Re: Polanyi? No.
Polanyi's Tacit Knowledge? I don't know enough about Polanyi to say with any authority, but at least one scholar notes that Polanyi's theory neglects Weltanschauung . Adam Holzman, “Karl Polanyi and the Rise of Modernity: A Critique,” intersections 12, no. 1 (2012): 91-112; see p.108 : The answer l...

2019 paper: I conclude that this manuscript was probably copied around the second half of the third century BCE. Cross dates it “to the mid-third century CBE”,7 which is possible, but I would not go much earlier. One scholar's opinion is worth hearing out, but this sounds like very thin, speculativ...

Fascinating article on Claude 3: Hints of Setience?
https://www.consortiuminfo.org/artificial-intelligence/are-ais-self-aware-conversations-with-claude-3/ Conversing with Claude can seem entirely human, with Claude passing the Turing test on steroids.
