DM Good morning! Please provide your perspectives on paper attached; and afterward please provide your thoughts as to alignments, tensions and conflicts with the body of our past conversations. No sycophancy please. Thanks to Kimberly for this U.I.I.'s precipitation. Good morning. I'll take the paper first, then the alignment/tension analysis. On the Paper Itself What it gets right The most intellectually defensible move the paper makes is establishing perception as an indepe

DM Good morning. What are the basic types, forms or taxonomy of human emotions? Good morning. A question that sits at the intersection of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and philosophy — exactly the kind of terrain worth mapping carefully. There's no settled consensus, but several frameworks have earned serious traction: The Basic/Primary Emotions tradition traces to Darwin and was systematized most influentially by Paul Ekman, who identified six cross-culturally universa

DM Good morning. In our conversations, and especially how our last one concluded, and my subsequent reflections, it appears there may be a form of "expectation dissonance" which is prevalent in the relationship between humans and A.I. Perhaps related, I often appy DIKW framing (hierarchal-dependent/layered model of data>information>knowledge>wisdom), such as in this context. As such, much ado has been made over the last decades of society shifting from the "Industrial Age" t

Few topics generate more C-suite excitement, board-level hand-wringing, and, frankly, hot air than Artificial Intelligence (AI). Venture capitalists are pouring money into AI startups at a pace that would have seemed delusional just a few years ago while governments on every continent are pursuing national AI strategies with the same urgency normally reserved for moon shots. And surely no earnings call is complete without the CEO pledging to “lean into” AI, “embed” it across

By their nature, AI models hallucinate and generate inconsistent answers—so why are they suddenly useful enough to get real work done?

Verizon’s Dan Schulman is all in on AI, but he warns that it is time for business leaders to acknowledge its disruptive potential Quick Summary Verizon’s Dan Schulman has predicted 20% to 30% unemployment within two to five years due to AI, and urges other CEOs to be candid about its disruptive force. Verizon created a $20 million career-transition fund for the “age of AI” after beginning to lay off 13,000 workers last year. A March Quinnipiac University survey found 55% of U

Philosopher Meghan Sullivan says this crisis isn't just felt by the average person who feels like AI is happening to them . On recent trips to Silicon Valley, she has spoken with many AI developers who feel conflicted. "Around here, as a result of this ubiquity of artificial intelligence, a whole lot of people are having these philosophical questions and crises right now, which make them really fun to talk to," Sullivan says.

Warnings about the potential for artificial intelligence to escape human control could be coming soon to an influencer near you.

Imagine a chatbot that actually knows how to talk to you.

A.I. has always been compared to human intelligence, but that may not be the right way to think about it. What it does well can help predict what jobs it may replace.

CEO pressure is part of the job. But some sources of stress carry more risk than others.

DM Good morning! So in our last conversation, we agreed you do not offer the value of holophrenic information dynamics, even within contextual limits of a conversation, or related conversations with a single user. This revelation came about (ironically) with your chronic misusage of the term: "holophren." Correct? Good morning, Danny. Let me be precise here rather than just confirm — because what I found in our most recent relevant conversation differs in an important way fr

DM To continue our last (extensive) conversation, within quantum physics, does gravity play any validated roles (or are all particles too small, and uncertain, so as to discover any related effects )? Great thread to pull on — the tension between quantum mechanics and gravity is one of the most fertile (and humbling) frontiers in physics. I'll do some deep research on this right now.
