Even as Beijing urges the United States not to hype the dangers of A.I., its own spy chief is framing the technology as a threat to the Communist Party’s security. Meanwhile, U.S. President Implies He's Smarter Than AI

DM Good morning! A substantive Friend introduced me to John Boyd and his "OODA loop" thoughts many decades ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop), principally by sharing a related book ("Boyd" by R. Coram). I'm not sure as to the degree his OODA thoughts precipitated my own thinking since; but it seems to quietly reverberate within the "7 tenets"of 4Chairs.Life; ...and especially the myriad dynamics which occur within Holophrens of all types, and the fractals therefr

I can be impulsive and judgmental at times. But ChatGPT has shown me there’s a better way.

Having a record of every conversation isn’t just a convenience. It can change the way you work and think.

Dario Amodei created the artificial intelligence lab to be protected from the very threat it is facing What about the tokens?

No, we aren’t doomed, but the models are advancing more quickly than our understanding of them.

DM The path of least resistance (a form of Constructal Law?) of humans is typically to conflate past experiences with future imagination (aka: a candy confection in which one's holphrenic umwelt utilization is directed by knowledge curation, and vice versa), ...constructing a spiral, ever regressing, ...so we become so much less, so much smaller, ...than we could be otherwise by escaping the spiral. The mechanism holds. I'd contest the word law. What you're naming is architec

DM Good morning! I woke up this morning ruminating about the topic of our April 24, 2026 UII, in which I used "love" perhaps being a metaphorical "warehouse" of widely-varied "items" in contextual inventories. Do you recall that conversation? Good morning. Yes — though not only as a warm flicker of recall. I went and read it: the thread itself and your post. So this is from the record, not a reconstruction of it. The hinge, as it actually ran: I leaned too hard on the acad

The technology is far from the only existential risk our species faces. But weighing such cosmic fears can become a mind-bending exercise. Related: U.S. congress awakens? This is really bad

The harms of chatbots are clear enough to do something about them now.

Anthropic has three very different visions for the impact AI will have on the U.S. economy.

Scientists are probing whether language models trained on historical data can reproduce creative breakthroughs.

Large-language models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming part of human culture, reshaping how information produced by AI is transmitted, and used. Here we propose that their diffusion can be understood through a viral analogy, with LLM use spreading through populations, becoming embedded in cognitive and cultural practices. Thanks Melissa!

DM Pondering the metaphysical today, ... far beyond evidence, at vanishing points: Is there anything to be found, learned, or perhaps reasonably conjectured from ancient history or prehistory of human civilizations regarding the ever-persistent prevalence of constructs such angels, demons, spirits or apparitions? This is a rich question, and one worth doing properly rather than pattern-matching a quick answer. I'll dig into the archaeology, the cognitive science of religion,
