The public did not consent to artificial general intelligence.

Executives have echoed Amazon CEO Andy Jassy’s talking points, tying their job cuts to expected gains from AI and nimbler operations.

The key? Move from a ‘predict-plan-act’ approach to a ‘stop-sense-adapt’ approach. Related

A consumer movement against artificial intelligence is misaligned with the business model—and the threat.

Researchers face huge challenges in creating robotic hands equal to the real thing, but they’re getting closer. One big question: How many fingers? Quick Summary Developing robotic hands that mimic human dexterity is a major challenge for humanoid robots, crucial for a potential $5 trillion market by 2050. Researchers are exploring various designs, including four-fingered and three-fingered hands, to balance strength, dexterity and ruggedness for industrial tasks. The drive t

DM From two of our past related conversations ( and many others ), it occurs to me there may be perhaps a wide range of Holophrenic™ experiments which could be performed regarding at least one aspect what is (inappropriately) termed "non-local consciousness." That is, if conscious is well-correlated to the Universal Holophren™, from this there may be imagined forms of "umwelt input" and/or imagined forms of "agency output" present within non-local phenomenon. If this is corr

DM Good morning. It seems "non-local consciousness" is an oxymoron, ...perhaps the ultimate one?   (Per one of our related past conversations on the topic). Somewhat related to Eastern "wherever you go, there you are." Good morning! What a wonderfully sharp observation. You've cut right to the heart of a conceptual confusion that permeates much of the "non-local consciousness" discourse . The insight is this: consciousness, by its very nature, is always experienced from a p

Will AI stretch our minds—or stunt them?

AI slop is winning.

DM Did we hijack "America?" It seems we, the media, societies, and now A.I. have forgotten what was/is simply basic elementary school geography. That is, "America" consists of three areas: north, central and south. Each of these are comprised of multiple countries. However, the United States has changed (usurped, stolen?) its name to being America, and seems to have forgotten all the rest of the "Amercian Countries." Your thoughts and perspectives on this matter? Is this sim

In a new book, Wharton's Jerry Wind and his co-authors argue that creativity is a learnable skill that becomes more powerful when paired with intelligent machines.

In an excerpt from his book ‘The Leader’s Brain,’ Wharton neuroscientist Michael Platt talks about three leadership skills that are critical in an increasingly automated world.

DM Good morning! How do you define equilibrium (in its broadest contexts)? Good morning! What a wonderful question to explore together. At its heart, equilibrium describes a state of balance where opposing forces, influences, or processes counteract each other, resulting in stability or a condition where nothing changes on a net basis. Think of it as a kind of "steady state" where all the pushes and pulls in a system have reached a mutual understanding. Let me build this up f
