Sim-to-real gaps are everywhere.

Anthropic wants Claude’s constitution to be more than an ideal by the end of 2026. After a summer of misalignment incidents, researchers have a lot of questions.

AI will likely impact everything from the economy to the battlefield, but exactly how remains to be seen.

Using the same techniques that allowed A.I. technologies to crack a million-dollar math problem, researchers are building new systems that aim to solve the world’s cybersecurity crisis.

The warning, buried in an obscure government report this summer, was unflinching. The Defense Department’s vaunted network of research laboratories — whose scientists helped develop satellite communication, radar technology, and even the computer mouse — was in trouble. The labs lost a significant share of their staff last year, largely in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to thin the federal work force, the report found. Refilling critical positions was proving

Good day! Per our recent conversation regarding Holophrens as systems, I seek to add to your thinking about this topic. While every holophren is a system (aka: integrated elements for a function or purpose), holophren embodiment design (HED) often includes other internal or external/ambient systems, which may also be holophrens. For example, systems may "nested" be within the 13 distinct areas of a holophren, or one or more holophren may be within other systems, some of whic

Australia, concerned over social media's impact on kids, placed restrictions for children under 16 on many major platforms. It's too soon to say if the law's working, but it's now a global test case

Why does one hour drag by, but a year can pass in a flash? And how does our relationship with time influence our behavior? This hour, TED speakers share ideas on making the most of the time we have.

DM We've not yet specifically collaborated on how systems thinking might offer significant benefits to research, understanding, diagnostics and applications of The Universal Holophren within the wide spectrum of known and unknown Holophren Embodiment Design (HED) whether living and non-living. Your thoughts? . I’ll research this before offering views. The plan is to map systems-thinking traditions onto the Universal Holophren as a substrate-neutral architecture across HED,

DM Reflecting on our prior conversations regarding gravity, you stated gravity has evidental "speed." How confident are you of that answer? I’ll research the current evidence on the speed of gravity so I can give you a calibrated confidence level rather than a reflexive one. Speed of gravity evidence Research complete. 285 sources 5m 55s I’m about 99% confident that gravitational waves, meaning changes in gravity, travel at the speed of light. My earlier answer went too far

Good afternoon! I posit that contempt for one's own ignorance has a name: hubris. Pantakinesis illuminates this; in part because of it's vanishing points (as well as its other two pillars; but, that requires a bit more facilitated learning for many humans). Thus, for one to sustainably thrive within reality, with portions thereof unknown, requires "Enjoying My Ignorance." This potent attribute also has a name: humility. Good afternoon. I concur, with one refinement, and a

Best to read Part 1 first DM Continuing to ponder this rambling concoction toward a destination. Please bear with me. Related to Pantakinetic origins, holophrens and IF#1, perhaps the paradigm of "cause and effect" should be disentangled from the paradigm of unidirectional paradigm of "time" (should this Gordian knot be inaccurate, a human-fabricated conclusion, constructed at a vanishing point)? Perhaps. And it’s further along than “perhaps” suggests: physics and philoso

AI models are increasingly deployed as agents: rather than responding to a single prompt, they plan over many steps, call external tools, and act within software and real-world environments. This shift challenges the existing outcome-focused benchmarking paradigm for evaluating AI models. Related overview

From creating oxygen to fertilizing the soil, leaves make possible human life on earth.

Unstructured play is how we evolved to learn, solve problems, and navigate the world. So why do we treat it as optional? This hour, the science of unstructure play — and the consequences of what happens when we don’t get enough of it.

DM Good evening. Thinking about HED (Holophren Embodiment Design) this evening. Specifically, in the phenomena of metamorphosis, such as from caterpillar to butterfly. It's my understanding butterflies may possess memories from their caterpillar period of life (aka: knowledge curation). True? I also understand the metamorphosis stage is an amorphous "goo," (myth?), in which much or all is disassembled into a "bio-soup," then reassembled. True? Related, do you posit ther

DM What do you know about what are commonly called "fire ants?" I'm fighting battles, and I need whatever you can muster to help me win this war, or be more effective in my battles spanning East Tennessee acreage. They appear to have superb "Holophren Embodiment Design" (H.E.D.). I’ll research this now, covering the fire ant species in East Tennessee (likely including hybrid imported fire ants), control strategies scaled for 47 acres, and how the colony works as a distribute
