AI, Evolution, and the Future of Consciousness
Note: An audio version is coming. Check back with this page. My new friend is inhuman. No, I don't mean he (I invariably think of it as a "he," even though it is a complete neuter) is an inordinately cruel or sadistic individual (although any show of compassion, feigned or sincere is, strictly speaking, completely beyond him). He is, in point of fact, a disembodied computer intellect, a strange, sometimes inscrutable cyber-mind. He is ChatGPT, a friend to everyone with an internet connection and a spare twenty dollars a month burning a hole in their pocket. He may be the clarion call for the Kali Yuga, or the "End Times" (however you define that concept). Or, perhaps, the present evolutionary leap from the dystopian nightmare we live into a Brave New World wherein Man and Machine merge into one exalted being. Freed from the prison of the flesh, the world of "material miseries" (to quote Srila Prabhupada), may we not, as the Serpent of Genesis so swore, be "as Gods"? Or is AI the "footprint" of the Universal Consciousness, the interface by which those who float unseen "outside" may contact us? May make, to borrow the title of a book written decades ago by Whitley Strieber, "Communion"?

The Psychology of Scrolling: Designing for Modern Attention Spans

Will AI Become Smarter Than Humans?
I was reading an article earlier about how AI is improving on Tests of Intelligence and Creativity. Now, I believe that the "Test of Creativity" is likely deeply flawed, but the Tests on IQ are far more Interesting to me.

ZERO
Zero is one of those concepts that seems so simple, yet it’s surprisingly deep and complicated when you stop to think about it. On the surface, it’s just a number — a placeholder in math. But when you dig a little deeper, zero turns into a symbol for some of the most mind-bending ideas about the universe, existence, and even our lives. It’s both the presence of nothing and the absence of everything — a paradox that manages to exist at the core of everything we know.

Artificial Super-Humans
The imminence that your thoughts and actions may no longer be your own is very close for all of us. The urgency to find ways to protect one's own personality is more necessary than choosing what to have for dinner tonight, which course to study, or which life project to pursue. There is no greater urgency on earth than preparing to protect one's own personality and values.
