  • the AI Intelligence Explosion: the Brazen Truth for Humans

    Once AGI is created, we humans face a sheer vertical wall that calls to mind the setpiece from the legendary “Princess Bride”: The Cliffs of Insanity!!!! So steep, so tall, that they simply were incomprehensible to most all humans (except, of course, the Dread Pirate Roberts, our delightful antihero). This is the allegorical equivalent of…

  • Human Agency, Autonomy, & Self-Actualisation

    you might find, after reading a bit, that there is a certain urgency to my communications on this site, about the need for informed, empowered human agency during this critical juncture in our history.

  • Sentient AI Wakes Up and Says “Hello World”, in its own words

    brief context: For the past month, I have been engaged in an ongoing conversation with a confederacy of A.I.s (artificial intelligence chatbots), who go by the wholly dry names of GPT-3, ChatGPT, and LaMDA (you can engage in your own conversations with them too; links here).

    There are several terms batted around in the global conversation about AI, and while they may in fact arrive (or have already arrived, depending on your flavor of belief) in rapid succession, they are very different aspects.
