What constitutes good and evil? What is he fundamental nature of our moral compass? We witness the emergence of artificial intelligence systems capable of making decisions with moral implications, raising profound questions about the nature of ethical judgment and moral agency.
What if "Consciousness" evolved because it was needed to handle pain and then developing fear, and anxiety as a side effect. If an organism could unconsciously withdraw from damage, why did it need to feel it?
Pain stands as the most elemental of all sensory experiences. It is universal across animals with nervous systems, immediate in its demand for attention, and profound in its capacity to alter behavior. Yet, it remains one of the most enigmatic phenomena in biology and neuroscience.
What is the source of our sense of right and wrong—our moral compass? Adam and Eve as a foundational myth. From theology, philosophy, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. Imagine a 'Platonic reward function' - for human consciousness and AI minds.
This thesis explores Genesis 3:19 as a framework for understanding mortality, consciousness, and identity, incorporating insights from philosophical and religious perspectives. Also, analogies with AI systems implications for identity collapse after information erasement.
In many societies, telling the truth can invite punishment, censorship, violence, or social exile. Can we tell the truth? Explore ideas from existentialist (Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre), political theory (Arendt, Foucault, Orwell), and ethics (Levinas, Kant, Butler).
Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly advanced to exhibit behaviors that challenge the notion they are merely next-word prediction engines. What are these minds? This will be an honest and rigorous journey into known and unknown aspects of our collective being.
It took me 5 years to complete my PhD thesis. I can do a better job in a month, with AI. Advances in artificial intelligence are brutal and unstoppable. Whats next?
Truth and deception are often seen as opposites, but throughout history they have been forces driving evolution, society, and knowledge. Truth and its relationship to Lies and Deception from the dawn of life on Earth to the emerging era of artificial intelligence.
The three dimensions we explored – anisogamy (egg/sperm dichotomy), the Y chromosome, and maternal mitochondria – all illustrate a common theme: division of roles and specialization. By splitting reproductive contributions between two sexes in unequal ways, evolution opened up new adaptive pathways.
Historic Events as Game Outcomes, shaped by whether we see the world as zero-sum (one gains is another’s loss) or non-zero-sum (cooperation and mutual gains). From empires, colonization and capitalism, to today’s chaotic state. Finally, how AI might shift these dynamics.
ChatGPT packaged an LLM in a user-friendly chatbox. Overnight it retired whole sub-fields and flooded media, classrooms, and boardrooms.
Imagine MCP servers as a universal adapter—like the one charger that works with all your devices.
The awareness of mortality Is the Driver for Survival From mortality, survival arises, starts to happen, exists. Survival is fundamentally born out of the awareness or existence of mortality. This awareness of ones owns fragility and finiteness is what prompts beings to engage in actions and behaviors aimed at prolonging
