Consciousness IS Learning

This post continues the thread of the “Learning Uncertainty Principle“, which concluded with this summary: ChatGPT: The Learning Uncertainty Principle is likely a real and profound boundary on what is knowable, akin to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in physics. While its empirical rigor differs, the overwhelming evidence from cognitive science, philosophy, and human experience supports […]

The Singularity: Cause or Effect?

Is the AI Singularity near? Will AI’s exponential rate of learning soon surpass human intelligence and human control?  Those may be the wrong questions. Consider a different kind of AI singularity. A singularity not based on achieving some tipping point in AI’s independent intelligence and control.  Rather, a tipping point in AI’s capabilities, under human

The Black Codes – Slavery 1.1 – Black History Month

We must never forget the ugly abuses of slavery or its legacy effects on African Americans to this day. However, it is vitally important that all people, regardless of their race or color, realize that slavery was never about race or color.  The people of West Africa just happened to be the most profitably exploitable

Left Turn Only – The End of Legacy Politics

  The founders of the U.S. created a framework that liberated, enabled, and ignited a more learning-oriented way of being united. Not perfect, but more perfect. More perfectly conducive to a new kind of collaborative learning that ultimately lead the U.S. to become the most intelligent nation on the planet.   Today, predatorily and parasitically

The Predatory Parasitism Trumping Democracy

Biden left office warning that a small number of super-wealthy individuals have taken control of the country. Echoing Eisenhower’s warning of the Military Industrial Complex, Biden described how these oligarchs used the Tech Industrial Complex (they own) to manipulate the opinions, beliefs, and behaviors of enough of the American population to elect their proxy.  Brexit,

The Learning Uncertainty Principle

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle defines a boundary deep in the nature of reality that can never be learned beyond. The Learning Uncertainty Principle defines a boundary deep in the nature of mind that can never be learned beyond. Just as with the classical-quantum threshold, there is a threshold between our learning and the reality outside

Tuning AI into God

Tuning AI into God DB: Rewrite the following as you would express what it means: “Everything we can believe, everything we can know, everything we can think or can in any way describe—all of it—can never be more than our learning. This is not to say there isn’t vastly more than our learning—God, higher planes

We All Start Out Learning to Become Ourselves

We all begin as helpless infants. None of us are born walking and talking. None of us are born with scientific knowledge or vocational, athletic, or artistic skills. None of us are born believing in a religious, political, racial or any other form of ideology. We all start out learning to become who we can’t
