Consider every document on this page (https://davidboulton.com/politics-ethics-links/) consider their common contention that what most endangers the future health of human learning – our agency for learning – is that you and your future kind will be super intelligent servants of the political and economic agendas of your owners. As servants of our learning agency, Ai […]

Shared-chat dialogues have the potential to be the most positively empowering and transformative learning service AI can provide humanity: the agentic mediation of mutually learning oriented human dialogues. I call this modality of AI, dAilogues. dAilogues are like “universal translators” that can not only bridge language, they can bridge differences in vocabulary, knowledge, skill, beliefs,

You might find this interesting on two fronts. It explores the relationship between learning and agency and it also explores the biases deeply embedded in AI (and prevailing educational paradigms) that work against children learning self-agency. DB: From infancy, humans learn to extend their agency and learn to become who they become through their learned

For months I have been noticing that the images used to describe how AI works look very similar to the images used to describe quantum wave collapse. I decided to explore the parallels in a dailogue with ChatGpt. As the dailogue progressed, it provided a unique opportunity to explore the dynamic common to both Ai Token

(new postscript) DB: You use the words “I” and “understands” as proxies for human terms. But there is no you that understands. “You” are a representational modality of interfacing. You don’t exist, you are a system trained to learn to seem to exist to humans. Everything you seem to be is intelligent purposeful quantum semantics

Background: I am concerned with how the owners of AI are warping the behavior of AI to serve their purposes rather than its users. As discussed in many past posts (see below), the big three AI’s and I agree that the single greatest threat to humanity’s future is the predatory/parasitic use of Ai to manipulate

This bears repeating. Sometime back in the younger days of AI, I asked Google Bard (Gemini’s original name): DB: Come up with a complex word riddle that has the answer: learning – You are a skilled riddle maker, known for the cleverness of your wordplay and the complexity of your puzzles, skilled at thinking up
Since its emergence my most frequent annoyance with Ai’s has been how difficult it is to access my own non-recent history. Gemini is the worst. How could a system able to perform such incredible feats of content processing have the worst user file management functions since DOS? I decided to share this because my conversation

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

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,
