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 […]

(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

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

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

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

Last week, Dr. Rick Lippin, a friend and the leader of an online group of thought leaders, asked this question: Would someone please explain to me why Climate Change wasn’t a major issue in the recent Trump/Harris Presidential Election? (It was barely mentioned or covered) Extreme weather if not disasters are now at ALL our
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,

“In a recent video, Bill Gates called “misinformation” the #1 unsolvable problem facing today’s young people. A week later Taylor Swift, in her Harris endorsement post, referred to her “fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation”. I asked Gemini (Ai) to review all of Taylor Swift’s and Bill Gates’ recorded uses of the
