In his “Looking in the Mirror” episode of “Lyrics of Livin” (hear him in full below), Matthew McConaughey, with his distinctly cool gravitas, says: “AI’s a big mirror we’re holding up to ourselves, but it’s still only a reflection” My first response was who is he talking about? The “we’re” seems like a future historian’s […]

We can’t use human ways of thinking about knowing to explain AI’s process of tokening. AI’s have semantically arbitrary, mechanical rather semantic, meaning space extent limits. An AI user’s bandwidth limits (technologically or customer type) affect the “depth” of context informing the tokening. That’s what makes AIs seem so absurd – as if they are

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

(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

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

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
