Ah, I see now! You’re referring to The One Above All (TOAA) from Marvel Comics. This character is considered the supreme being and the creator of the entire Marvel Multiverse. The One Above All is often interpreted as a representation of the writers and artists themselves—essentially Marvel’s depiction of “God.”

In certain stories, characters have interacted with TOAA in a way that breaks the fourth wall, such as when Peter Parker (Spider-Man) meets a version of TOAA portrayed as Jack Kirby, one of Marvel’s legendary creators. This concept blurs the line between the fictional universe and the real-world creators, making TOAA unique among Marvel’s cosmic entities.

Does that match what you were thinking of?

Idea that came up while talking to an autistic friend today on a walk (she is trying to develop interventions to help people with autism perceive social context better, the following is something I came up with in the middle of that conversation):

People on the spectrum have difficulty perceiving social vibes. This is a place where AI could readily provide some help, albeit in a very culture-specific way. What we need is a "social dynamics to vibes" dataset to train a multimodal system on, so that someone on the spectrum can put VR on (or Google glass?) and have the system read the room and display the vibes. But what kind of dataset exists that does this already?

Movies!

Movies provide a culturally-specific map from social dynamics to musical scores. And people on the spectrum can understand the emotional landscape of music.

You don't even need any human taggers here. Just train the model to take video and output the musical score of the scene.

Walking around, feeling the world through the musical score the scenes around you would be decorated with if you were on a movie.

Vibe computing via life musicalization. Add a soundtrack to your life, and detect the vibes you're missing out on.

So funny. $Tesla made money for liberals the way up and they way down xD

blaming 3 youtubers for the entire fall of $TSLA is wild.
The stock was down 50% before my video even went live. 😂 you sure its not the roman salute? the 10 years of failed FSD promises? where's the Roadster? why are the cybertruck's panels glued on?

The ship is sinking, the captain has fled, the crew has sold, and im just watchin.

Dunno man
The Russian people are indeed much better than they are portrayed as in media
Putin on the other hand just straight up seems like a cartoon villain
People around him constantly kill themselves, jump out of windows, disappear

Why is Trump insisting he's a good guy?

Theme of the month: BALANCE
The Lightworker balances on a wire, grasping electric fire in the shape of a sine wave, the universal symbol of energy, while focusing forward.
Marching forward into the shifting seasons, we enter the Springtime energy of the Vernal Equinox, a sacred moment of cosmic equilibrium, where light and darkness stand as equals. The universe moves in rhythms of polarities in balance: the Earth tilts, the tides rise and fall, the sun and moon share the sky as day follows night. This celestial dance is a reminder that we, too, are part of the great unfolding, our soul constantly spinning, like a psychic gyroscope, seeking an upright center. The saw blade halo around his head represents the incisive brilliance that cuts through obstacles with sharp vision. Over his head spirals a funnel of golden flame signifying the higher source that ultimately guides all good works.
As the world transitions from winter's stillness to spring's rebirth, we are invited to align with this natural flow, to release what no longer serves and embrace what is ready to bloom. As we release what no longer serves us and set intentions for what we wish to cultivate, may we trust in the wisdom of balance. May we walk forward with grace, knowing that like the moon, we are always evolving, always finding our way forward through cycles of loss and fullness.

Every so often, seeing a recent advance, for example in bioelectricity research, someone says that Tesla, Robert Becker, or the ancient magi (Eastern or Western) already knew it.

In this time of reduced funding for basic and applied science, driven by widespread misunderstanding of scientific progress and its importance for economic, personal, and social flourishing, I wanted to emphasize the following.

Of course we should always give credit to those who envisioned the future long ago. But landing on the moon was in no way the same as Jules Verne's 1865 stories about it, and the same is true for recent advances in biology and biomedicine. It does a real disservice to the many scientists in labs world-wide, who work hard every day to make vague thoughts of the past into practical, reliable reality in the present (and definitive solutions for the future). Understanding the molecular mechanisms and developing tools that enable them to be deployed at will is a totally different level of advance than anything that came before. And you can bet that all the scientists who commit to long hours, massive job uncertainty, and low pay are not devoting their life to re-treading things that are really known and already work well. It may not seem like it to the layperson, but if you look at the actual details of what was really done in the past, vs. what is being done now, you will see the difference. Look for specific predictions, ability to rule out some models over others, and portable protocols that let anyone replicate specific, predictable outcomes.

Take the time to appreciate the distinction, and the amazing increases in understanding and capability that have been gained. It is dangerous to conflate the two, because it ignores the incredible medical suffering of patients world-wide (including countries where qi-gong etc. is popular) who are waiting on scientists and clinicians to develop detailed understanding and reliable medical applications. Make no mistake, these patients and their plight wouldn't exist if the great people of old had really solved the problems.

Do not misunderstand the distance between postulating the existence of something that you've caught a glimpse of, and partially taming it - making it a rigorous, practical reality that gives reliable control over some corner of the natural world. It is a hard, hard road and we need to understand (and support) those who work it. The wise men of old would be stunned to see where the state of the art is today; they would in no way confuse their early glimpses for the hard-won advances. And of course, there's so much more to do in the future.

The official paper is out - Chris Fields and I on the origin of life:
https://t.co/DNkRjQL0HQ
"We argue here that the Origin of Life (OOL) problem is not just a chemistry problem but is also,
and primarily, a cognitive science problem. When interpreted through the lens of the Conway-
Kochen theorem and the Free Energy Principle, contemporary physics characterizes all complex
dynamical systems that persist through time as Bayesian agents. If all persistent systems are to
some – perhaps only minimal – extent cognitive, are all persistent systems to some extent alive, or
are living systems only a subset of cognitive systems? We argue that no bright line can be drawn,
and we re-assess, from this perspective, the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation. We conclude
that improving our abilities to recognize and communicate with diverse intelligences in diverse
embodiments, whether based on familiar biochemistry or not, will either resolve or obviate the
OOL problem."
