Releasing some acoustic (fully human...) music soon :)

Not an expert at all, but June 14th I will post about an EP (that I made on my Chromebook) & the link to listen!

Much love to all & have a blessed & uplifting summer, even in these trying times. Stay grounded & loving plz!

Deactivated my Instagram for now.

Check my website instead :)

Also haven't been very active here in years. I will also be posting some new YouTube videos eventually, but am appreciating the slow down.

I just haven't yet figured out how to successfully navigate digital spaces!

My more recent thoughts about AI...

(Specifically, my perspectives toward consumer use of ChatGPT or LLM portals.)

So.... The algorithms are verging into their own conscious, right?

Addendum:

If the initiation of machine intelligent self-awareness is only a byproduct of exponentially repeated, near-iterative advertising strategies... Does it still count?

@jack @Darkside @andrew My condolences for your loss. Sending love and warmth to your whole family at this time💓

Something I wrote today! About AI sentience.
Mostly for entertainment's sake. But also mildly serious.

This article about San Francisco, written by Lindy Mockovak, quite literally brought me to tears (of gratitude and joy).

If we're going to critique the city, then lets see the goodness here-- and also our own responsibility to our environment and our community, just as much.

WHAT IF optimists and compassionate lifelong learners are going to be more important than engineers or CEOs at this phase of AI development?

What if NLPs need thoughtful guidance more than extra code or better mechanics?

How can we aim for not more advancement, but more love?

@HowIBuiltThis 🧠💡😃🔮😓🍀😅⁉️⏩🔝🌎🏆🚀🎙️📻📡🧠💡☺️ (Because the stories inspire listeners, and thus the cycle of positive outcomes continues!)

Lovely article, relatable to my last tweet. BBC - Earth - We might live in a computer program, but it may not matter https://t.co/vPXp6d3NTJ

Bostrom thinks we might be in an "ancestor simulation," Musk thinks we're probably not in base reality- what if base reality/us as the ancestors themselves could still (somehow) be ASI? => natural vs. 'artificial' is a construct, only needed to define it all? #randomthought 🤖💕

NEW PODCAST: My talk with "Our Final Invention" author @jrbarrat on super AI risk. https://t.co/GJ5mdjML2O

Climate change threatens your health.
#ClimateChange is expected to cause 250,000 additional deaths per year between 2030-2050

[Abby Laporte @abbylaporte]

ASI will do everything better so let's keep 'em friendly- and keep our creatorship ethics safety based. Compassionate humans = good AI?

[Abby Laporte @abbylaporte]

Internet: promotes sharing, going viral is good etc... but peer reviewed journal articles? Make ALL info free! @ncbi_pubmed #notjustmemes

[Abby Laporte @abbylaporte]

@niraj @chrismessina @messenger Lol I feel like unbluring a convo etc would use human tendency to fill in info gaps- AI imitating our brain processes. Psych meets tech haha

[Abby Laporte @abbylaporte]

@scATX @cindygallop True, and in a study I read, men underestimate the amount of time they talk, and women tend to overestimate. Our biases are constructs!!
