@GaryMarcus Thanks, Gary! I know you are doing your best to help humanity skillfully navigate as we rocket into our sci-fi future!🙏😀

@ZeteticAdvocate I hope you get full access soon! It’s hard to get anything done these days unless we are fully connected!

@CJFerguson1111 Here’s my frustration. If we take a historical view, most of us in the modern world have it pretty good, as @sapinker has discussed. Yet, we’re so ungrateful/blind that we fight & vilify one another instead of appreciating how lucky we are & make our lives worse in the process.

@samuelj19th I saw it too! I believe I read somewhere that they had a strict time limit – and they were supposed to do Pride/In the Name of Love. But Bono got so carried away with Bad & dancing with a fan that they ran out of time & his bandmates were pissed off!

@michaelshermer @sapinker I’m a psychologist and have been practicing for 26 years. I don’t know that what you’re describing is typical. When was the last time you went to therapy? Mostly, we just create a safe space, a strong, therapeutic alliance, and help people deal with the struggles of life.

@GenTXer2 Presto!

@GrantHBrennerMD AI is great for brainstorming – I find it helps tremendously! And I always press it to give me objective feedback – and I run ideas through five AIs. I let them know if they want to please me, give me “Truth First.” No egoic attachments to ideas is key.

Because WE haven’t changed. As Henry David Thoreau remarked about the industrial revolution of his age, we have
“improved means to unimproved ends.” Philosopher/author Daniel Quinn put it this way: “If the world is saved, it will not be saved by old minds with new programs but by new minds with no programs at all.”

@goodside @seriousposterr “What is the most important truth about reality that, if humanity truly understood and lived it, would maximize our chances of survival and thriving?” These are the types of questions we ask at https://t.co/n7aplga9T2. We are doing an AI doc about this if you want to help! 🤔🙏😀

@CliffordSosin Great article! When I ask AI about how AGI/ASI will affect humanity, these super intelligent AIs typically say the implications are profound & far-reaching. Also, the bigger deal might be whether consciousness, autonomy, or agency emerges from the evolution of complex systems.

@melhpine We need to think outside the box - we must allow space for the future to breathe. What’s happening is mindblowing! 🤯IMHO, “artificial persons” kinda sounds like fake people. Synthetic? Nonbiological? I think even “artificial intelligence” is a misnomer. The intelligence is real.

@RaconteurR2D2 The dangers evolve exponentially with AI - no one can keep up. This is just the beginning. We have an “evolutionary blindness” to what lies ahead. https://t.co/2HI1skUASX

[Neighbors First | Mike Brooks @DrMikeBrooks]

@PierceLilholt Yes!

[Neighbors First | Mike Brooks @DrMikeBrooks]

I’m a psychologist - love AI, but with great power comes great responsibility. And as James Cameron taught us from the Terminator movies, “There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.” So, the future is not set. I’m working with a film studio & a great team on an AI documentary. It’s about finding a skillful path forward into our collective future. DM me if you’re interested in helping!

@EvolvingKymera I think we think a lot alike! Have you read @robertwrighter’s “The God Test”? It’s outstanding! He’s in the same headspace – I’m working with the film studio on an AI documentary – we are including these ideas!

@cdnclaud @barrybutler9 @rushtheband @UnitedCenter @ChooseChicago He was very spiritual – he wasn’t a militant atheist. I think the songs Totem, Mystic Rhythms, and The Garden captured some of his beliefs fairly well. “No one gets to heaven without a fight.” If there is a heaven, I have faith that
Neil is in it!

@RealJTP2 My #1 U2 song - and all time favorite song - is “Where the Streets Have No Name”!😀
