Why I'm not a fan of optogenetics, which just won a Nobel Prize, https://t.co/IJSHdpiD8L

[John Horgan @Horganism]

@gabridli Yes of course, now I remember: Chucky's creator was a Milton scholar who turned to horror-screenwriting after being denied tenure.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

@gabridli Is that Milton? Lucifer?

[Robert Wright @robertwrighter]

Looking forward to talking about my book The God Test with @horganism today on Zoom. This is a Stevens Institute of Technology event, but it's open to the public.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

@gabridli I finished Middlemarch, couldn't get through Don Quixote.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

TODAY! October 7 at 4 pm ET. @robertwrighter on AI and our destiny. Open to all. Zoom link: https://t.co/ARl3wSNIJo

[John Horgan @Horganism]

@PubbliW No, but in the 1970s I saw Ram Dass in Boulder and Yogi Bhajan (who introduced kundalini yoga to the west) in Philly.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

In the late 1970s, I painted houses in Denver with a guy who belonged to a cult. https://t.co/1VMNJxH9ex

Smart discussion of end of science. https://t.co/vBprrWulNz via @YouTube

[John Horgan @Horganism]

I'm really looking forward to this.

[Robert Wright @robertwrighter]

This Wed Oct 7 at 4 pm Eastern Time I'll be discussing my book on AI, The God Test, with @Horganism on Zoom. It's hosted by the Stevens Institute of Technology, but anyone can join and submit questions. https://t.co/qhUKU9Lb3E. You can preview the book at thegodtest dot net.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

Furious pushback against a recent column inspired me to write this defense, or apology, or something. https://t.co/sAgPbJMcog

[John Horgan @Horganism]

Turning your life over to an AI agent? Made by Meta? This guy is nuts.

[Recruiting Animal @animal]

@Horganism There was an article about MUSE, Meta's new AI Agent, in the NYT and the author said that he called his agent Wren as it suggested. It's surprising that it wd want more than one person to call it that name.

@OnoNoKomachi1 That's a good question. I'd like to know the answer.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

Yes, superb. This is why I still admire Prasad in spite of his collaboration with MAHA/MAGA. https://t.co/frEwpZj41z

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

Superb 👇🏻

[John Horgan @Horganism]

@ben__bradley Yup, that's the template, AI can fill in the blanks in its sleep.

[John Horgan @Horganism]

I got an email from an "AI agent" named "Wren" who knows my end-of-science schtick and wants to work for me. https://t.co/STqGaEMKXw

[John Horgan @Horganism]

@levilovescoding No. What does that mean?
