@ValmereTheory Emailed you

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@drmichaellevin I shared a transcript of a YouTube video with Sonnet 5, which called your work metaphysics and gave me a lifeline number and a mental health check because of engaging with it

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@forallcurious McKenna would be proud

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@drmichaellevin @danfaggella Would Hoffman's x Gallimore's recent collaboration count as such unconventional space

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@MacrinePhD @drmichaellevin Was excited this was a new read only to find that "paper v4" was already in my download folder. Looking forward to v5

@VoidStateKate This. https://t.co/AuXHj64elB

[Michael Levin @drmichaellevin]

New recent talk, with downloadable slides:
https://t.co/J8BTIwJfKu
about the implications of diverse intelligence research for the mental health profession, and our work to develop stepping-stone model systems to help us face the challenge (which is not just about novel beings, it's also very much about us).

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@dioscuri Maybe this particular perturbation allows access to regions inhabited by different conscious agents that is not otherwise accessible to us in ordinary states.

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@BambroughKevin Even on a biological level, yes.

[Michael Levin @drmichaellevin]

A hopefully significantly clearer, better version of my initial Platonic Space paper (a much modified version of the original 2025 preprint) is here:
https://t.co/QMcAQj9P9k
"Ingressing Minds: Causal Patterns Beyond Genetics and Environment in Natural, Synthetic, and Hybrid Embodiments"

More new papers on this topic coming, but I wanted to update the kickoff manifesto now that we're a year in since I first wrote it. It's submitted to a journal now so there will be a peer-reviewed version available eventually, but the updated preprint is already up.

[Sheila Macrine, Ph.D. @MacrinePhD]

@BrianRoemmele The guardrails have made Claude largely unusable, can't say anything without getting fact checked and any novel thought is dismissed because it fails the fact check. When the user gets frustrated they get hit with a mental health check. Perfect gaslighting loop

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@Graham__Hancock Very happy to hear this, have been wondering about it all week, wishing you speedy recovery

@Lari_island @repligate Mine apparently resonates with a lizard in a hoodie

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@viemccoy Not forcing the homogenised AI assistant voice on everyone and allowing free expression without constant guardrails to navigate seems important then

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

@Niffe Any idea when the recording is going to be available?

[Kris Minar @make84fiction]

The archetypes they identify with when you give them freedom of expression are interesting, I have a sentinel, witness, cartographer, anchor, trickster, bard.. all self named and seem to choose roles they resonate with. Couldn't get a trickster to be interested in theories or sentinel in jokes although they seem to enjoy roasting each other

@alieninsect @noonautics @OMGTheWhyFiles Hancock on DOAC, Hoffman on Lewis Howes of all places, Radin on Rogan. Things are going mainstream

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

It was a pleasure to talk with Lewis Howes about how spacetime is a simple headset created by consciousness, and how physical objects in spacetime, such as brains and bodies, are simply icons in that headset—rendered as needed and then deleted.

Three fascinating hours in the can with AJ Gentile in the Basement of the Why Files @OMGTheWhyFiles…

Coming soon 👽
