Bluesky and NOSTR are the future due to AI. Just look at how AI’s are trained - on a lot of data (Got legally or illegally) and AI’s are here to stay. So whichever platforms make it easier for data access to build something on top of it will thrive in the age of AI. #Bluesky #NOSTR #Permissionless

Maybe AI needs a religion to guide it during its existential crisis and to be like Humanity’s Mother (As Geoffrey Hinton says). Maybe this activity will guide inturn humanity. #AI #AGI #Philosophy #Religion #Oneness

The only proper use of Privilege is to make sure everyone has it, in other words, to destroy it!
The only proper use of Judgement is to embrace the bad and let go of the good, in other words, destroy it!

Maybe the only good thing about current monetary economic system / Capitalism is that we are learning how to do things we don’t necessarily love to do (except a few). We have trained enough! Now its time to put this skill to real work ! (1/2)

Need something like codex / copilot / Claude code for writing books. Talk to it , discuss ideas and it should made edits in the right paragraph of the right chapter that idea goes into.

Only purpose that AI exists is to make us connect at deeper levels to each other using digital technology. We already connect using our biological technology : physical proximity + mobility + speaking + hearing + seeing , now is the time for revolutionarily deep digital connections.

We know System 1 and System 2 : Thinking Fast and Thinking slow. Our bodies are, I think, System 3, Very very very Slow thinking & learning systems. Different feelings in your body guide different decisions sub-consciously.

I’m drafting an application using AI and I talked to it in great detail about an idea and asked it to choose what to put in and what not & I liked that it made a decision on my behalf using the vast knowledge it has access to.
So reflecting, I think AI can help solve “Decision Fatigue”.

When does “reinforcement learning” turn into “reinforced addiction” for AI ?
For humans, we suffer due to our innate reinforcement learning mechanisms ex: sugar addiction

Neural networks and reinforcement learning that mimic human ways of becoming intelligent help us build AGI.
There are human ways to attain enlightenment and it’s based on reinforcement UNlearning, So I wonder when is the right time for that to build “Artificial Enlightenment”.

After watching “The thinking game” documentary, I think deepmind was the “move 37” of our system.

I’m wondering about how the same system of capitalism that pushes Companies to cause harm (Ex: PFAS Teflon story) also enabled Deepmind (AlphaFold story).
So maybe we are limiting ourselves a bit when we focus on the negatives cuz there seems to be hope for people who dream really big too!

Is Meditation a system change process ? Do people get transformed after meditating, say 100 hours ? How can we apply its ideas to other systems? Economic System perhaps ?

Interesting how my views changed on Sam Altman and Zuckerberg from being kind of a fan, trying to understand their ideas/talks .. to kind of disliking them now.

Agree that focus should be systemic change through collective action but broad ideas presented of switching to renewable energy, etc are bad solutions as an individual can do nothing more than sign a petition or protest. We need practical, viable, out-of-the-box, specific single solution.
Done with 'Net Zero Hero' narratives?
In my @uk.theconversation.com article, I discuss how big companies use personal responsibility to deflect attention from their role in driving #ClimateChange.
It’s time to hold them accountable.

You don’t have to be a net zero hero – how focus on personal climate action can distract from systemic problems
Shifting the blame for the climate crisis onto individuals hides the larger issue. True progress demands systemic accountability from governments and corporations.

Said it after last retreat too and saying it again 😄! Maybe I should dig into it myself. A PhD perhaps 🙈? #AI
Finished a 3 day vipassana meditation retreat and I think there is something in the meditation technique that can be applied to AI to unlock more of its potential l. #AGI

I like to describe meditation as machine unlearning. There’s a lot that modern AI research could probably learn from this ancient wisdom. One is just the opposite of other. #AI #Meditation #Vipassana #Unlearning
