Attention! Well now I have it, Graham's work is vital. Attention is existential. #attentioneconomy #ai www.artificiality.world/d-graham-bur...

This is so incredibly cool. And a really fab robot use case to boot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOUh...

This is important research. If you’re confused about apparent contradictions in the AI adoption story a lot is explained by what people expect it to do to livelihoods, opportunity and purpose. #humanexperience #genai #artificiality www.pewresearch.org/social-trend...

What end of this spectrum are you closer to? Scale of 0 to 100: 0 - AI is “just math” 100 - AI is alive What does it mean that information -> computation -> intelligence -> agency -> consciousness and even life? #ai #humanexperience www.artificiality.world/the-artifici...

How do real life copilots feel about every ai being called a copilot

Brilliant. Just crazy good. “Indeed, history suggests that greater awareness of the winner/loser dynamic can play out in opposite ways, and it’s not hard to imagine the mood switching from seeing today’s billionaires as genius titans to seeing them as clever thieves.” geoffmulgan.substack.com

Literally going mad at the AGI/ASI/UGI stuff atm. A salient reminder from history plus comments on what's at stake as we humans build what could well be our replacement. There's another way to think about AI and we simply must change the AGI conversation. #ai www.artificiality.world/agi-is-a-red...

This chart is stunning, but what’s on the y-axis here doesn’t reflect the complexity of the human experience. The exponential leap in AI capabilities might look like progress, but is it progress for us? How can humans can keep up, adapt, and shape what comes next? #ai #openai #artificiality

Doyne Farmer’s new book on the subject of complexity and economics is a must read for anyone interested in better prediction and modeling in a chaotic world. Take a listen and grab a copy. #sfi #oxforduniversity #complexity #chaos #economics www.artificiality.world/doyne-farmer...

The three #bestbooks I read in 2024. Life As No One Knows It by Sara Imari Walker. How Life Works by Philip Ball. Living On Earth by Peter Godfrey-Smith. All #life, no #AI. One of the best ways to think about AI is to think about life instead. Happy 2025, looking forward to more great #reading

If life is computational what does it mean for our experience in an AI world? That’s what I spend all my time considering. www.artificiality.world/what-ai-and-...

Is the only way to really enjoy Vision Pro to be lying on your back “looking” at the ceiling? It will no doubt get lighter. Or my neck will get stronger.
