The problem of the now and the hard problem are the same. Both are about something physics leaves out of its description, the present & the qualitative, which are left out for the same reason: physics describes relations between events and says nothing about what it is to be one

The irony in this, is that those with legitimate concerns about the direction of AI believe that opting out of shaping its direction is somehow empowering. In reality it's the total opposite, willing disempowerment under the guise of piety.
You are underestimating how much people out there hate AI I was at a wedding this weekend and the consensus take among people I met was that using AI for anything is morally wrong and generally inexcusable Guess I’m living in a bubble bc I was shocked…?

Having a conversation yesterday and learned a lot of Bay Area organizers are sitting out on AI. Energy cost, concentrated ownership, a feeling that it’s spiritually corrosive. I share the values and disagree on strategy. Abstention doesn’t slow capture down, it hands it over.

Mathematics is selectively real, powerful precisely because it strips out time, and therefore no guide to what is ultimately real.

Growing up, my Dad would answer my questions w/ Encyclopedia and instructions to look it up. A turnoff for a young, inquiring mind. This morning daughter asked me about black holes, so I created an interactive model highlighting the impact mass has on curved space in 5 mins.

She immediately dove in and could see the impacts of increasing the mass of a black hole as it related to the aim and tilt of the photons passing by it. Frictionless depth that's fun to engage with, the future of education is bright for those willing to create it.

At @thespiritdao our IRL event QR codes had a flaw: the signature was a scrambled copy of public values, so anyone could recompute one. Now they're server-signed and verified on every scan: sig, expiry, event, and registration. paragraph.com/@spiritdao/fou…

what is the best method for raising capital for crypto related/adjacent projects presently? @thespiritdao represents what is probably one of the most robust, accountable community ecosystems, with a deep crypto infra that's virtually invisible. the ideal DAO infra.

Several fixes in our last three @thespiritdao newsletters started with a member saying "this button does nothing." If something looks wrong, we love it when members share in the forum. We'd rather tell you what the app enforces than what we meant it to! paragraph.com/@spiritdao/enf…

This week @thespiritdao every place the app touches money or authority checks the chain first. Payments can't exceed escrow or go to the wrong worker. Pod deletion needs several leaders, enforced in the database. read more: paragraph.com/@spiritdao/enf…

If you need becoming to explain the appearance of becoming, becoming is fundamental.
