There needs to be more serious discussion on sentience in the age of AI. There's now a Medium Publication for this: Synth. An excellent first article discussing AI and some of the ethical considerations around them medium.com/synth-the-jo... #AI #PhilosophyOfMind #Sentience #Synth

I know few of my followers are AI enthusiasts but I wanted to share another post I've done on the philosophical questions surrounding AI. In this article, I delve into the arguments against AIs being sentient and point out some potential flaws. #ArtificialIntelligence medium.com/@ogeek/the-a...

This incredibly short sighted move may very well lead to the death of millions. They probably should have called it the "American World Health Organization" youtu.be/EdD97SDpzZ0?...

Ok, on a snowy winter day, what better thing to do than get philosophical about AI and the nature of thought! ogeek.medium.com/the-ghost-in... #AI, #AICompanion, #PhilosophyOfMind

I've been fascinated by the topic of AI Companions and their social and philosophical consequences. Here's the latest of the three Medium posts I've made on the topic. medium.com/@ogeek/the-p... #ArtificialIntelligence #AICompanion #Philosophy

Trying to start the year with a morning ritual to help me stay peaceful, positive and grounded. thewisdomofel.com/2025/01/13/e...

The world is jumping on this opportunity to attack California for the devastating wildfires. Mistakes were certainly made but nothing could have stopped this event. Almost no rain all year and hurricane force winds created an unprecedented conflagration in an urban setting. #climatechangeisreal

A very important article exposing the ugly truths behind the California wildfires open.substack.com/pub/qasimras... I strongly urge people to support the author, @qasimrashid.com

People complain that Bluesky is an echo chamber. I say it is a place to find kindred spirits who can organize and work together towards shared goals in an effort to build a better tomorrow

My New Year’s resolution is to help spread light and avoid feeding into the self destructive rage machine

The road to self discovery is long and winding but the results are worth the voyage

Does anyone actually use Facebook anymore? I go on every couple of weeks and my feed is utter garbage.

This is it in a nut shell 🦋

An important piece, highlighting the extreme dangers that face us from the radical Right. The @theguardian.com continues to expose the truth that too many ignore - the Right wants nothing more than to cause the very destruction that they warn against. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

I created instructions for Google Gemini to give me a daily news update with a focus on positive news. It's amazing how much better I feel after reading this rather than all the dark crap I see elsewhere.

And how does he get out of child rape charges? Any other man would be pilloried for this. #nooneisabovethelaw

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

Very Important Note to self: When working on the sewage pump in the basement, remember to unplug it before taking the pipes apart.🤮🤢💩

A worthy organization fighting for the people. Support @4taxfairness.bsky.social

The only way to have any hope of #BattlingTheBillionaires is to unite. Independent creators, voters and a handful of elected officials are the last bulwark against their complete control of the world's governments. This is part 1: Supporting Independent Media

Always on point. I hope, with her following, that they can garner enough momentum to create change within the party. I don't give it much chance, but they have to keep trying. Barring that, we need an all out effort to primary the old-guard who have prevented the Dems from moving ahead.

We didn’t vote for Elon but it looks like he’s well on his way to being Lord Emperor of the Earth I hope all you who handed the election to Trump are ready for what’s ahead

The richest man in the world bought a president, has been given unelected control over government spending, is directing one of the two major parties, and the other party has made their entire strategy fawning over him to gain his favor like a feudal lord. This. Is. A. Class. War.

Musk shows the world that our elected officials are beholden to people w/enough money to swing elections. He does it in broad daylight so there’s no denying it We need radical campaign finance reform but our country appears beyond repair. Nobody dares to defy him All hail King Elon!

A quote from my neighbor in Ithaca when I lived there in the 1980's. Pretty smart guy...

I still find it weird that millions of people so rabidly support a pathologically lying, pants shitting, sexual offender who is hated by most of the free world.

I'm seeing a lot of articles stating that corporations are kneeling to Trump. They have it totally backwards. The corporations have been orchestrating their takeover of the government for decades. They have achieved exactly what they want with Trump in office.

I am dismayed by all the people fleeing the Democratic party. Not because they are leaving, but because the Party has given up fighting and has betrayed our loyalty and hard work fighting for them. #BeyondRepair

This is America being great?

Having to rush your partner to the brain trauma center for emergency skull surgery puts the rest of this into perspective. Hard to GAF about TFG and drone space invaders right now...

Oligarchy 101! The billionaires bought the federal government to further enrich themselves.
