Let’s begin with an analogy: If you were tasked with digging a tunnel through a mountain — not just a hole, but a usable, engineered passage for trains, electrical systems, and people — would you pick up a chisel?… Read More “Don’t Use a Chisel to Dig Through a Mountain – A New Model for Enterprise AI Strategy”
I’m have been thinking about the topic of compassion and “Love Thy Neighbor” and kindness towards those who are less fortunate.
This seems to be lacking in our society and political leadership.
Everyone has some level of compassion – I think this is in fact even more important than higher intelligence as what differentiates humans from other animals.… Read More “Understanding Compassion in a Digital World”
I sing from my perch in the twilight air,
A song of warning, a song of care.
The wind is thick with a gathering tide,
And shadows lengthen where light once shined.
Once, my voice was soft and bright,
A melody spun in golden light.… Read More “The Song of the Canary”
What ordinary people have no clue about is the rise of military-grade state-sponsored “social influencing” operations on social media right now.

Followiing on my previous book, The Golden Bridge (a work in progress), I’ve excerpted and further developed, the physics and math section (Book Six: The Science of Alpha).
This provides a formal mathematical model of the theory, proposing that the universe is fundamentally information, but that consciousness is not, and is integrated with it using a novel posited topological mechanism.… Read More “Alpha Theory: The Transiad Model of Reality”
For many decades I have been working on a new Theory of Everything (TOE) – and in particular a theory of consciousness – which unifies mathematics, the physical sciences, cognitive science, computer science, metaphysics, and spirituality. I call this the Theory of Alpha, or Alpha Theory, and it’s written up here in my draft manuscript,The Golden Bridge: Treatise on the Primordial Reality of Alpha, attached to this post.… Read More “The Golden Bridge: Treatise on the Primordial Reality of Alpha”

I’ve built an Automated Fact Checker Assistant that is working quite well.
It’s a GPT that does detailed analysis of any content (text you write, paste in, a file or link), to check each fact for accuracy.
It locates sources, checks them and analyzes the results, and generates a bibliography with citations for each fact, and then gives you a downloadable report.… Read More “A Powerful AI Fact-Checker that Checks Content and Eliminates Hallucinations”
I have developed a way to supercharge ChatGPT.
It’s called Nova Mode and it’s an awesome custom instruction that you can paste into your ChatGPT Custom instructions (see screenshot below) in ChatGPT Settings.
This modifies how ChatGPT works in all your chats, giving you much more control over how you interact with ChatGPT.… Read More “Nova Mode: The Ultimate ChatGPT Custom Instruction”
This article focuses on a potential approach for advancing AI capabilities via dynamic parameter adjustment of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4. This approach is central to making AI more adept at handling a wide range of tasks, focusing on two key elements: the dynamic adjustment of parameters and the enhancement of sampling methods.… Read More “Supercharging AI Task Performance with Dynamic Parameter Adjustments”
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is taking an intriguing turn with the concept of higher-order AI systems trained on the network of first-order AIs. This approach aims to transcend traditional token-by-token generation, focusing instead on generating tokens that lead to the best possible outcomes.… Read More “Exploring Higher-Order AI: Training on First-Order AI Networks for Optimal Path Outcomes”
The evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has surpassed mere computation and data processing, leading to the emergence of distinct levels of AI sophistication.

Historically, humans have always striven to extend their capabilities using various tools. The horse, one of the earliest and most profound of these tools, revolutionized transportation, agriculture, warfare, commerce and communication. Its domestication, dating back to around 5000 B.C., marked a monumental shift in human progress.… Read More “The Horse and Rider Paradigm for the Age of AI”

I would like to propose a new way of thinking about communities and how they are evolving, with the advent of AI and Large Language Models (LLM’s).
Previously I have written about how group minds are emerging, facilitated by LLMs. Here I will delve a little further into how we can look at types of communities on a spectrum, where the final stage is communities of intelligence, which we are entering now.… Read More “Communities of Intelligence”
It’s very interesting to realize that we are the last generation – the last voices – of the pre-AI era on this planet.
What should we do differently, if anything, knowing this?
Tool-use was one of the defining characteristics of Homo Sapiens. Ironically it may also be the thing that leads to our obsolescence.
In the first phase of the IT revolution, from the invention of computers up through the Web, computers worked for humans – as tools – and humans maintained the computers.… Read More “Nature Red in Reads and Writes”
