Most Addictions
/Most addictions are a result of a lack of connectedness and shame. – Paul Myer
Do you understand a thing or only its definition?
/We take other men’s knowledge and opinions upon trust; which is an idle and superficial learning. We must make them our own. We are just like a man who, needing fire, went to a neighbor’s house to fetch it, and finding a very good one there, sat down to warm himself without remembering to carry any back home. What good does it do us to have our belly full of meat if it is not digested, if it is not transformed into us, if it does not nourish and support us?
Montaigne (born Feb 28, 1533)

Leaders stretch people
/Leaders stretch people by taking people out of their comfort zone but never out of their gift zone. -John Maxwell
Dependent on AI
/New research, which hasn’t yet been published, suggests that young people who grow dependent on AI may lose faith in their abilities without it. “These kids started believing less in themselves,” a professor of education at Stanford University said. - Washington Post
AI Definitions: Symbolic Artificial Intelligence
/Symbolic Artificial Intelligence – This is where programmers meticulously define the rules that specify the behavior they want from an intelligent system. It works well when the environment is predictable, and the rules are clear-cut. Researchers believed that if they programmed enough rules and logic into computers, they could create machines capable of human-like reasoning. This was the dominant area of research for most of AI’s history until artificial neural networks became central to most of the recent AI developments. Although symbolic AI has lost its luster, most of the applications we use today depend on rule-based systems. An alternative approach to AI is machine learning. Some researchers believe the future of AI lies in a hybrid combination of these two approaches.
What an AI executive tells her kids about the jobs of the future
/I tell my kids, play around, try things out. People need to know how to use an AI model, but not necessarily build it. Metacognitive skills will be very important—flexibility, adaptability, experimentation, thinking critically, being able to challenge things. Developing critical-thinking skills requires friction, doing things that are hard, doing deep thinking. For that, a traditional liberal-arts education is really important. Passing judgment, being accountable and responsible for decisions that impact people and society, that’s foundationally important. -Daniela Amodei, President and co-founder, Anthropic quoted in the Wall Street Journal

Optimists live longer
/Here’s a good reason to turn that frown upside down: Optimistic people live as much as 15% longer than pessimists, according to a study spanning thousands of people and 3 decades. After controlling for health conditions, behaviors like diet and exercise, and other demographic information, the scientists were able to show that the most optimistic women (top 25%) lived an average of 14.9% longer than their more pessimistic peers. For the men the results were a bit less dramatic: The most optimistic of the bunch lived 10.9% longer than their peers, on average, the team reports today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
David Shultz writing in Science Magazine
Being Bored Out of Your Mind Makes You More Creative
/Boredom might spark creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation. Maybe traversing an expanse of tedium creates a sort of cognitive forward motion. “Boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Texas A&M University psychologist Heather Lench. “What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So you’re seeking, you’re engaged.” A bored mind moves into a “daydreaming” state, says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire who ran the experiment with the cups. Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some weird, fun game to play—with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.
The problem, the psychologists worry, is that these days we don’t wrestle with these slow moments. We eliminate them. “We try to extinguish every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Sandi Mann, psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking that can come from staring down the doldrums. Noodling on your phone is “like eating junk food,” she says.
So here’s an idea: Instead of always fleeing boredom, lean into it. Sometimes, anyway.

18 AI Dangers
/AI Companions - Inappropriate dependance on AI, AI control over humans, weakening of human relationships, pornography, suicides, AI delusions, mental health care, human dignity.
AI Divide - Greater inequality, the distance between those who have access to powerful AI & those who don’t.
Bias - AI can reflect societal prejudices and stereotypes, obscuring underrepresented and marginalized populations.
Criminals & Crime - Using AI to commit crimes such as cyberattacks, fraud and child pornography.
Copyright – AI may be trained on copyrighted works and reproduce copyrighted material without permission.
Deep Fakes - Cyberbullying, nonconsensual pornographic images & video.

Environmental Concerns - Energy consumption, high water usage, and electronic waste.
False information - Hallucinations can lead to fearmongering, fake news, poor health advice, corrupted learning tools for children, historical misinformation, and false criminal accusations.
Human Labor – Exploitation of workers, human trafficking.
Knowledge Collapse – AI models run out of fresh data, resulting in a feedback loop — dominant ideas are amplified while less widely held or new viewpoints are minimized.
Out of Control AI - Bullying humans, taking action against humans (particularly actions outside of what the AI was designed to do), and AI uprising where bots attempt to gain control outside of human direction.
Politics - Influencing elections, creating or magnifying international conflict.
Privacy & Security - Facial recognition false arrests, malware, social media, data on children, using AI to hack databases, steal passwords, and personal information has the potential to be shared with third parties.
Religion - Cultlike dependence on AI, allowing outsized control, treating AI like a Magic 8 Ball, worshipping AI.
Science - AI Slop may erode scientific progress.
Slop – Low-grade AI content can clog email, social media and the internet. Also, work slop.
Weapons & War - Drones, satellites, biological weapons.
Signs of Endings
/Endings and losses are the commonest first sign that people are in transition. These endings tend to be signaled by one of several experiences:
A sudden and unexpected event that destroys the old life that made you feel like yourself
The “drying up” of a situation or a relationship
An activity that has always gone well before, suddenly and unexpectedly goes badly
A person or an organization that you have always trusted proves it be untrustworthy
An inexplicable or unforeseen problem crops up

By contrast, when researchers entered the full medical scenario directly into the chatbots, they correctly diagnosed the problem 94 percent of the time." -New York Times
