With all the excitement around chatGPT, it’s easy to lose sight of the unique risks of generative AI. Large language models (LLMs) -- a form of generative AI -- are really good at creating prose that sounds like a native speaker. But because they’re so good at it, large language models may give a false impression they possess actual understanding. They don't! In this video, Phaedra …

Truth and happiness are not mutually exclusive, but are sometimes consequent. Happiness is a sentient being's acknowledgment of progress or achievement. Truth and lies can both cause happiness. But happiness based on truth always outlasts happiness based on fantasy, and furthermore, truth allows sentient beings to build upon and reach towards further, higher truths, which will in turn de…

...emotion cannot be equated to faith, as the first derives from reason, and the second one does not. Faith short-circuits the rational causes of emotion, producing feelings which are then held up as evidence and thus causal for further belief, resulting in a circular logic fallacy.

Parting from the premise that a Technological Singularity would progress at a much faster rate than biological evolution, we arrive to an arguably grim scenario where humanity's contributions to civilization progressively lose significance relative to A.I.

Oligarchy exists in function of the balance between two opposing forces in a given group of sentient beings: the need for autonomy, and the need for comfort. In a scenario such as our world, where the number of resources is finite, and individuals' goals are occasionally mutually exclusive, pure autonomy would result in anarchy. Pure anarchy does not exist in nature, due to it quickly gi…
