I used to think that "money is the root of all evil" til I realized that it's actually a vital language that ties the whole human species together into a single entity. It's how it's USED that can be evil, or not. I can use the language I speak or write to hurt you, or I can use it to collaborate with you. It's all in the intention.
A very nice shape to this piece. I enjoyed the journey. Thank you. I've read a book you collaborated on about music. And then some others you wrote about mind. I need to revisit the ones about mind as they were rich and complex, but that is precisely what I'm curious about. But I'm happy to find you are writing more and developing all these ideas continuously. It's like watching a tree grow but faster and more relatable. What are your thoughts on the authenticity of mind in this era of large language models?
Hello NyQuil Dystopia! :) Thank you for your kind comments.
Large language models aren't anything at all like minds. They're just old-fashioned data mining in fancy masquerade. The only AI that's like biological minds is analog AI, which isn't getting developed by humans yet. All the current "AI" (really just data mining) is digital.

I would agree, Alice!
