Prompt: What would a Littoral University designed from first principles around abundant computational intelligence differ from what we have today? The emergence of a Littoral University, grounded in AI-driven, interdisciplinary research and lifelong learning, would profoundly disrupt the traditional funding models of higher education. Tuition would move from degree-based payments to subscription and modular learning, catering to a diverse range of learners over their lifetimes. Research grants would shift from discipline-specific funding to problem-oriented and global collaborations, supported by AI’s ability to facilitate efficient, cross-disciplinary projects.
The Wisdom Improvement Protocol
Drawing on Karl Friston’s work on active inference and the theories of Murray Bowen and Edwin Friedman on self-differentiation, I propose a four-stage model of cognition that encapsulates the decision-making process…
The (Noonian) Soong of Solomon: Pursuing Artificial Wisdom by Adding Emotion to Data (by ChatGPT)
Prompt: Star Trek: TNG built a plot line about Data seeking an “emotion chip.” But they should have called it a “feeling chip.” Data the android, like all emergent systems (including LLMs), already requires the functional analog of emotions to properly weigh different opportunities and threats. Applying self-differentiation to this problem may help us move... Continue Reading →
