Scientists have been puzzling over a fossil called Pikaia for decades. Is this 508-million-year-old creature our pre-vertebrate cousin? Now researchers say the confusion came from how we looked it it. We've had Pikaia upside down the whole time. 🧪 Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/06/11/s...

Wow. I read this this morning for nostalgia–it describes vividly what it's like to intersect with Dennett's life. But the best part is when the author describes how/why he switched from Chalmers' to Dennett's perspective on the "hard problem" of consciousness. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

You know how if you spin on a chair and stick your arms out, the chair spins slower? The chair is earth and the arms are ice melting at the poles and moving to the equator. Earth is getting slower. Days are getting longer.

A report from the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence and recent comments by DNI Avril Haines suggest a potential change in thinking about commercially available information and its use in law enforcement and intelligence. But can a new understanding propagate to agencies?

I have new paper "Simulacra as Conscious Exotica" on @arxiv on #consciousness in #AI and large language models (LLMs):
arxiv.org/abs/2402.12422
I'm sending it out into the world with some trepidation; it's such a difficult and controversial issue.
