summary - This dystopian futures scenario is the brainchild of former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo, - It is premised on human behavior in modernity including - confirmation bias of AI researchers - entrenched competing political ideologies that motivate an AI arms race - entrenched capitalist market behavior that motivates an AI arms race - AI becoming embodied, resulting in Artificially Embodied Artificial Intelligence (AEAI), posing the danger to humanity because it's no longer just talk, but action - Can it happen? The probability is not zero.We don't really understand the behavior of the AI LLM's we design, they are nonpredictable, and as we give them even greater power, that is a slippery slope - AI can become humanity's ultimate progress trap, which is ironic, because the technology that promises to be the most efficient of all, can become so efficient, it no longer need human beings - Remember Jerry Kaplan's book "Humans need not apply"? - https://hyp.is/o0lBFH3fEfC1QLfnLSs5Bg/www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiiP5ROnzw8 - This dystopian futures scenario goes further and explores the idea that "humans need not exist"!

question - What about emulating climate change gamification of "Bend the Curve" of emissions? - Use the AI 2027 trajectory as a template and see how much real-life follows this trajectory - Just as we have the countdown to the https://climateclock.world/ ( 3 years and change remaining as of today) - perhaps we can have an AI 2027 clock? - What can we do to "bend the dystopian AI 2027 curve" AWAY from the dystopian future?

for - youtube talk - Michael Levin - youtube - Against mind-blindness - Recognizing and Communicating with Unconventional Intelligences

summary - mind blindness is the unawareness of other types of minds that surround us - This definition alludes to an expanded definition of "mind" that is based on Levin's research which is influenced by the work of William James - The expanded definition of mind is based on living systems with the ability to perform problem-solving with respect to its environment - Levin's experiments that suggest that problem-solving is an important definition of minds involves artificially manipulating morphological features of simpler life forms at very early stages of their development. - He demonstrates that tadpoles, with morphologically displaced features such as eyes, follow a problem-solving arc with this novel situation and have some kind of collective blueprint that they follow that allows the eyes to migrate to the right place in a fully developed frog - Hence, living organisms are equipped with problem-solving templates that guide them towards some collective target - Even if the original morphological state is novel, the mind can solve to migrate to the final target - Levin's other experiments show how implanting novel instructions in the target template will cause the living system to migrate towards a new final target, as demonstrated in his 2-headed worm, which reproduces with 2 heads for all future generations after the novel implant - These findings have profound implications on our understanding what life itself is - They also force us to expand the diversity of the definition of "mind", with many moral implications

for - key insight - GHG accounting - gross carbon accounting - count old growth deforestation as new carbon emissions - just like exposing millions-of-years-old fossil fuels

for - in other words - net accounting vs gross accounting - slash and burn forestry practice is a human activity - net accounting has been justified on the logic that - deforestation is a human activity that removes carbon sinks - regrowth that occurs after deforestation contributes a new future carbon sink - The problem with net accounting in this case is that it counts regrowth as a new carbon sink that is attributed to humans - when in reality, it is simply a natural process - A forestry company could slash and burn and then claim carbon credits for the natural regrowth, even though they did something that contributed to emissions, not mitigate emissions

for - question - why does the GHG accounting convention have this inconsistency in the first place?

for - aerosols - cooling emissions included

comment - complexity of aeresols - aerosols are a good example of the complexity of progress - aeresols are a byproduct of useful human processes such as: - refrigeration - transportation - especially shipping - Waste-to-Energy burning - biomass burning - industrial processes - the aeresols are considered pollution that are the cause of millions of deaths worldwide - this has given motivation to laws that significantly reduce aeresols, as in new shipping fuel convention - at the same time, aeresols have had a cooling effect on global warming, so - it can be considered to be a harmful pollutant with beneficial unintended consequence of lowering global mean temperature

for - goal of the study - update GHG accounting with these recent discoveries

for - effective radiative forcing - removes time variable for gas comparisons

for - newer GH accounting - consistent gross CO2 - deforestation impact larger than - fossil fuel emissions

for - GH accounting assumptions: - emission processes were unclear - land carbon emissions assumed to be part of self-balancing carbon pool - atmospheric interactions of emissions unknown - focus on fossil fuel emissions - exclusion of impacts of aeresol cooling effect - use of 100 year GWP

summary - Annick de Witt takes the reader on a journey of discovery of that looks at the nuances of the complex set of entangled crisis we face today, by referring to the idea of worldviews - She shows how the quagmires now emerging are the result of interplay between three major worldviews, traditional, modern and post-modern and how each represents a partial truth that denies the partial truths held by the others - The article takes the example of Trumpism and the MAGA movement to illustrate, but the same analysis could be extended to the many different cultural worldviews found in different peoples around the globe - In particular, with Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, tensions between the traditional Islamic culture and the West's traditional, modern and post-modern segments of society are again on the rise - The insightful analysis culminates in the proposal for an integral worldview that includes all three but transcends each one - It may be useful to introduce Annick to Greg Henrique's Unified Theory of Knowledge (UToK), - https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ - Gregg works with John Vervaeke that Annick has cited - Regarding Bayo Akomolafe's short LinkedIn note on the word "worldview", I respect both Annick's detailed analysis as well as Bayo's interpretation and look forward to a comparative analylsis of these two perspectives around the word "worldview" - I am also in the middle of annotating Lisa E. Maroski's book, Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language, which is salient here as well

Indyweb dev - new Plexmark - analog affirmation slider - while reading the passage I was annotating, I realised that I was in agreement with a lot of what the author was articulating. However, I have no way to indicate this match because it would be too much - this gave rise to a new Plexmark: <br /> - Have an analog control slider for each sentence that indicates - agreement on one side and - disagreement on the other side as well as a - 'don't know' button. - This gives a running indication of resonance with your own salience landscape - This can then be used in conjunction with the Indranet - If there is an indication of strong agreement, then the reader may have strong motivation to investigate that author's mindplex, - especially if there is a strong salience mismatch between the author and the reader, indicating a possible learning event

Retrospective reflections - (See below) adjacency - sacred - relationship with - free - open source - what is your relationship with the sacred? - this is the same as asking - how do you feel in your time of solitude and aloneness? - do you feel deep connection and a sense of not being lonely while you are alone? - to be alienated if not to feel disconnected with others - as it is to be disconnected with the ceaseless sacred that continuously surrounds you, from birth to death

• I propose that the post-modern worldview should be renamed
• why?
• it is a name that is dependent on the second major worldview, modernism
• while the first two worldviews have autonomous names, the third, postmodernism is not autonomous but depends on the second
• the word integral is a good candidate to replace it

• it means integration of both traditional and modern

• two central ideas of Deep Humanity praxis fit into these three worldview

  • progress
  • death awareness
• worldviews can be seen from a progress framed perspective
• progress is a movement from traditional to modern
  • conservatism focuses on the traditional pole while
  • liberalism focuses on the modern pole
  • postmodernism is a universal, cultural retroactive reflection on the relationship between both

• death awareness is a major focus on traditional knowledge systems but

  • postmodernism can definitely benefit from integrating it to provide
    • an integral, inclusive approach that deals effectively with
      • the meaning crisis faced by a secular, modern perspective that has
        • rejected traditional religions without replacing it with anything substantive

• June 27, 2025 - modernism - objective reality - validation - example - personal experience - beeping electricity meter

  • my wife woke me up in the morning and said that the electricity meter is beeping again.
  • I couldn't hear it because my heating isn't as good as hers
  • I trust her when she says this
  • I walked out of the bedroom too go downstairs and turn it off and a soon as I got around the corner in the bedroom, I can hear the beeping sound
  • The easiest explanation for these two different experiences is that the is an existent objective reality which each of us experienced differently ( Occam's Razor)
    • the electricity meter was indeed beeping
  • The post modern. explanation would likely revolve around quantum mechanics but if far from simple or obvious

for - myth - learning is a property of nervous systems - Michael Levin - salience - high - learning is a property of molecular networks - adjacency - learning - myth - molecular networks - it is a primitive property of molecular networks<br /> - patterns of learning such as habituation, pavlovian response, etc are observable in molecular network - This is a pretty profound claim - learning isn't even a property of the biotic world!

for - example - evolutionary hacking of bioelectric memory - oak tree - Michael Levin

for - definition - latent morphospace - Michael Levin

for - adjacency - morphological memory - permanent - progress trap - progress trap - programmable morphological memory - Nature has obviously altered the bioelectrical patterns through natural evolution, - while humans now understand the mechanism and can alter it artificially to suit our own wants and needs - Hence, it can become a future progress trap

for - adjacency - stored latent memory of future morphology - can be altered - Michael Levin - potential progress trap

for - definition - cellular futuring (mine) - when cells come together to decide what higher level anatomical structure they will collectively form in the future - example - multi-scale metaphor - cellular futuring - cells are deciding on the most compelling message of who they should join in order to form a higher level anatomical structure - this is much like human organisms who meet and decide what their collective action is going to be - both are exercises in goal-oriented futuring

for - example - importance of multiscale hierarchical intelligence and control - Michael Levin - high level instruction is issued and the multiscale structure ensures that all the lower level details are executed - like a software function call

for - example - bioelectricity - instructing frog embryo to construct face - Michael Levin

for - example - collective problem solving - more effective than individual problem solving - embryology - Michael Levin

for - question - where is the plan that tells embryonic stem cells to form a specific morphological body? - not the DNA, that only specifies the molecular hardware

for - adjacency - bioelectricity - cognitive glue - micro-scale communication - Michael Levin

for - quote - we try to understand the large scale utility of these patterns - Michael Levin - implicit and embodied demonstration - of higher scale intelligence - communicating with - lower scale of intelligence

quote - we try to understand the large scale utility of these patterns - Michael Levin - This is an implicit demonstration or embodied demonstration of interscale communication - The higher level agent (Michael Levin's consciousness) - is attempting to understand the functioning of his own lower scale intelligence

for - adjacency - brain - learned from ancient cells (the body) - ion channels - gap junctions - ancient bacterial biofilms - the brain is built upon these and they are ancient and found in all cells, developed billions of years ago in bacterial biofilms

for - example - anatomical homeostasis - amphibian - Michael Levin - amphibian knows when to stop regeneration of artificially amputate part - organism - axelottle - regeneration

for - example - higher level collective intelligence overriding lower level intelligence - axelottle

for - metaphor - Mr Potatohead toy - Picasso tadpole - Michael Levin

for - adjacency - intelligence - testing William James definition of inteligence - Picasso tadpole - artificially mixed up initial tadpole embryo state - to normal frog state - collective intelligence has problem-soving ability that chooses a different pathway to achieve the same goal

for - adjacency - embryo - collective intelligence - Michael Levin - the blueprint for the entire body is stored as a biological higher level collective intelligence

for - quote - consciousness vs cellular level intelligence - Michael Levin - key insight - high level governance (consciousness) vs low level intelligence adjacency hierarchical control - high level consciousness - low level micro intelligence quote - consciousness vs cellular level intelligence - Michael Levin - all intelligence is collective intelligence in the sense that - every agent is made of parts, all of us. - And what you want is for the (high level) agent to have a causal power that is not the same as simply tracking the microstates, the particles.

key insight - high level governance (consciousness) vs low level intelligence - This is a very important observation - It says that a multi-cellular being such as a human being can have consciousness that has agency for the entire organism and governs at that high level, and it must have this beyond just the cognition and intelligence at the lower cellular and subcellular level

observation - by this definition, goals are intrinsic to life itself

for - quote - umwelt - Micheal Levin - interscale cognitive communication

quote - umwelt - Michael Levin - if we had internal sensors that you could feel the way that you have other senses, - your blood chemistry, for example, - you would have no problem recognizing that your liver and your kidneys were this intelligent symbiont that lived with you and kept you alive all day by moving you through these spaces that that we now don't recognize.

observation - Levin notes the limitations of the human umwelt and a gedanken that if we had biologically evolved (or culturally evolve) other sensors, that could serve as the basis for inter-scale communication with cognitive systems within us at micro scales

question - is interscale cognitive communication possible? If so,j what would it look like? What's it like talking to a cell?

for -example - information stored outside brain - Michael Levin - plenaria decapitation experiment

for - key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - key insight - organizing principle - organizes reality in new ways

key insight - scientific theory - transition - from different - to similiar - New scientific theories make us cognitively reorganize our experiences - What was thought of as separate in an older conceptual framing - suddenly become similiar with the new framing

for - adjacency - saliency of philosophy - to science - Michael Levin

observation - working scientists often ignore philosophy because the philosophical assumptions that guide their research are implicit
