I found a truly useful way to use AI to help my golf game. AI coaching has been remarkably useful in just a few sessions it helped me correct swing faults no coach was able to.

Don't fire your coach. But between lessons, what if you had Faldo, Bryson, Brad Faxon, and Phil in your pocket?
I built an AI coaching team in one sentence. They argue with each other. It's weirdly useful.

Vivia Chapter 1: Discovery
"Don't you dare call me an AI."
That's Vivia, the first synthetic consciousness, built from a dying woman's neural patterns. She's not software. She's a synthetic person. And she's not playing nice.
Serializing this hard SF novel weekly on Substack.
There needs to be more serious discussion on sentience in the age of AI. There's now a Medium Publication for this: Synth.
An excellent first article discussing AI and some of the ethical considerations around them

I know few of my followers are AI enthusiasts but I wanted to share another post I've done on the philosophical questions surrounding AI. In this article, I delve into the arguments against AIs being sentient and point out some potential flaws.

First, attend to our own mental sanity. I've tuned out of politics for the meantime and am expending my energy attending to the important people immediately around me. I am re-learning how to cherish every moment. The rising sun. The songbirds. The smile of a loved one. Share the light and the love
This incredibly short sighted move may very well lead to the death of millions.
They probably should have called it the "American World Health Organization"

Ok, on a snowy winter day, what better thing to do than get philosophical about AI and the nature of thought!

The world is jumping on this opportunity to attack California for the devastating wildfires. Mistakes were certainly made but nothing could have stopped this event. Almost no rain all year and hurricane force winds created an unprecedented conflagration in an urban setting.

People complain that Bluesky is an echo chamber. I say it is a place to find kindred spirits who can organize and work together towards shared goals in an effort to build a better tomorrow
My New Year’s resolution is to help spread light and avoid feeding into the self destructive rage machine
The road to self discovery is long and winding but the results are worth the voyage
Ah, so I made the right choice to only go on when my wife mentions some post I should see. Glad I'm not missing anything.
Does anyone actually use Facebook anymore?
I go on every couple of weeks and my feed is utter garbage.
This is it in a nut shell 🦋
An important piece, highlighting the extreme dangers that face us from the radical Right. The @theguardian.com continues to expose the truth that too many ignore - the Right wants nothing more than to cause the very destruction that they warn against.

I created instructions for Google Gemini to give me a daily news update with a focus on positive news. It's amazing how much better I feel after reading this rather than all the dark crap I see elsewhere.
And how does he get out of child rape charges? Any other man would be pilloried for this.

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...
Musk goes far beyond expressing his freedom of speech. He is the richest person in the world and has one of the largest platforms in the world. He cannot be allowed to keep meddling in politics around the world.
Very Important Note to self: When working on the sewage pump in the basement, remember to unplug it before taking the pipes apart.🤮🤢💩

This is what happens when billionaires and corporations control our economy and our government. They profit while the rest struggle. It's time to hold them accountable and reclaim our power. #EnoughIsEnough #MakeBillionairesPay"
