🚨 If humans built hydrogen bombs within decades of inventing radio… What would an advanced post-biological intelligence do with a million years and a billion stars? 🧵 On Dyson Minds, cosmic computation, and the physics of galactic-scale intelligence. Why I’m co-hosting a

He’s the godfather of AI. Now, he has a bold new plan to keep us safe from it. My conversation with Yoshua Bengio: vox.com/future-perfect…

In this prescient 2017 piece, Susan Schneider outlines the AI Consciousness Test (ACT) and explores the limitations of language-based assessments for machine minds. A foundational read for anyone interested in evaluating consciousness in LLMs. 📄Read now: scientificamerican.com/blog/observati…

SFI’s Anthony Eagan reviews "The Philosophy of Ted Chiang." He praises it as a rare, thoughtful look at how Chiang’s sci-fi raises deep philosophical questions, not by design, but as a natural part of his creative process, exploring time, consciousness, and agency. Read the

Google DeepMind’s new AI agent cracks real-world problems better than humans can | MIT Technology Review technologyreview.com/2025/05/14/111…

As we enter the brave new world of OI we must consider sentience very carefully, for unlike our wild speculations about LLM sentience (misplaced, I believe), we already know certain biological systems are conscious!

My latest rant: Chatbots will lead to intellectual leveling: similar users go to same basin of attraction in the LLM. In Nautilus. nautil.us/ai-already-kno…

On US’s largest morning TV show today: it is crucial to prepare our students well for AI, but this does not mean GPT should write papers for them.

Can’t wait to speak at this amazing event in London!

Is AI “alive”? Ask yourself: does it satisfy NASA’s carefully conceived and influential definition— “Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution.” LLMs do not. Bio-computers, maybe. astrobiology.nasa.gov/research/life-…

"It wasn't just that if if there was a God there wouldn't be any evil at all it was that there wouldn't be the kind of evil that we see." Peter van Iwagen on the logical problem of evil: youtube.com/watch?v=4BIWlO…

New video drop: “Beyond Next-Token: Why Autoregression Might Run the Brain—​and the Universe.” LLMs show language is self-generating. I argue the same loop powers thought—and maybe reality itself. youtu.be/OftXY62-6HU

What binds experience into a unified mind, cells into bodies and symbols into meaning? I joined Captain Pleasure, Andrés Gómez Emilsson and Michael Levin to discuss cognitive glue, nonlinear optics, and the agency of informational patterns. Watch the video here: youtu.be/0BVM0UC28nY?si… Hosted by
