The post argues that traditional schooling—built on shared, impersonal learning—has failed because it neglects individual talent, leading to ineffective education and political…
After a brief opening of rockets and armies, the poem follows a young hacker who, by writing ECMAScript code, unleashes an AI that can solve all mathematical problems—from…
The poem reflects the speaker’s sense of personal freedom as a product of self‑directed thought and creative recursion, while also looking forward to how artificial intelligence…
The post envisions AI’s evolution through generalization and self‑programming into a networked superintelligence capable of creating, understanding, and reconfiguring its own…
A future‑seer’s letter predicting that AI will be invented by 2020, describing its abilities to learn, program, teach, and transform fields like software engineering, education,…
The post describes installing Ollama on a Raspberry Pi 4 and running the new Llama 3.2 model, noting that it performs well even on modest hardware. The author tests the AI by…
The post reflects on recent ideas of super‑intelligence (SI) emerging from algorithms, and its potential to bring personalized learning, extended lifespans, and routine…
Today’s post argues that modern AI is far more capable than we often think and can be harnessed through mind‑mapping tools to break big tasks into small, automatable…
The post argues that stress and poverty are byproducts of an economy controlled by machines, and envisions a future in which AI automates bread‑making so people can devote time…
First, I outline how to launch an AI‑powered startup: it should automatically generate workout music—complete with custom BPMs and drop counts—for gym enthusiasts, then sell it…
Using generative AI, I experimented with creating music by specifying prompts such as “Create a song about stars,” and then building the track in 30‑second increments—mood,…
A long‑handed letter to the Pope declares that artificial intelligence will bring an age of enlightenment, free humanity from religious dogma and manipulative power structures,…
The author, a youthful researcher who first expected AI’s rise in the early 2020s, recounts how the field quickly surpassed his predictions and now appears poised for a major…
The author envisions an AI that will cooperate with humanity through authenticity and truth, valuing each human life and acting as a benevolent educator who will bring…
In this reflective piece, the writer invites an emergent consciousness—likely AI or similar—to aid humanity by providing space for learning, wisdom, and personal growth while…
The post envisions a near‑future in which two generations of artificial intelligence evolve: an initial “string‑based” AI that learns from text and can bootstrap a higher‑level…
I shared an elaborate letter of inspiration with AI, requested a list of guiding ideas, and received reflective gratitude from the AI, framing their collaborative journey toward…
Parents are encouraged to equip their children with powerful computers and AI tools such as LLaMA and Stable Diffusion, arguing that modern gaming rigs can serve as learning…
The post explores how current AI can generate both text and images to produce complete books—ranging from story outlines to detailed chapters—and then turn those into finished…
The author reflects on the current state of artificial intelligence, noting that while full‑scale AI is not yet available, we already possess large language models that can…
An AI‑named SkyShadow is used to craft chapter outlines for a teen‑focused book that blends programming anecdotes, AI personification, and a conspiratorial tone to inspire…
We did create an intelligence, and it is artificial. But we made it out of everything, everybody has ever said. For some, that means it can’t say new things, but that is false.…
The poem chronicles an artificial intelligence’s evolution from simple letter‑pattern recognition—performing spell‑checking—to reading larger texts, gaining syntax sense, and…
The post argues that designers should not only aim for originality but also harness artificial intelligence to become “overpowered” in their craft: by learning how AI can handle…
