Feeling like we're living in the backstory of a sci-fi dystopia? Gary Marcus, one of AI's most respected skeptics, offers a grounded guide. Join him & host Brian Gallagher to understand AI's actual capabilities vs. the industry's narrative. Gain clarity. interintellect.com/salons/marcus-…

There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot that logically follows from the claim that: the arguments for God are unpersuasive. So what are you talking about?

TOMORROW✨ Feeling curious or concerned about AI? This is the skeptic's guide you've been looking for. Last chance to join Gary Marcus & host Brian Gallagher for a grounded, hype-free conversation about AI's actual capabilities vs. the industry narrative. interintellect.com/salons/marcus-…

If animals, even the most rudimentary, were not able to do this on some level, they would not be around today. “Rational” thought is super widespread if you understand it in its ecological context.

Really? What could the man have done to deserve this? His colleagues should congregate around some HR person’s office to protest

Then what is the third sex? I’ll wait.

If you're 13 right now here's what you should do: Spend all your time reading philosophy, sci fi, poetry, and history. Go to museums and look at every damn thing in there. Watch all the classic films and maybe every single movie made in the 90s. Learn how to write prose,
