Daniel Dennett (1942-2024) (5/5)

the right words will come to you when you need them, and you will indeed be a better person. That, I propose, is the secret to spirituality, and it has nothing at all to do with believing in an immortal soul. (4/5)

Keeping that awestruck vision of the world ready to hand while dealing with the demands of daily living is no easy exercise, but it is definitely worth the effort, for if you can stay centered , and engaged , you will find the hard choices easier, (3/5)

beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things. (2/5)

If you can approach the world's complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, (1/5)

I want to build an AI agent that I am ok with giving to my children. It’s the same AI I want to build for myself. It will talk to me, join me, extend me. It will fit like a glove around my mind, and you will want one, too. It will allow you and me to interact so deeply that we become one. It is like us, just so much more so. Conscious, curious, loving, playing the longest game.

@dasnake @orangeek @Arypigliate No la mia classe era al primo piano lato mugnone. E si prendevano gli ordini in classe e poi uno andava a prenderle mi pare...

@jommee @orangeek @Arypigliate Ma la tua classe era lì vicino o è solo una distorsione dal fatto che ci si trovava sempre lì (e prima degli altri, ma perché? Come facevamo? Ricordo vagamente di chiedere di poter andare a comprare le schiacciate per tutti prima della calca. L'ho sognato?)

@dasnake @orangeek @Arypigliate Era entrando a destra, sulla strada per la palestra. Schiacchiatine al tonno o ai funghi le mie preferite. Con tanta maionese anni 80. E il barista ve lo ricordate?

@orangeek @Arypigliate Ad esempio ricordavo la parte delle schiacciate ma nebbia totale sulla parte bar e cassa. Nn trovo immagini nella memoria. Ricordo le due porte ma la stanza in sé è confusa, scura e piena di gente. E non ricordo dove fosse nell'edificio (vicino alla classe del @jommee ?).

Attorneys for the family had urged jurors to hand down a financial punishment that would put Infowars out of business. An economist hired by the plaintiffs testified that Jones and the company are worth up to $270 million. apne.ws/5Cu4XvK
