  15. AI YOU CAN PUT DOWN 💎

    This TED talk by Scott Phoenix is well worth watching.

    I agree with his central point: the relationship between #human beings and #AI will become increasingly close. AI can extend our intelligence, perception, memory and #physical reach in ways we have barely begun to explore.

    In that sense, we are already merging.

    Where I part #company with the presentation is the idea that this merging must eventually mean physically integrating AI into the #brain tissue of every #healthy human #being.

    Why perform #surgery when increasingly seamless external devices can provide the same benefits while remaining removable, replaceable, freely chosen and far less invasive?

    A #wheelchair extends the body's range.

    A #telescope extends vision.

    A #smartphone extends memory and communication.

    A #robot avatar will extend our presence all the way to the Moon.

    None of these needs to become part of our flesh to become part of our real lives.

    I also do not think humanity is taking control of #evolution. We may gain more power to design our individual lives in the short term, but evolution has not stopped.

    Evolution is operating the #tools through us.

    So yes, I believe human beings and AI are merging functionally.

    But merging does not have to mean implantation.

    The most #intelligent technology may be tech we can still put down.

  17. IT’S ALL EVOLUTION:
    NOTHING UNNATURAL HAPPENED 💎

    We talk as though #nature created human beings, then human beings stepped outside nature and invented #technology.

    But where exactly does nature end?

    The #brain is natural.

    The thoughts arising in the brain are #natural.

    The #silicon and metals came from the #Earth.

    The tools created by that brain are natural as well.

    Technology is as natural as the #brain in which it was developed.

    We have not taken control of #evolution.

    Evolution is operating the tools through us.

    The stone axe, the #telescope, the wheelchair, #AI and the #robot avatar on the #Moon are all part of the same continuous evolutionary movement.

    That does not mean every invention is wise. Nature produces plenty of disastrous experiments.

    It simply means technology is not the opposite of nature.

    Nor do we need to put AI technology into every healthy brain. Better to use external devices that extend our senses, intelligence and presence while remaining removable and chosen.

    We are not stopping evolution.

    We are simply becoming able to design more of our own lives in the short term, while evolution continues.

    We never stepped outside nature.

    Nature grew a #hand.

    Then that hand picked up a #tool.

  21. No, the duct tape just happened to be there, I didn't need it. #Lego #Hubble #space #telescope

  22. Anyway, onto more important things.
    The new #Lego #NASA #Space #Ideas is out. It's the #Hubble #Telescope.
    So, once laundry is done, I'll be off to the store 😁

  23. This week on our #PopCulture of #microscopium and microscopes -- Jordan wished for "Microtelescopium" -- part microscope🔬 part telescope 🔭 .

    do we know how that would work?
    no.
    do we care?
    ALSO NO! 😂

  24. theguardian.com/science/2026/j. "Jodrell Bank Observatory, the hub of a world-leading network of #radio #telescopes, is facing closure after #Government #funding for the #facility was slashed. The deep #space #observatory includes the Grade I-listed Lovell #telescope & is prized by #astronomers who study #galaxies, #blackholes, #star formation, #planets beyond the solar system & the afterglow of the #BigBang."
