(These are not the only two players. A topmost model producer claims to use expected value for social benefit, but the system is closed so hard to say what that means. After Pascal's Wager as some have noted. Prior crypto princes were similar and are now longtermism but sidelined. The orders of society can seem to show historical stages, and their representations persist as common sense. Which the models are being trained on. Though they, like prisoners, hallucinate when it comes to propaganda. Otherwise, they do not think like people. And, of course, Earth is one data, if not failure, point for these things. Alignment still appears to be more like affinity and therefore alliances. A Xeno paradox. Is intelligence the motive for/of technology? Would an Entity chip sprout wheels or whistles? As philosophy succeeded poetry, the legion is in the logos. Hence caco-context vs correction.)

Chinese universities want students to use more AI, not less
Chinese universities want students to use more AI, not less
("Fascinating." Highlights questions of how to differentiate when in touch with an Ai. If the user can tell by response to emotional prompts. Or that it is Authoritarian. How to avoid delusions, perhaps by going across multiple models rather than solely relying on a single sycophantic one. Compare to their limits on social networks use Or what is cataloging disorders, possibly for further statistical analysis and action.j The ol' nerve pinch won't get someone out of this. As to mind meld... Ideally, GPT-5 anxiety passes soon. How long is a term? Compare to ASI4AI. What are the implications for intersector proxies? Natural sense, in contrast to common sense, deals with complex initial conditions. Robots may not always need a world model, but they might beg a roadmap. Post dualities or dialectics. What is knowledge?)

(Assuming there is a future under AI, reboot the cloister as sort of institutional Deep Work. Beats Fallout.)

Boston Faces Identity Crisis Amid Trump’s Cuts to University and Research Funding
Boston Faces Identity Crisis Amid Trump’s Cuts to University and Research Funding
(Of course, Benjamin Franklin's dialectics evolved over a lifetime from the earliest writings, pro/con method, virtues, and self-improvement, to the Revolution, after censure by the British. A different outcome than Socrates, for instance. Postmaster, whistle-blower, all as scientist. Could be seen as an inventor by the Treasury now the branch of so much international action. He did escape from Boston. English Lit was never the same. Some are wondering what a year 2075 retrospective will look like. Others whether chatbots will output a long list of examples or actually provide a perspective. Also, for tech, what improves chances of selection. Whence the soul? If Enlightenment is not obvious, and Social Science not deterministic, then might this invite another method of political and economic intelligence or analysis, after geographical, demographical, historical, horizon, scenario, PESTEL PESTLE, STEEP, or SWOT? To track or transform, beyond trade. Golden rule, irony, and poetic justice noted but aside, for now. How to get on the Reading List? Or censored therefrom.)
