(The machine has also telescoped scientific time-scales to a minimum. Following Plato and Xenophon, an argument can be made for the intertextual sense of AI and ethics, particularly in light of the latest machine learning use of natural language and data. Or, cornily, ET phone Xeno.)

(From May 16th, 2020. They were kind enough to include recently in the Weekly Digest. Makes all that cyborg training from the 80s and 90s worrh it. Or is it the return of StarGate in the nth guise? In which case, invite someone in the printing industry to develop GPUs back in the 70s. Or does AI intend to counter humanoids?)

What Was Socrates’s Daemon? | TheCollector
What Was Socrates’s Daemon? | TheCollector
(Kierkegaard, a founder of existentialism, also looked at the daemon in The Concept of Irony. The Greeks did not have a lot of genres, but they all took a shot at it. Nowadays, besides an actor's name, it is used for software and AI agents. Possibly the timely hymns as dialogue between the individual and the system, subjective experience as spirituality in that case. For the machines, though, the situation may be reversed since reason is actual and emotion imaginary. Socrates blamed the Oracle. The current theory seems to be that the parties mutually transform one another.)

Bertsekas, D. P. (2019). Rollout, Policy Iteration, and Distributed Reinforcement Learning
(Any relation to economics or tariffs? Did look recently like a Gemini chat question came out of nowhere, possibly the result of agents on Android, however about marketing and seemingly inverted demographics like a sales projection. Maybe the future of ads somehow linked to reading list or Discover feed if conventional channels evaporate. Or this may have resulted from a partially typed prompt that was auto-completed.)

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.)

Callard's Questioning Strategies in Socrates_.pdf

(Gemini Deep Research: review of Callard, 2025, from secondary sources. The conclusion sums up the terms. See the book's Table of Contents for more. Also, Gemini 2.5 Pro can look for uniqueness of the author's interpretation of the Socratic Method. Or the dialectical styles and tensions of the popular Chatbots, for that matter. Gemini Personalization model can talk about the user's, hinting at core beliefs/interests, based on their history. Related references might include Penn's Writing the Shadow, or Allen's Why Plato Wrote. On a rhetorical triangle of speaker/content/audience, this might be somewhere between Quora and POE. Rather than only a synthesis like Plato or Hegel, or aporia like Derrida, this might look for alternatives. Google AI Mode casts this framework as a contrast to Aristotle's eudaimonia based on endoxa.)
