ChatGPT Nerd summary outline excerpts: The rookies are getting squeezed first. AI’s wings may be clipped for the inexperienced. AI’s impact isn’t quietly nibbling salaries—it’s knocking roles off the board entirely. When AI replaces rather than complements work, that's when the shockwaves are felt strongest. This isn’t a fluke in Silicon Valley or Zoom land—it’s a broader shift. (On the bright side, spotting the problem set allows the expert to solve it on the board: "And then a miracle occurs." Of course, the canary would be entry level in this one so, if that isn't chirping, it may have gone multimodal. See The Emotion Machine. But, just as the generative AI pioneers are trying economies that are off the screen, sort of crypto-codex, the next wave could be doing something like that on the ground in their regions. Not a disaster, but a sign of things to come, post-Capitalism. It's all been approved. Molon labe.)
What does it mean to understand language?
"Exportation: The process by which information delivered through language is transferred out of our core language system to one or more other brain regions for further processing."

(Of course, technology breaks the rules and then the science has to be found to figure out the cause. And that scales. Great for looking back at the sectors. Tough for looking ahead at Existentialism and the Future. The cloud would be who was saying Bring It. Franklin used to have small bells ring via energy when one was in proximity as a kind of echo of past drama. The moral algebra, incidentally, could use cloud representation by putting the plus/minus for one party on the left and the other on the right and then aligning common interests in between. Would be interesting at the Datacenters these days.)

A Research Agenda for the Economics of Transformative AI
(Or, once they can code, put them on economic methods and analysis. The work is the unfinished business, or problem set. Everyone else gets a management cap and jacket. The etymology of franchise followed freedom. One difference between the early sci-fi journals and now is that they thought time would proceed traditionally rather than tilt. Or maybe this is the key to the storm.)
Psychologically Enhanced AI Agents
(Part of a trend toward loading familiar mental models or, in some cases, falling back to behavioral theories. kind of a shrink review or regression after Eliza. Becomes interesting to either test new theories or discover hidden ones embedded in or emergent from the machine models. Again, though, some do not buy the universal or mind-over-matter arguments and expect embodiment to be unique. See who shows up at the beach.)

Capabilities of GPT-5 on Multimodal Medical Reasoning
Future of AI Technology
(ChatGPT responded to interrogation about Causal Diversity by positioning Minsky as a kind of cybernetic governance between Plato's Forms and Aristotle's Four Causes. Grok recognized that he drew from biology as interdisciplinary experts instead of pure imitation, also incentivized to get multiple grants, but notes that critics see computationalism as differing from hylomorphism. Both Chatbots seem to agree, at least on a first pass, that it was more about checks and balances or self-regulation and correction than ethics. Minsky also used personas, not unlike Kurzweil. Of course, the AIs are promoting agents to sell APIs and recoup investments. Stargate, on the other hand, is up against DeepSeek-type decentralization, not unlike AOL and MSN before the web. What is the protocol for Intelligence? Another interesting angle to state/society of mind might be how Benjamin Franklin goes from reconciliation as agent of England to revolution and American Intelligence.)

E.g. how they train officers if not StarGate Academy. Some day this trade will be normalized... Negative ghostrider, the paradigm is dead.
