Episode notes
Derivative Intelligence
- Jonathan Pageau questions if humans can create non-derivative intelligence.
- He argues all creations reflect human consciousness, possibly becoming power tools or parasitic on our minds due to an ontological hierarchy of agency.
AI Counselors
- Pageau's daughter received a government email promoting AI counselors.
- This exemplifies the premature elevation of AI and the human tendency to worship what we create, unknowingly empowering corporations.
Being vs. Acting Intelligently
- David Schindler questions the term 'artificial intelligence,' suggesting intelligence requires caring.
- He differentiates between intelligent behavior and true intelligence, emphasizing intelligence as a way of being, similar to life itself.
