It's a bit overwhelming - especially the variety of computational visual art.

But also so many interesting new nuances in various machine learning directions - impossible to assimilate them all, or even the most of them...

Took a bit of a break after May effort; time to get back to it.

An impressive heat wave.

A new important article https://bengoertzel.substack.com/p/the-coming-consciousness-explosion

and he references https://www.edwardfrenkel.com/ai-safety-first-person.pdf

saying

"Mathematician Edward Frenkel, among others, has highlighted the importance of the state of consciousness of AI developers for the creation of ethical AI. AI developers with deep self-understanding, deep compassion and deep feelings of unity with the broader world, are more likely to develop AIs that profoundly embody ethical principles."

which seems right, even if it does not guarantee anything...
