Looking at my degree plan to see where I'm at towards graduation. I'll either have to cram some extra credits in the next two semesters or I'll have to take some class next summer, but either way, I'll be graduating in 2026! 30 years after I graduated from high school.

Your Mind Doesn't Stop At Your Skull - thoughts on AI and mind augmentation. I first published this on Substack, but I'm cross-publishing on Paragraph because it's got such beautiful integration here on Farcaster.

Today's intellectual masochism inspired reading is Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation because I'm finally settling in to do a literature review for a personal portfolio essay I've been kicking around my mind for awhile now - The Personhood of Kermit: Towards a Metaphysics of Hyperreality. The whole concept got its seeds in the work I did in a semester of Anthropology of Religion where my study for the semester was on Jediism. I got an A on that paper.

I started my philosophy degree over 20 years ago, and returned to finish it last year. I've got just a couple semesters to go. Never, in all that time, has a professor told me that the style I have naturally developed for myself fits in a defined genre of non-fiction that blends memoir, analysis, and critique. You know who did? ChatGPT.

My current favorite source of dopamine is tossing bait at the anti-AI people on Threads. I got called sanctimonious and annoying in one. Delightful. Currently considering doing the same to chum the waters of the anti-blockchain people there 😅

HUGE decision on AI and copyright came down. Training AI on copyrighted material is fair use. Piracy is considered a separate issue. Which means that AI companies will be able to make deals with publishers - much like libraries do - to get discounted copies of copyrighted materials for training AI without worry about infringing on copyright because training is considered a transformative and fair use of the material.
