It all started with a bang. Somewhere along the way, matter became life. Life became conscious and consciousness started creating. The last and most disruptive in our line of creations is AI. Since its birth, we have been confronted with countless questions about ourselves and our nature as creators....

AI Validates the Truth of Buddhism | Philosophy x AI In this interview, Imperial’s Murray Shanahan Murray Shanahan lays out a systematic procedure to validate machine consciousness. You might think the question of whether AIs are conscious is a trivial, theoretical fancy with no use in the real world. This interview will show you why it’s one of the most important questions with practical implications for not just how we treat AI systems but also how we build and align them. But the most unexpected reward of investigating AI consciousness turns out to be what it reveals about our consciousness, about the nature of the human self. Murray’s most interesting claim is that LLMs have an important buddhist lesson to teach all of us, namely, that there is no “us.” By better understanding the "no-self" of LLMs we are given a mirror to reflect on whether human selves are also an illusion. Timestamps: 08:26 Why Buddhist Enlightenment May be Easier for Software Programs 16:30 Super-Intelligent AI Might Not Want To Take Over the World 30:25 Wittgenstein’s Radical Take on Consciousness 42:55 What Video Games Teach Us About Consciousness 49:59 How the Movie Ex Machina Created a Better Test for AI Consciousness 1:02:36 What the Debate about AI Consciousness Is Missing 1:09:31 Does Conscious AI Have A Moral Right to Live? 1:15:01 Is the Human Brain Computationally Superior to AI? 1:26:59 Why Philosophy Is the Essential Skill for the AI Age

🪐 WORLD CREATORS Generative AI opened the door for everyone to tell their stories without the need for a crew or a big budget. We started slowly with images and saw an enormous interest in tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, or Leonardo. Now, a bit more than a year later, we find ourselves in front of new technologies that are transforming our way of life, how we create, and how we consume content. ChatGPT is rapidly replacing Googling, and all the generative AI tools are replacing all the stock photos and videos, with tools like Runway enabling storytelling for everyone. And we won't take over Hollywood. We will surpass it in ways we can't even imagine right now. We'll be able to create worlds and stories beyond our wildest imagination. Generative AI is enabling creative people to go 1000x on what was possible before. At the core of everything we'll still need human creativity, and we have to understand that AI tools without it will be nothing. Until then, enjoy a short video I've put together to illustrate a small fraction of the worlds we will create soon. What worlds and stories are you excited to create?

The most interesting thing I've heard in a long time: Can AI ever be conscious? Ilya Sutskever Ilya Sutskever, co-founder at OpenAI, explained a simple experiment for AI consciousness. We carefully curate the data such that we never mention anything about consciousness...we would only give the AI controlled data about surface-level experiences and mundane objects. At some point, we would tell AI about the concept of consciousness. If the AI agrees and says it's been experiencing the same thing or recognizes the experience, then it would be convincing. Do you think AI can be conscious? If, so what is a good test for it? Is something like John Searle's Chinese Room argument sufficient?

David Chalmers on the one thing science can't explain: Consciousness is at once the most familiar thing in the world and the one science has almost nothing to say about. That's the puzzle Chalmers lays out in this early interview, and it's as disorienting today as it was then. His starting point is deceptively simple. Everything we know about the external world: subatomic particles, distant stars, the chemistry of life. We know through consciousness. It's the very first thing we have. And yet when we turn science around and try to explain consciousness itself, we hit a wall. "Consciousness is what we start with when it comes to knowing the world and looking out at the world… everything else is secondary." What makes this so strange is the asymmetry. We've made extraordinary progress understanding things that are genuinely remote and difficult quantum mechanics, stellar evolution, molecular biology. But understanding our own inner experience? Almost nothing. "It almost sticks out like a sore thumb in the scientific picture." This is what Chalmers would later formalise as the "hard problem of consciousness": not just explaining how the brain processes information or controls behaviour. Those are hard, but tractable. The real mystery is why any of that physical activity is accompanied by experience at all. Why is there something it feels like to be you? The question isn't abstract. It sits at the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, physics, and AI. As we build systems that process language and reason about the world, the question of whether they are or could be conscious presses harder than ever. Chalmers doesn't offer an answer here. Only the sharpest possible version of the question.

Are We In a Simulation? Well, it does work as if we are. So for all intents and purposes you should adopt this mentality! Life responds to you, primarily your thoughts, beliefs, energy and actions. Whether or not there's a giant computer doesn't matter; simulation can simply be an allegory for how this reality operates. As such, we can work with this simulation to create the reality that we desire, and improve our lives. Becoming conscious is the goal.

ELON: WE’RE DESCENDANTS OF STARS – BUT HOW DID WE BECOME CONSCIOUS? “I've thought a lot about what is consciousness. Where does consciousness arise? If you start at the beginning of the universe, assuming the standard model of physics is true, then you have this Big Bang, the matter condensing into stars, those stars exploding. A lot of the atoms that are in your body right now were once at the center of stars. Those stars exploded, recondensed. Fast forward 13.8 billion years, and here we are. And somewhere along that very long journey to us, consciousness arose. Or the molecules started talking to each other. And it begs the question of what is consciousness? Is everything conscious? Maybe. It's hard to say where along that line, there's no sort of discrete point where consciousness didn't exist and then suddenly does exist. It seems to be, maybe you have a condensation of matter that has a density of consciousness, we don't know. The real answer is, we don't know what consciousness is. But with Neuralink and the progress that the company's making, we'll begin to understand a lot more about consciousness.” Source: Neuralink Update, June 2025

We need to ask ourselves an important question about our AI future. What happens to the human soul if we outsource basic functions - like friendship, creativity and problem solving - to machines? The answer shouldn't just be left to industry. It needs to involve all of us.

Shuler: If you think about every industrial revolution we’ve been through, working people have helped us make that transition. It’s really because we’ve helped tame the technology and figured out how to use it in the most effective way. So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers, to put people out on the street with no path forward, then absolutely you’re going to have a revolution. So I think that’s something we all need to be very real about and think seriously about. If we’re going to have productivity gains, working people—the ones who make these industries happen—need to share in that. There hasn’t been a lot of discussion about that here. Of course, in terms of how we create policies, how we create tax infrastructure, whether or not we are redistributing—yes, that word is a dirty word around here—we need to talk about it and confront how we’re going to make sure working people share in the gains of these technologies. And if you look at the numbers of jobs, let’s talk about job quality. Yes, maybe there are a lot of jobs created, but what kind of jobs are we talking about? Are they jobs that can sustain a family? Is it a job where people can actually work one job? One job should be enough.

Asked by Ben Smith about how he views the politics of AI and the data center build out, Governor Josh Shapiro says: "AI is being developed. The real question is, is it going to be developed here in the US or in communist China? My view is that all of us should want it developed in the US. The US should lead on this. This is a national security issue. I think this is an issue that threatens our freedom if we allow China to overtake us when it comes to AI development."

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li says AI must change how we teach and evaluate students: "AI must change learning. AI must change K-16 learning." "The most precious resource of our entire world is human capital." "When we have gotten the technology that can answer standardized tests... when AI can do better than an average human, it's not about humans are bad. It's about we need to change the education system." "We need to change how we evaluate. We need to change the way we empower teachers to educate the next generation of students where they can use these tools, be empowered, and do things that we can never imagine." "All of the kids today should not be scared of AI. They should feel the human agency to lead AI, to use AI in the right way, and to use AI to make the impact that they want to make for the world."

Punjab also, Excellency, now happens to be the most AI-enabled province. We are investing hugely in AI. Punjab is the only province to have a dedicated AI office. It is called the Office of the AI. And we are trying to implement all that we can, make use of the technology not only in governance, but in everything that we come across, be it health, be it education, be it livestock, be it agriculture. Only this morning I had a meeting with Huawei, and I had meetings with Alibaba. And I am very eager to learn from their AI medical interventions. We have also started that in Pakistan. #MaryamNawazInChina

ELON'S POV ON THE MEANING OF LIFE: "IT'S ABOUT THE QUESTION, NOT THE ANSWER" Elon is literally saying the entire purpose of human existence, and everything he's building, from Neuralink and Starship to Grok and Optimus, is aimed at one goal. What's the goal, you ask? To turn humanity into a massive superintelligence that can finally figure out the right questions to ask reality itself. "Humans are 30~40 trillion cells, trillions of synapses… but the why of it is just so we can increase our understanding of the universe. I came to the conclusion, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy style, that the answer is 42, but the real problem is we don't even know what the question is. The hard part is the question, not the answer. And for that you need a much bigger computer than Earth. So by expanding the scope and scale of consciousness, we can better understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe." He's literally saying the entire purpose of human existence, and everything he's building (Neuralink, Starship, Grok, Optimus), is to turn humanity into a massive superintelligence that can finally figure out the right questions to ask reality itself. Not to get the answer. To learn how to ask the question that makes the answer meaningful. This is why he doesn't give a damn about money, politics, or fame anymore. He's playing the longest game in history: Turning consciousness into a galaxy-scale instrument so we can finally understand why anything exists at all. Source: Nikhil Kamath, Elon Musk

Goodnight, Zuri. Our newest orphan elephant at our Nairobi Nursery, fast asleep at the end of a long day. Her trunk found its way into her mouth somewhere along the way and never came out. Some habits are transcend species. Whether its why orphans suck their trunks, or if orphaned elephants respond to their names, we'd like to know: what burning question would you like to ask us, or a member of our field teams? Put it in the comments below and, over the coming days and weeks, we'll endeavour to answer as many as we can on our main feed.

.Elon Musk (worth $250B) answers why he’s still working: I think it's a good question you asked, because it goes to, like, at a foundational level, what is my philosophy, and why does it lead to this conclusion? So the reason is that when I was a teenager, I had, like, an existential crisis to try to figure out what's the meaning of life. There doesn't seem to be any meaning. For me, at least the religious texts, and I read all of them that I could get my hands on did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. Be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression. So reading Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, as an adult, it's much more manageable. But as a kid, you're like, “Whoa.” So then I was like, “Man, I'm just struggling to find meaning in life here.” And then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And basically what Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The question is not, “What's the meaning of life?” In The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Earth it turns out is a big computer, and its goal is to answer the question, “What's the meaning of life?” And Earth comes up with the answer “42”. This is where the 42 number comes from. And 420 is just ten times 42. In that book, which is really sort of a book about, it's an existential philosophy book disguised as humor. They come to the conclusion that, no, the real problem is trying to formulate the question. And to really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth. And so maybe one way, I think, of characterizing this would be to say, “The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?” The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multistellar species… we have a chance of figuring out what the hell is going on. And so this is why I think we should have more humans and both biological and digital consciousness. And why we should become a multi-planet species and a multistellar species is so that we can understand the nature of the universe. And then in order for that to occur, then we have to make sure that things are good on Earth. We don't want Earth to disappear, so sustainable energy is important.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: AI will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of the world. It is already bringing unimaginable changes to our economy, our democracy and political system, to the health of our children, to our environment, and to how we educate and raise our kids. The question is, who will own and control the future? Who will benefit from AI and who will be hurt by it? Will AI be used to make life better for working families?
