    1044 MOTION, HUMAN COGNITION, AND AI

    The short film: http://youtu.be/xeYHdxD8s98 The Metafictional book: https://nexumorphic.wixsite.com/nexumorphic/metaforma Branden on X: https://x.com/nexumorphic Branden on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/branden-singletary/ --- Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. Subscribe at https://aidaily.us Read more here: https://thinkfuture.com --- What drives motion in the universe? Is human cognition reducible to artificial intelligence? In this thought-provoking episode of thinkfuture, Chris Kalaboukis sits down with Branden to explore groundbreaking philosophical concepts. Branden challenges traditional views on entropy, proposing that "resolving differences" shapes motion and symmetry in the cosmos. They unpack the seven "verbs" of human cognition—sensing, feeling, intuiting, imagining, reasoning, choosing, and conducting—and debate whether AI can replicate these faculties. Branden also shares his creative journey from crafting fiction to developing a philosophical framework with profound personal impacts. With plans for an interactive app or game, Branden invites us to rethink how technology evolves and interacts with philosophy.

    Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. Subscribe at https://aidaily.us Read more here: https://thinkfuture.com --- On this episode of ThinkFuture, Chris Kalaboukis dives into the world of AI-generated poetry, exploring how large language models (LLMs) create verses that rival—or even surpass—human poetry.
