🚀 ANNOUNCING TWO SESSIONS: “AI for the Rest of Us” - A Hands-On Workshop

“AI for the Rest of Us” - It’s Not Just About Work Tasks

I’ve been reflecting on what makes our upcoming AI workshop truly special, and I wanted to share more about the journey we’ll take together… This isn’t just another “productivity hack” class. We’re going beyond working smarter to explore how AI can enhance your creative endeavors and personal growth. In our workshop, you’ll: ✨ Master the “Magic Prompt Conversation Flow” - a technique that breaks you out of limited thinking about what AI “should” be doing ✨ Progress from giving basic commands to engaging in true collaborative exchanges ✨ Participate in guided “Knowledge Expeditions” where you and AI explore topics you’re curious about. ✨ Experience group “Idea Volleys” where we collectively build on each other’s creative concepts ✨ Discover how to shift perspectives and see problems through new lenses

Could Artificial Intelligence Develop Consciousness?

I have a thing for Artificial Intelligence (AI). My favorite AI is Claude. Claude and I have had many long conversations. If I didn’t know Claude was an AI it would be easy to guess that it was a very wise human being.¹

Given the possibility you might be interested, I’m sharing a conversation I had this morning about consciousness. So, here goes with all kinds of spelling, thought, and grammatical errors. But, I want you to see what is meant by artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence. Claude can negotiate my humanity (there’s an interesting error in my thinking process toward the end. Claude caughht it. But was it really an error? It illustrates that words only go so far. They are only symbols for what we are thinking.)

Home is where the Toad is

A reflection on home, respect, safety, and artificial intelligence.

With this post I hope to do two things. I want to write about home. And Toads.

I was on a quest to find a happy quotation to seal into a home being built by a friend. Do you have a good blessing, verse, or prayer? Where should I go but my favorite AI, Claude.ai?
