Lina Khan, former FTC Chair AI acceleration has widened the gap between technology and policy. In my view, the first crack in that gap occurred with the 1996 dismantling of the Office of Technology Assessment in favor of corporate self-governance. The OTA used to be a go-to source for good sense -- what the world needs now. This and more is discussed in my Medium post, 'Heading AI Exceptionalism Off at the Pass: Khan at Atlanticpalooza.' And yes, it takes a look into that recent Atlantic podcast with Lina Khan, the tech billionaires' most dreaded regulator and critic. https://jackivaughan.medium.com/heading-ai-exceptionalism-off-at-the-pass-khan-at-atlanticpalooza-0ac0b914155c
Cryptomnesia
AI generated by Geminini When memory and reality cross-pollinate, you are experiencing a case of cryptomnesia (specifically, source amnesia). Cryptomnesia happens when a memory from your past is stored away without your conscious awareness of where it came from. Years later, that memory resurfaces, but because your brain forgot the original context (such as watching Fantastic Voyage at the golden rondelle - 3 years after theatrical release - introduced by you girl friend in a air stewardess uniform of lime green or seeing a pop-culture still in Life or staring at a Fillmore poster still as a teen), it feels entirely novel. It is a remarkably common phenomenon —like Raquel Welch trapped in a skintight wetsuit being attacked by microscopic antibodies inside a human body. Hollywood, 1966

Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin had the Jesuits’ questioning stance in great measure. He taught science and sought to reconcile it with religion — not always a favored stance in Vatican City and beyond. He promoted concepts of evolutionary science, which were only slowly accepted by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. His notions were such that it wasn’t difficult for him to discern trends in scientific discovery that could readily be combined with religious lines of thought.
