"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him" AI will continue to grow as both a conduit and object of religious experience. We dove into this at an Ai Salon last year.

This was one of the very best events I have ever been to in SF. Terrific discussion around the societal implications of generative AI, cautious optimism, properly weighing near-term risks, and so much more. You have built something truly special @Andercot and @Ian_Eisenberg !

The promise of neurotechnology is oft-fetishized, but the path forward requires a sober disentangling of social context from physiology, and an embrace of new approaches to treatment. We distilled a recent discussion on Neurotechnology on our substack. Link in comments

2/ The social institutions of salons are more than conversations, they are co-creation and cross-pollination of ideas. Diderot, Voltaire, and Rousseau laid the intellectual framework underwriting the French Revolution which forever changed western society.

@Philip_Edgcumbe @Andercot (2) We *do* think we can scale. We want to empower other hosts, the GPT itself brings our conversations and insights to others, and we'd love for anyone inspired by these conversations to start them wherever they are! Get in touch, we'd love to support.

@Philip_Edgcumbe @Andercot We definitely agree with the analogy! Two responses about scale: (1) Our focus on intimate and multifaceted conversations seems critical. And some of the magic may come from the density of people in the San Francisco area. The magic of place sometimes can't be scaled!

4/ AI is poised to transform every sphere of human creativity and commerce, and challenge the very concepts of person-hood. Like those Enlightenment-era thinkers, we stand at the precipice of a re-imagining of how social institutions might function in the future at every level.
