Inflection Point: Riding the AI Horse without Losing Your Mind

Nicholas Paul thinks about thinking. He is currently researching and realizing a new project focused on the ‘thinking’ part of ‘long-term thinking’. Before this, Nicholas helped run The Long Now Foundation—the storied nonprofit fostering long-term thinking at the timescale of 10,000 years—where he served as both Director of Development and Director of Strategy, for nearly a decade. His background spans systems engineering and philosophy. He occasionally tours as a guitarist with Tōsh. He is currently a fellow at The Institute in San Francisco, California.

Nicholas and Charles are close friends. For this conversation they will share and expand upon their personal attitudes towards AI, Art and the future of consciousness. From deep time to the extreme now, anticipate humility, humor, and just possibly some profound insights. Audience participation encouraged.
