Standing waves is a wave that oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space. They are formed by the superposition of two travelling waves of the same frequency travelling in opposite directions.
With 60% of the human body made up of water, it’s surprising how little we’ve explored standing waves and resonance effects within the body. This field seems to be in its infancy.

In the decades ahead, scientists will acknowledge that at the center of the decentralized hologram we call reality is a paradoxical, none-computational black hole, transforming everything into nothing and back again.

The study of self-organizing systems that exhibit intelligent behavior is too heavily focused on linear-time-bound causal cases. The real mystery lies in timeless, acausal phenomena like time crystals. Next gen post-computation systems embrace the eternal paradox at their core.

Perspective: People aren't typically 'wrong' in their views and approaches; rather, the gap between their reality tunnel and yours is often too wide for effective understanding and communication.

In many professions, like law and accounting, a flood of complex jargon and processes often serves primarily to confuse outsiders and justify high fees. Specialized LLMs will disrupt these practices, bringing more transparency in the years to come.

Is it time to revisit an idea I outlined in a 2016 blog? An Agentic Generative AI system optimized for maximum brand damage. Frustrated with airlines? Unleash 10k relentless attack bots that do fake reviews, fake videos, slander employees, etc. Total corporate warfare, no limits

Too much of the AI augmentation discourse centers on individuals—a 'superman' complex. Few focus on organizational augmentation, which may not be as glamorous but has exponentially greater impact. Douglas Engelbart had it right 50 years ago.

Reminder: Behavior always trumps appearance. An ugly person will appear beautiful if you see them be kind.

50 years since they invented a way to absorb books' knowledge by eating chocolate cake, and it's still not on menus.

Thoughts on CreativeAI, 8 years later
In light of an upcoming experiment, I've been revisiting a piece I wrote in March 2016 titled "Creative AI: On the Democratisation & Escalation of Creativity" (https://medium.com/@creativeai/creativeai-9d4b2346faf3). This expansive manifesto, which outlined much of the Generative AI landscape years before its mainstream emergence, hinged on a fundamental assumption: The central point of Generative AI Systems is to make more people more creative and to enable "a future where CreativeAI helps us raise the human potential."
Reflecting on this vision from today's vantage point, I now perceive it as rather naive and recognize it as just one of many competing viewpoints. The current landscape has revealed far more compelling scenarios that have yet to capture widespread attention—reminiscent of the nascent state of Generative AI in 2016. More on these ideas soon.
