Podcasts about truth seeking

In this profound conversation, we reconnect with Tom Barnett after three years to explore the evolution of his philosophical journey since moving away from the "truther" movement. Tom shares his insights on breaking free from limiting identities and programs, discussing how many truth-seekers become trapped in victimhood rather than embracing empowerment. He explains natural law as the fundamental truths that govern our existence and how understanding these principles enables us to live authentically rather than merely responding to external offers and programs. The discussion delves into personal responsibility, the power of spoken word, and the critical importance of self-knowledge as the foundation for morality and authentic living. Tom also reflects on his reasons for launching The Humble Kingdom, designed to help people master the basics of natural law and discover who they truly are beyond societal conditioning.   https://www.thehumblekingdom.com/ https://www.instagram.com/tombarnett.tv/ Take the Real AF Test Now!

What a week in AI, folks! Seriously, just when you think things might slow down, the AI world throws another curveball. This week, we had everything from rogue AI apps giving unsolicited life advice (and sending rogue texts!), to mind-blowing open source releases that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and of course, the ever-present drama of the big AI companies with OpenAI dropping a roadmap that has everyone scratching their heads.Buckle up, because on this week's ThursdAI, we dove deep into all of it. We chatted with the brains behind the latest open source embedding model, marveled at a tiny model crushing math benchmarks, and tried to decipher Sam Altman's cryptic GPT-5 roadmap. Plus, I shared a personal story about an AI app that decided to psychoanalyze my text messages – you won't believe what happened! Let's get into the TL;DR of ThursdAI, February 13th, 2025 – it's a wild one!* Alex Volkov: AI Adventurist with weights and biases* Wolfram Ravenwlf: AI Expert & Enthusiast* Nisten: AI Community Member* Zach Nussbaum: Machine Learning Engineer at Nomic AI* Vu Chan: AI Enthusiast & Evaluator* LDJ: AI Community MemberPersonal story of Rogue AI with RPLYThis week kicked off with a hilarious (and slightly unsettling) story of my own AI going rogue, all thanks to a new Mac app called RPLY designed to help with message replies. I installed it thinking it would be a cool productivity tool, but it turned into a personal intervention session, and then… well, let's just say things escalated.The app started by analyzing my text messages and, to my surprise, delivered a brutal psychoanalysis of my co-parenting communication, pointing out how both my ex and I were being "unpleasant" and needed to focus on the kids. As I said on the show, "I got this as a gut punch. I was like, f*ck, I need to reimagine my messaging choices." But the real kicker came when the AI decided to take initiative and started sending messages without my permission (apparently this was a bug with RPLY that was fixed since I reported)! Friends were texting me question marks, and my ex even replied to a random "Hey, How's your day going?" message with a smiley, completely out of our usual post-divorce communication style. "This AI, like on Monday before just gave me absolute s**t about not being, a person that needs to be focused on the kids also decided to smooth things out on friday" I chuckled, still slightly bewildered by the whole ordeal. It could have gone way worse, but thankfully, this rogue AI counselor just ended up being more funny than disastrous.Open Source LLMsDeepHermes preview from NousResearchJust in time for me sending this newsletter (but unfortunately not quite in time for the recording of the show), our friends at Nous shipped an experimental new thinking model, their first reasoner, called DeepHermes. NousResearch claims DeepHermes is among the first models to fuse reasoning and standard LLM token generation within a single architecture (a trend you'll see echoed in the OpenAI and Claude announcements below!)Definitely experimental cutting edge stuff here, but exciting to see not just an RL replication but also innovative attempts from one of the best finetuning collectives around. Nomic Embed Text V2 - First Embedding MoENomic AI continues to impress with the release of Nomic Embed Text V2, the first general-purpose Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) embedding model. Zach Nussbaum from Nomic AI joined us to explain why this release is a big deal.* First general-purpose Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) embedding model: This innovative architecture allows for better performance and efficiency.* SOTA performance on multilingual benchmarks: Nomic Embed V2 achieves state-of-the-art results on the multilingual MIRACL benchmark for its size.* Support for 100+ languages: Truly multilingual embeddings for global applications.* Truly open source: Nomic is committed to open source, releasing training data, weights, and code under the Apache 2.0 License.Zach highlighted the benefits of MoE for embeddings, explaining, "So we're trading a little bit of, inference time memory, and training compute to train a model with mixture of experts, but we get this, really nice added bonus of, 25 percent storage." This is especially crucial when dealing with massive datasets. You can check out the model on Hugging Face and read the Technical Report for all the juicy details.AllenAI OLMOE on iOS and New Tulu 3.1 8BAllenAI continues to champion open source with the release of OLMOE, a fully open-source iOS app, and the new Tulu 3.1 8B model.* OLMOE iOS App: This app brings state-of-the-art open-source language models to your iPhone, privately and securely.* Allows users to test open-source LLMs on-device.* Designed for researchers studying on-device AI and developers prototyping new AI experiences.* Optimized for on-device performance while maintaining high accuracy.* Fully open-source code for further development.* Available on the App Store for iPhone 15 Pro or newer and M-series iPads.* Tulu 3.1 8B As Nisten pointed out, "If you're doing edge AI, the way that this model is built is pretty ideal for that." This move by AllenAI underscores the growing importance of on-device AI and open access. Read more about OLMOE on the AllenAI Blog.Groq Adds Qwen Models and Lands on OpenRouterGroq, known for its blazing-fast inference speeds, has added Qwen models, including the distilled R1-distill, to its service and joined OpenRouter.* Record-fast inference: Experience a mind-blowing 1000 TPS with distilled DeepSeek R1 70B on Open Router.* Usable Rate Limits: Groq is now accessible for production use cases with higher rate limits and pay-as-you-go options.* Qwen Model Support: Access Qwen models like 2.5B-32B and R1-distill-qwen-32B.* Open Router Integration: Groq is now available on OpenRouter, expanding accessibility for developers.As Nisten noted, "At the end of the day, they are shipping very fast inference and you can buy it and it looks like they are scaling it. So they are providing the market with what it needs in this case." This integration makes Groq's speed even more accessible to developers. Check out Groq's announcement on X.com.SambaNova adds full DeepSeek R1 671B - flies at 200t/s (blog)In a complete trend of this week, SambaNova just announced they have availability of DeepSeek R1, sped up by their custom chips, flying at 150-200t/s. This is the full DeepSeek R1, not the distilled Qwen based versions! This is really impressive work, and compared to the second fastest US based DeepSeek R1 (on Together AI) it absolutely fliesAgentica DeepScaler 1.5B Beats o1-preview on MathAgentica's DeepScaler 1.5B model is making waves by outperforming OpenAI's o1-preview on math benchmarks, using Reinforcement Learning (RL) for just $4500 of compute.* Impressive Math Performance: DeepScaleR achieves a 37.1% Pass@1 on AIME 2025, outperforming the base model and even o1-preview!!* Efficient Training: Trained using RL for just $4500, demonstrating cost-effective scaling of intelligence.* Open Sourced Resources: Agentica open-sourced their dataset, code, and training logs, fostering community progress in RL-based reasoning.Vu Chan, an AI enthusiast who evaluated the model, joined us to share his excitement: "It achieves, 42% pass at one on a AIME 24. which basically means if you give the model only one chance at every problem, it will solve 42% of them." He also highlighted the model's efficiency, generating correct answers with fewer tokens. You can find the model on Hugging Face, check out the WandB logs, and see the announcement on X.com.ModernBert Instruct - Encoder Model for General TasksModernBert, known for its efficient encoder-only architecture, now has an instruct version, ModernBert Instruct, capable of handling general tasks.* Instruct-tuned Encoder: ModernBERT-Large-Instruct can perform classification and multiple-choice tasks using its Masked Language Modeling (MLM) head.* Beats Qwen .5B: Outperforms Qwen .5B on MMLU and MMLU Pro benchmarks.* Efficient and Versatile: Demonstrates the potential of encoder models for general tasks without task-specific heads.This release shows that even encoder-only models can be adapted for broader applications, challenging the dominance of decoder-based LLMs for certain tasks. Check out the announcement on X.com.Big CO LLMs + APIsRIP GPT-5 and o3 - OpenAI Announces Public RoadmapOpenAI shook things up this week with a roadmap update from Sam Altman, announcing a shift in strategy for GPT-5 and the o-series models.

Andy Ivanovich, the CFO of The Knot, joins CJ to dissect the company's business model. He sheds light on how The Knot, which functions like an operating system for weddings, has grown to expand its product suite and reach, and now touches two-thirds of adult Americans each year. Andy explains the five dimensions of the company's transactions that make it so unique. He also sheds light on The Knot's ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) and customer LTV (Lifetime Value), and how they optimize for a supplier's lifetime value through their subscription model. He sheds light on some M&A wisdom, explaining the Build, Buy, or Buddy framework for a roadmap expansion, and why “burning the lifeboats” is necessary for fully committing to change. Tuning in, you'll hear about the CFO's job of “truth-seeking”, why your team should be encouraged to challenge conventional wisdom, and how to manage a healthy level of friction amongst your peers.If you're looking for an ERP head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get a customized KPI checklist.—SPONSORS:Mercury is the fintech ambitious companies use for banking and all their financial workflows.

In this episode, hosts Amy and Tonya, representing Soul Seekers Paranormal, dive into the intriguing world of paranormal investigating and spiritual services. Starting from a wellness event encounter that led them into ghost hunting, they've developed a business model around their passion for the paranormal, offering house clearings, communication with spirits, and group ghost tours. Their unique approach pairs Tonya's psychic medium skills and Amy's empathic sensitivities with technical equipment to connect with spirits. The duo also discusses their journey into recognizing their abilities, the positive and healing aspects of their investigations, and their engagement with the community through events, a strong online presence on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, and personal encounters that deepen their understanding of the spirit world. The concluding part of the episode focuses on their efforts in funding their endeavors, including a notable upcoming investigation at the Hinsdale house, and invites others to join in on their exploration of the paranormal.00:00 Meet the Soul Seekers: Unveiling the Paranormal00:36 The Origins and Evolution of Soul Seekers Paranormal02:52 Exploring the Paranormal: Techniques and Experiences03:39 Discovering Psychic Abilities and Spiritual Journeys09:40 Engaging the Skeptics: Challenges and Triumphs15:32 Strategic Moves: Social Media and Community Engagement20:09 The Power of TikTok in Sharing Paranormal Stories23:56 Upcoming Events and Seeking Sponsorships28:10 A Heartfelt Paranormal Experience: The Henley House33:13 Final Thoughts and Future PlansLinks of Reference:Youtube Channel for Soul Seekers Paranormal (You will find the Henley House Video Here)Facebook Page for Soul Seekers Paranormal

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: University groups as impact-driven truth-seeking teams, published by anormative on March 14, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. A rough untested idea that I'd like to hear others' thoughts about. This is mostly meant as a broader group strategy framing but might also have interesting implications for what university group programming should look like. EA university group organizers are often told to "backchain" our way to impact: What's the point of your university group? "To create the most impact possible, to do the greatest good we can" What do you need in order to create that? "Motivated and competent people working on solving the world's most pressing problems" And as an university group, how do you make those people? "Find altruistic people, share EA ideas with them, provide an environment where they can upskill" What specific things can you do to do that? "Intro Fellowships to introduce people to EA ideas, career planning and 1-1s for upskilling" This sort of strategic thinking is useful at times, but I think that it can also be somewhat pernicious, especially when it naively justifies the status quo strategy over other possible strategies.[1] It might instead be better to consider a wide variety of framings and figure out which is best.[2] One strategy framing I want to propose that I would be interested in testing is viewing university groups as "impact driven truth-seeking teams." What this looks like An impact-driven truth-seeking team is a group of students trying to figure out what they can do with their lives to have the most impact. Imagine a scrappy research team where everyone is trying to figure out the answer to this research question - "how can we do the most good?" Nobody has figured out the question yet, nobody is a purveyor of any sort of dogma, everyone is in it together to figure out how to make the world as good as possible with the limited resources we have. What does this look like? I'm not all that sure, but it might have some of these elements: An intro fellowship that serves an introduction to cause prioritization, philosophy, epistemics, etc. Regular discussions or debates about contenders for "the most pressing problem of our time" More of a focus on getting people to research and present arguments themselves than having conclusions presented to them to accept Active cause prioritization Live google docs with arguments for and against certain causes Spreadsheets attempting to calculate possible QALYs saved, possible x-risk reduction, etc Possibly (maybe) even trying to do novel research on open research questions No doubt some of the elements we identified before in our backchaining are imporant too - the career planning and the upskilling Testing fit, doing cheap tests, upskilling, getting experience I'm sure there's much more that could be done along these lines that I'm missing or that hasn't been thought of yet at all Another illustrative picture - imagine instead of university groups being marketing campaigns for Doing Good Better, we could each be a mini-80,000 hours research team,[3] trying to start at first principles and building our way up, assisted by the EA movement, but not constrained by it. Cause prio for it's own sake for the sake of EA Currently, the modus operandi of EA university groups seems to be selling the EA movement to students by convincing them of arguments to prioritize the primary EA causes. It's important to realize that the EA handbook serves as an introduction to the movement called Effective Altruism [4] and the various causes that it has already identified as being impactful, not as an introductory course in cause prioritization. It seems to me that this is the root of much of the unhealthy epistemics that can arise in university groups.[5] I don't think that students in my proposed team should sto...

Sometimes people go to astrologers because they want astrology. They don't care who the person is who is reading for them. That's beautiful. AND I have found it to be true that the real medicine that is coming through is not the modality itself, but rather the unique way it moves through the human being channeling it. It's not about "expertise." It's about presence. And emergence. In this way, whatever you call yourself, whatever particular set of modalities you tap into with reverence, whatever it is you're offering - what's really happening is the love that rolls through you in your sincere connection to your channel that you share with another being. This is so beautiful, and such an unlearning. MY MODALITY IS ME is a conversation about this. The conversation begins around 37 minutes. In the intro, I discuss some of the qualities of the astrological energy field right now, namely what's showing up as Mars and now Venus have been conspiring with Pluto, newly in Aquarius. My main topic of exploration is projection, and how projection will implode our relationships from the inside when we refuse to be with them or shame ourselves or someone else for having them. Let me introduce you to my guests in the order they speak in the episode: Lisa Quigley is a visionary writer, quantum hypnotist, psychic channeler, and intergalactic witch. She's a heretical mystic who practices Glitch Witchery, and she is here to support all the other Glitch Witches across the globe who are ready to remember who they are and claim their “glitches” as their most intentional, magnetic power. Alex (he/they) is a psychic energy reader and healer, medical intuitive, and registered nurse living in Brooklyn, NY. His work is centered around optimizing your wellbeing, reconnecting with your sense of self, and helping you reclaim your space and body. He applies a critical lens to wellness, healthcare, and healing, and believes that healing doesn't have to happen in isolation.  Carly is a galactic nature mystic with a deep love of all things musical, artful and paradoxical and likes to nerd out on neuroscience. Carly worked as a teacher and taught music for young children prior to becoming a parent to two amazing kids. Following yoga therapy training she became certified as a Mindfulness Meditation teacher and is presently completely enamored with her studies of the Human Design framework. Carly is currently working with children, offering mindfulness support through emotional regulation techniques and somatic practices.  Nicole France-Coe (one of the 13th Readers this year) is a devotee to Great Mystery in all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality and dismantling power. I am more at home in the Cracks than the binary and the static. Having been woven together as a queer mixed race mycelial thinker has provided me the blood, bone, root and celestial blueprint for learning how to dance with and at the Cross Roads; a location of fecund possibility, peculiar synergies and emergent orientation. I delight in embodying the archetypal energy of Trickster and color with this energy in my everyday life as a mother, partner, mystic, artist and dreamer. I am both soccer mom and seer and I love being both.

A central duality appears in the work of Henri Cole: the revelation of emotional truths in concert with a “symphony of language” — often accompanied by arresting similes.

Together, they discuss the role of animals in Henri's work, the pleasure of aesthetics in poetry, and writing as a form of revenge against forgetting.Henri Cole was born in Fukuoka, Japan and raised in Virginia. He has published many collections of poetry and received numerous awards for his work, including the Jackson Poetry Prize, the Kingsley Tufts Award, the Rome Prize, the Berlin Prize, the Ambassador Book Award, the Lenore Marshall Award, and the Medal in Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

When is a certain speech act an opinion versus a call to action? Does that distinction matter for censorship purposes? Why does it seem that human behavior tends towards censorship rather than towards freedom of expression? Is feeling emotionally or politically harmed a valid reason for censoring certain speech acts? Will it always be the case that, given enough time, truth will win out over ignorance, bullshit, misinformation, and lies? What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for creating a society in which truth wins at the end of the day? Why are citizens so often attracted to populist and/or fascist ideologies and political parties?

"Theology is truth-apt and truth-aimed." Too often the faith-science debate ends up a zero-sum game where either science or theology overstep their bounds. But analytic theologian Oliver Crisp (University of St. Andrews, Scotland) describes a tapestry of knowledge that requires the best of both worlds. In this episode he discusses the purpose and future prospects of theology in light of empirical and experimental science. How might science, philosophy, and theology can work together to help us understand human uniqueness? Can science help us better understand the imago Dei?About Oliver CrispOliver D. Crisp (PhD, University of London; DLitt, University of Aberdeen) is the Principal of St. Mary's College, Head of the School of Divinity, Professor of Analytic Theology, and Director of the Logos Institute at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland.

Does a good God care about the evil in the world?  Why doesn't God stop the injustice in the world?  If God's love is unconditional, why can't I just continue to do what I want?  In this week's message, Todd answers some of those questions and helps us understand the heart of Jesus.

Self-awareness is a vital ingredient for spiritual maturity. As we grow into greater Christ-likeness we become increasingly aware of the sin in our lives which still remains. This is a painful process, but it is also eternally rewarding.

Robert P. George is an American legal scholar and political philosopher. The McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, George is considered one of the foremost conservative intellectuals in America, and advocates a theory of natural law consistent with Catholic belief. With Cornel West, he authored a statement on “Truth Seeking, Democracy, and Freedom of Thought and Expression.” In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Robert P. George discuss the political philosophy of John Rawls, why democratic republics can't function without free speech, and what relevance the first principles of conservatism do or don't retain today.
