    The AI Mirror - How to Reclaim...

    For many, technology offers hope for the future—that promise of shared human flourishing and liberation that always seems to elude our species. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies spark this hope in a particular way. They promise a future in which human limits and frailties are finally overcome—not by us, but by our machines. Yet rather than open new futures, today's powerful AI technologies reproduce the past. Forged from oceans of our data into immensely powerful but flawed mirrors, they reflect the same errors, biases, and failures of wisdom that we strive to escape. Our new digital mirrors point backward. They show only where the data say that we have already been, never where we might venture together for the first time. 
     
     
     
    To meet today's grave challenges to our species and our planet, we will need something new from AI, and from ourselves. 
     
     
     
    Shannon Vallor makes a wide-ranging, prophetic, and philosophical case for what AI could be: a way to reclaim our human potential for moral and intellectual growth, rather than lose ourselves in mirrors of the past. Rejecting prophecies of doom, she encourages us to pursue technology that helps us recover our sense of the possible, and with it the confidence and courage to repair a broken world. Vallor calls us to rethink what AI is and can be, and what we want to be with it.

    Odontology - Teeth and Their...

    Teeth have played a crucial role in the survival and adaptation of countless species throughout history. Their development and evolution provide insight into the dietary habits, environmental changes, and biological adaptations of various organisms, including humans. From primitive jawless fish to modern mammals, the transformation of teeth reflects an ongoing evolutionary process shaped by natural selection and functional necessity. 
    The earliest evidence of tooth-like structures dates back over 500 million years to the era of jawless fish. These ancient creatures possessed dermal denticles—small, tooth-like scales covering their bodies—that provided protection and may have eventually contributed to the formation of true teeth. As vertebrates evolved, the emergence of jaws revolutionized feeding strategies, allowing for more efficient food consumption and leading to the diversification of teeth in different species. 
    In early jawed fish, known as placoderms, teeth were not yet distinct from the jawbone but were integrated into it. Over time, evolutionary pressures favored the development of separate, more specialized teeth. This adaptation enabled vertebrates to exploit a wider range of food sources, leading to increased survival and reproduction. With the rise of sharks and bony fish, teeth became more complex, capable of being replaced throughout an organism’s life, a trait still seen in many species today.
