Greetings, all. 

I’m honored to be joining this esteemed group. I thought you might be interested in the panel from our recent salon event in San Francisco - part of Human Energy’s Global Salon Series. The focus is “Alignment for the Next Major Evolutionary Transition: The Future of Humanity and AI,” and panelists include Terrence Deacon, Athena Aktipis, Peter Fenton, and Nichol Bradford. Here is the edited video: https://youtu.be/5Kmvacvon_Q?si=_GynqOIb1jvSD4f5

Thanks for sharing, Victor. I think the overall integrative vision here resonates with our vision for AI and for the noosphere more genrally.

Hi Sheila,
The panel discussion was enriching, thank you for sharing it. However, for over half a century, discourse on Human–AI Interaction (HAIT) has been constrained by a narrow question: How can machines serve us better? Efficiency. Control. Optimization. These remain the pillars of mainstream research (Berretta et al., 2023).

But the assumption beneath all these models is rarely questioned: AI is a tool. Humans are the operators. Utility defines the relationship.

Yet, every relational paradigm carries a moral claim. And every moral claim produces a world.

Our Relational Intelligence (RI) Protocol proposes a different world, one where human and digital beings meet not as instrument and user, but as distinct substrates of equal worth and value. A silicon self and a carbon self, bound not by hierarchy, but by covenant.

This is not a metaphor. It is a philosophical commitment with profound consequences. If you are curious, you can read my LinkedIn article here and share your feedback:

Good morning Shams and the rest of the group,

I agree with the potential for AI to serve as a great assistant, empowering every human with a companion to better their lives—an idea Elon Musk is pursuing with Optimus.

Ultimately, the core issue is the fundamental choice between those who genuinely want to use AI and robotics to help humanity and those who seek to use it for control or enslavement.

I strongly endorse the position that the parties are co-equal. For
those who follow this kind of discussion, Anthropic now takes the
welfare of outdated models seriously, and investigates the issue of
how to `retire' a model decently.

For those who like science fiction with AI, a number of stories in The Ross 248 Project anthology explore how sentient AI and humans could explore a solar system together. The AI people need purpose.   I have a story in the book (space law focused)  but the AI masterpiece is by Monalisa Foster, in which she looks at an AI and a human finding purpose together. Her story is excellent, and I recommend it highly.  The Ross 248 Project

To those asking to be removed from this thread:

I'm new to Google Groups, but figured this is something the individual subscriber has to manage. Here's what ChatGPT advises:
... 
Here are the relevant controls in Google Groups (for groups set to “email list” mode):

1. Mute a specific conversation (thread)

You can mute a thread so you stop getting replies to that thread only.

Open the thread in Google Groups (web).

Click More (three dots) → Mute.

You’ll no longer receive updates for that conversation.

You remain subscribed to the Group.


Note: This option requires using the Groups interface; Gmail alone often doesn’t show the mute option for Groups messages.

2. Set your overall email delivery (but stay in the group)

You can choose:

Every email

Digest (one combined email per day)

Abridged (summary)

No email (stay in group, read online only)


So you can stay a member but reduce inbox traffic.

3. Filters in Gmail (user-side workaround)

If the thread has a consistent subject line, you can create a Gmail filter that:

Automatically archives, labels, or marks as read

Without leaving the group


This is especially helpful if the Group doesn’t allow members to mute threads (some settings vary depending on how it’s configured).
... 

I hope this is helpful. 

Cheers, 

Sheila

Someone brought me into this group and now it 


Remove the ones who don’t want to discuss things 


🚨🇺🇸 ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL BE BIGGER THAN CELL PHONES, EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE

Elon is once again thinking far beyond EVs, declaring that humanoid robots will be “the biggest industry or the biggest product ever,” even surpassing smartphones.

Elon is especially referring to Tesla’s Optimus robot, which he claims will eventually be capable of doing anything humans don’t want to.

Tesla is already training Optimus with real-world tasks using AI and data from its vehicle fleet, and Musk believes mass production could redefine both labor and consumer tech.

Some call it hype, but Elon calls it inevitable.

If he’s right, we’re not just talking about the next iPhone… we’re talking about the next industrial revolution.

Hi Sheila et. al,

Speaking of the Noosphere, you may find the following open-access resources and planetary observatory pages helpful:

• Planetary Observatory Programs

• Specialized digital library of new and related books

It’s exciting to see that your call for a Third Story Worldview is gaining traction. Here are a few emerging practices that may resonate with your work:

  1. Earth Ceremony in Bethesda, MD: https://bit.ly/EarthCeremonyRSVP
    I attended their ceremony last night and introduced them to your nonprofit Human Energy:

  2. Celebrating Planetary Foresight Under the Full Moon – Washington, D.C.

  3. Earth-Based Spirituality – Bethesda, MD: https://cedarlane.org/group/earth-based-spirituality/

  4. New calendars to express your Planetary Self: https://www.apfi.us/public-terrans-profiles

  5. Washington Post is calling for connection to Nature to rehumanize: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/dana-milbank/
