Huge congratulations to @annadgoldie on receiving her @Stanford PhD today! It’s been a great journey!
Great to meet with @cohere CEO Aidan Gomez to discuss his new partnerships with Canada and the UK — strengthening our leadership in AI, furthering AI safety, and ensuring technology built here at home drives better services for Canadians.
Grappling with the core dilemma of morality: Dualist: virtue is its own reward—but it divides the world. Monist: seeks unity with the divine—but reduces goodness to a means. Can we pursue the good and the whole?
