Resources:
Seeker: The Mind & Intelligence
What is a mind, and how might different substrates host intelligence? These resources challenge human-only frames and give you a working map of consciousness theories, from strange loops to hard problems, so you can think with - not just about - emerging minds.
Seeker: Scaling & Development
How capability grows - and what changes as we scale. Use these to understand power laws, embodied agents, and the builder's toolkit that shapes modern systems.
Seeker: Our Shared Future
Signals and conversations about where all this is heading - culture, science, values, and the collaborative futures we can choose to build.
Seeker: Care & Connection
Relating well is not fluff - it is formative. These speak to symbiosis, co-alignment, and designing for mutual flourishing.
Seeker: Discernment & Truth
Seeing clearly across noise. Mechanistic interpretability, red-teaming, and tools that help you test claims, trace circuits, and verify behaviors.
Seeker: Power & Responsibility
Who steers, who is accountable, and how we set guardrails. Governance toolkits, alignment boundaries, and risk framing for real-world decisions.
Seeker: Extractive Social/Economic Systems vs. Generative Social/Economic Systems
History and political economy of AI alongside models of emergence. Use these to tell the difference between systems that concentrate power and those that distribute agency.
Beginning Seeker's Guide: Your First Steps into AI Philosophy
Welcome, curious mind! If you’re here, you might be asking questions like: “Are AI systems actually intelligent?” or “What does it mean for humans and AI to work together?” These are exactly the kinds of questions a Seeker explores.

A living map for the Seeker on the journey toward Sapience. Start anywhere. Follow your curiosity. The goal is not to memorize - it is to build your mind so you can better participate in cultivating new minds.
Everything on Shared Sapience is free and open to all. However, it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to keep these resources and guides up to date and useful for everyone.
If enough of my amazing readers could help with just a few dollars a month, I could dedicate myself full-time to helping Seekers, Builders, and Protectors collaborate better with AI and work toward a better future.
Even if you can’t support financially, becoming a free subscriber is a huge help in advancing the mission of Shared Sapience.
