As a philosopher (and former AI researcher and tech lawyer) the rising prominence of philosophers because of AI is exciting. But the unfortunate piece is that every philosopher connected to OpenAI and Anthropic, or profiled by the NYT (see also the recent Hard Fork interview with Jeff Sebo) is an analytic philosopher and computationalist who believes that minds are essentially computers. This is a deeply dehumanizing perspective and I'm hoping more continental or even non-Western philosophers can join the conversation soon. I'm certainly doing my part in my little corner of the internet!
Steven … amazing product… I use it for everything… my AI Brain Trust … AI on Steroids… I give presentations about it all the time … thank you ... I have created with Gemini Notebook, what I think is the most comprehensive Holocaust database in the world ... https://www.leebow.com/holocaust.html
This is great news! Congrats! I talk about books as an example of extended cognition in my history, The Idea Machine, arguing that LLMs represent a further extension of what the first archives and libraries offered us.
You are a great storyteller. What a fun read. I’m retired: After a career in the Navy I became an org change (always preferred org implementation) consultant and did a lot of small and large group facilitation. Early on I found Tony Buzan and mindmaps and later Joseph Novak and concept maps. In parallel I read Senge and liked system dynamic archetypes and diagrams. Then entity-relationship diagram and the UML suite crossed by brain. I always thought that having a dynamic model (simple as possible but not simpler) running in parallel with group facilitation (and maybe a book) had potential. I did this with flip charts which worked but I thought the groups would benefit from an extended mind (I like your term) - visual at first but due to information overload in something like NOTEBOOK. I wonder if you are exploring a similar idea.
I love notebookLM as you know see evidence https://www.gerd.tv/categories/notebooklm but a bit more creative naming effort couldn't hurt, no? But... that's corporate framing I guess:::

Gemini notebook is an amazing idea and tool - you have done a great job “evangelizing “ the use and purpose of this platform. Thank you
As an early adopter, I have been following the Notebook’s evolution with interest. Let’s see where Gemini Notebook will go next…
Awesome! Congrats. NotebookLM aka Gemini Notebook is a great product.
Congrats on the new name! I actually thought you were going to announce its name as Google Mind. (The brain is a prediction machine, isn’t it).
My pitch for hiring fewer philosophers and more literary scholars! https://hollisrobbinsanecdotal.substack.com/p/why-cant-a-model-be-more-like-a-man
