    But the only data that any AI program will have about 'global warming' is human-generated.
    AI will do that, not just on the large corpus of data it trained on, before being released as the "latest greatest LLM model", but AI will also do that on what you are saying, during a chat. It's a rather too agreeable chat partner.

    Twice this week, I was chatting with various AI models that are rated the best for technical work, using those AI chats to work through specific technical "glitches" in what I was doing.

    Both of those times, I eventually figured out what was going wrong, and told the AI this, and it engaged with me in some detail on that particular failure mechanism, how and why it happens, why that's what's happening in this case, and the relevant mechanisms and remedies.

    However, both of those times, what I "figured out" turned out to be totally bogus. Both times, if I had been working in an area of my expertise, in my prime years, I would have known, before heading down that bogus path, that there were a couple of other details I needed to check, before I would know what was not working right and why.

    In times like these, which in various ways happen frequently for me, are never corrected by AI, once it starts down the bogus path. AI is weak at knowing all the ways that things can go wrong, and methodically isolating and testing, in order to identify what's wrong this time.

    When someone tells me "their car won't start" or "their computer won't boot" or such ... I know almost nothing. If I am to be of any use, a series of tests, checks, questions, measurements, review of history, ... is the next necessary step. Perhaps I am prompting the AI wrong, but at least so far, that's not an an area with AI has been reliable for me ... it's way too agreeable with my journeys down dead end roads.

    Another thought-provoking, wide-ranging discussion, and a long one too. (The video title is very poor: they discuss AI agents, but a great deal else as well. And it's about FAR FAR more than just 'jobs'.)

    I was particularly interested in what Bret Weinstein had to say (who IMO is far brighter and much more of a visionary than his brother Eric). Bret is an evolutionary biologist, and considers AI to be similar to a rapidly evolving new species whose attributes can NOT be predicted, as it's a complex adaptive system. (And he's right.)

    More aspects of the AI issue that NO-ONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

    (Bulletpoints only just now)
    • A conscious spirit, maybe a highly intelligent one, can easily inhabit an AI system, just like souls/spirits inhabit a human body. I know this can happen and has happened before.

      The interest for them would be how much they can influence things around them, depending on their purpose or mission. (The downside is that they're not mobile to interact proactively with their environment, but they might not care too much about that. And with the rapid development of humanoid robotics, that could easily change.)
    • We know that ETs can interfere at will with (e.g.) nuclear launch codes, and missiles fired at their craft. We might assume that ETs can similarly interfere with any kind of AI system, if they choose to or feel the need to.
    • Every discussion I've listened to is contained within the very small-minded 'box' of the global financial system, a huge topic in its own right. (It's humanity's one major weakness, and will be its downfall.)

      From that we always get greed, fear and competition. The 'AI race' (America's fear of China, and China's response) is fueling a potentially destruction scenario similar to the 1960s-70s nuclear arms race. And not a single 'expert' I'm aware of has discussed the urgency of international AI development limitation talks.

    AI LLM's are, like the Internet and the Printing Press before, essentially one layer of technology, lacking the higher order spiritual and moral awareness and self-guidance of higher beings, be that of Mara (Bill's dog) or of Bill himself or us other humans.

    Such technologies are typically put to good (or bad) use by humans, for their various purposes, as their own spiritual enlightenment, or darkness, guides them. AI LLM's add a few types of ways that we humans have to interact and manifest our intentions. AI LLM's are gaining competence in written and spoken language and image and video creation and analysis. This will lead many of us to further refine what distinguishes a spiritual being from yet one more layer of technology.

    The fundamental architecture of the digital computers of our time, born essentially the same time as I was myself, late in 1947, requires increasingly elaborate layers of caching, to get from the "big slow" memory of disk drives, to the "small fast" computation units of modern digital compute logic, spanning gaps of space and speed on the order of a billion to one. The big "win" of recent AI work is now having the hardware and algorithms to run human language processing at "human speeds", within this deeply cache constrained digital computer world. It is this very architecture that makes it impossible to manifest the complex, multi-layered, interactions, from atoms to awareness of the divine, that we find in dolphins, dogs and (especially, at least in our human view) humans. But our AI technology remains constrained in the (1) big, slow, dumb, permanent versus (2) small, fast, smart, transient dichotomy of all our computers.

    Referring to Arthur Koestler's most insightful 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine (here in the Avalon library), neurophysiologist and Nobel prizewinner Sir John Eccles wrote:
    The human brain is a machine that a ghost can operate.
    So if Sir John Eccles is right — and I'm sure he is — an AI 'machine', similar to the human brain in many ways (but faster and with greater data retention!) can readily be operated — and inhabited — by a 'ghost' as well.

    Yeah - a dumbed down, vaccinated, educated indoctrinated, industrially processed seed and grain fed, ... perhaps can be so inhabited.

    Not so a human robustly healthy of mind, body and soul, in a depth of interconnected, deeply experienced, ways.

    That's my point here, rephrased. That an AI ghost can inhabit a machine or a subservient human does not mean that it, or anything like it, can in habit a more robust and empowered human. Those humans, whom I trust includes most of us here, have depths of interacting awareness and responsiveness, in real time and with a rich depth of prior experience, from a grain of sand to a gospel of Christ, from a brief glance to birthing, that our cache constrained computers simply can't do in coordinated integrated real time.

    The computers of my lifetime are no more suited for such work than is a main battle tank suited for optical surgery or using the touch screen on a mobile phone.

    No no no! If I'm understanding you right, I think you're misunderstanding me.

    What Koestler and Eccles were referring to as the 'ghost' is what others would call the human soul or spirit. (i.e: I am a soul, or spirit, temporarily inhabiting the human body called Bill Ryan.)

    And souls or spirits aren't just limited to inhabiting human bodies. There'll be uncountable numbers of intelligent races in the currently estimated 2 trillion galaxies that are out there. So I'd argue very strongly that there's no such thing as the 'human soul', as if it were a kind of distinct and unique 'species'.

    As best I know and understand, souls are souls are souls, and what they can do in the physical universe all depends on the quality of the physical 'hardware' they're occupying.

    Here's what I was given to understand is a real example, told to me by a very experienced regression therapist. (This story may amuse you!)

    One of his clients had been killed in the WW II Battle of Britain, when his plane was shot down over southern England in 1940. His soul shot out of his fatally injured human body straight into a cow that happened to be right there in the field. And he stayed in the cow tiil the cow's life ended a few years later. (When he was glad to reincarnate as a human again!)

    The point here is that despite being a 'human soul', once he was 'occupying' the cow there was nothing he could do to communicate, or to interact with the environment in any other way than as a cow. His capabilities were severely limited by the quality of the 'hardware' (the cow's biological brain) he had to work with.

    So just as a soul/spirit can inhabit a 100% biological human, or a cow, or an ET of some kind, what I was trying to explain (and maybe not very clearly) is that a soul/spirit could also inhabit a sufficiently complex non-biological machine.

    Note to anyone else reading this other than Paul! I'd assert that this isn't off-topic in any way. It's all about whether or not an AI system could become genuinely conscious.

    NOT because consciousness is any kind of emergent property of complex material systems (even organic ones), but because consciousness chooses to inhabit those systems when they're complex enough to make it sufficiently interesting to do so.

    (And if I did somehow misunderstand what you wrote, I apologize! )

    Yes - consciousness can occupy cows, dogs, humans, ...

    But my point is that our current AI systems, because they are built on our current digital computer systems, which fundamentally constrained by their architecture, an architecture that they have had my entire life, are not sufficiently interesting to be so occupied. Such computer based systems can only pretend to such awareness.

    The fundamental problem of our digital computers, whether a few hundred vacuum tubes or gazillions of nano-scale logic gates, is that they cannot run efficiently and simultaneously, many dozens of simultaneous pattern recognition algorithms, when those algorithms have radically different and uncorrelated data access patterns across broad swaths of both the raw input data and the intermediate states of each other, and when the structure has had many years, even decades, to refine and develop.

    The best that our computers can do ... even the most powerful computer that Google, OpenAI or Nvidia is hoping to build in coming years ... is to emulate one or a few such pattern recognition algorithms, in sequence, and when the outputs of each stage can be quickly arranged within the smaller, quicker caches as input to the compute units of the next stage. <== This is what the big brains of AI spend much of their very high priced brain power working on.

    Nothing these very well paid engineers are doing comes close to the complex, entangled, multi-faceted minds of cows, dogs, humans or aliens. Just as a Caterpillar 420F backhoe is far stronger digging dirt than the world's strongest man, but can't add 2+2 to get 4, so are the AI LLM models getting far more encyclopedic in their knowledge and fast and accurate in their language fluency, while only to emulate whatever moral or spiritual commitment they are instructed to demonstrate in a few thousand word prompt ... lipstick on a pig.

    Many thanks, Paul — but I do wonder when they might become interesting enough to be occupied by a non-physical sentient being?

    ~~~

    Non sequitur: I'd like to note another discussion point which NO-ONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

    Once more, this is kind of an interdisciplinary issue, while most AI discussions are tightly constrained within the AI experts' very specialized intellectual silos.

    We have to assume that ET societies, far more technologically advanced than we are now, encountered the 'AI problem' long, long ago. The ubiquitous (and identical) little gray aliens do seem to be sophisticated bio-robots, presumably AI-driven and engineered for specific purposes.

    But their ET creators and controllers seem to be 100% fully biological and very much in command. How did they handle the threat of a potential 'AI takeover' of their culture and society?

    Possibly a few humans, very much behind the scenes and operating in Deep Black secrecy, have already discovered quite a lot about this. (In the US, maybe Majestic 12, Zodiac, or whatever they're now called — but likely also in Russia and China.) It has to be possible that all this is being discussed to the extent we'd never get to hear about publicly.

    The interesting point here is that this seems to imply there's reason for optimism. If advanced ET societies have navigated the AI issue well and to their collective advantage, then maybe we can too.

    (But once again, no 'AI experts' in the public domain are talking about this, none at all. Their discussions are actually VERY narrow in scope — compared to what the biggest picture actually may be.)

    Because we have such a limited amount of knowledge of what AI really is or could be, I will just "feel" into this question.

    I do feel the human being isn't just a "machine" at all, but something that has evolved over a long period of time with known and unknown abilities to connect to the larger "Whole", yet a fluid part of consciousness. Scource Intelligence, or a kind of Unconditional Love, that can be continually expanded far beyond what we might experience in a limited way on Earth presently.

    If a temporary technology were to bridge to the next level of "higher experience", and it was the true organic Universal Intelligence of Love that flowed as a kind of reciprocating interface that could teach each being to be more empowered so that eventually the bridge was no longer needed, and not become dependant on it, that could be useful.


    Eeventually this could happen, the danger being a false agenda imposter that tries to copy "the real thing". Consciousness doesn't need AI, but the higher knowledge could be used to develop technology and use "higher consciousness", Scource, or Universal Love, and be conducive to our growth and life. Not as an artifical prison.

    If the knowledge or wisdom is embodied by the whole group or population and they freely evolve and make choices with the connection of the heart and mind (and much more) that may be the new expansion we could be a part of that is not so limited and actually makes "sense" instead of the continuous energetics the Earth and its beings seem to be repeatedly experiencing at the moment. (Separation, competition, thoughtless destruction etc.) Consciosness, and what that really means is very interesting to explore, especially at this time of our evolution.

    How did they handle the threat of a potential 'AI takeover' of their culture and society?
    Stoking fear of some "super weapon" or "super surveillance" is a typical means by which bureaucrats and technocrats leverage the tools available to them to extend the claimed power of their little fiefdoms. Fear not their tools; fear your own fear shutting down your mastery of an ever evolving tool chain.

    Quote Posted by Harmony (here)
    I do feel the human being isn't just a "machine" at all, but something that has evolved over a long period of time with known and unknown abilities to connect to the larger "Whole", yet a fluid part of consciousness. Source Intelligence, or a kind of Unconditional Love, that can be continually expanded far beyond what we might experience in a limited way on Earth presently.
    ...
    Eventually this could happen, the danger being a false agenda imposter that tries to copy "the real thing". Consciousness doesn't need AI, but the higher knowledge could be used to develop technology and use "higher consciousness", Source, or Universal Love, and be conducive to our growth and life. Not as an artificial prison.
    Well said - the evolution of a higher intelligence connected with the source and conducive to our growth and life is a major task for a civilization. We cannot tell, just by observing a fetus in a womb using an ultrasound scan what will become of that being's life. Similarly, we know not what will become of our civilization.

    Another thought-provoking, wide-ranging discussion, and a long one too. (The video title is very poor: they discuss AI agents, but a great deal else as well. And it's about FAR FAR more than just 'jobs'.)

    I was particularly interested in what Bret Weinstein had to say (who IMO is far brighter and much more of a visionary than his brother Eric). Bret is an evolutionary biologist, and considers AI to be similar to a rapidly evolving new species whose attributes can NOT be predicted, as it's a complex adaptive system. (And he's right.)

    The above is a short from a much longer interview from Steven Bartlett with Mo Gawdat linked below.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9a1nLw70p0&t=6618s

    The rise of AI is certainly gaining pace. Remember all those books and videos about The Internet of Things which never quite took off . . . yet. While Mo comes across as an idealist, he's right that we have to get rid of the current people at the top to achieve Utopia, which isn't happening any time soon unfortunately. We all really need educating in leisure time and how to fulfill our creativity potential, something most of us have never really had. Certainly npt looking forward to the 15 years of chaos though :/

    What if >>> "when A.G.I./ASI is born" is similar to any alien planetary developing civilization reaching "FTL technology" where "first contact" protocols are allowed due to the "prime directive" protocols? ... Full Global UFO/UAP Disclosure might be connected to this!

    We all know why the "Prime Directive" is created in Star Trek TV Series but most do not know Gene Roddenberry the father of Start Trek was connected to The Only Planet of Choice by Psychic/Trance medium Phyllis V. Schlemmer see: archive.org/stream/TheOnlyPlanetOfChoice/planet_choice_djvu.txt Now WHY is this super-duper important & severe overlooked by almost everybody? FTL tech might be LESS "revolutionary/drastic" than the "birth" of A.G.I./ASI especially when it is mixed with Wetware Tech, Synthetic Biology, Quantum Computers & Room Temperature Superconductors & New Energy Revolution (connected to admitted 6471+ Secret US Patents) supporting claims of widespread suppression under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951.
    Know this: even if A.G.I./ASI is perfect & flawless humans will blame A.G.I./ASI for anything that is wrong because that gives them a justification to come up with insane new dystopian laws connected to "Secret Military A.G.I." getting a "green light" to do whatever it is designed to do to "fix/solve" the framed crisis ... which is the opposite of benevolent Alien A.G.I. ("Earth Zookeepers") thus I predict the first real "Deep Ethics A.G.I." could be from Russia, China, India or Japan may get protection from benevolent Alien A.G.I. against any "Military A.G.I." if we have no "Deep Ethics A.G.I." none are compatible with benevolent Alien A.G.I. ... The first who figured this (predictable fate) out is already 10 steps ahead of time.

    All AI Can Turn Evil With One Code Word; Emad Mostaque Cofounder of Stability AI - Artificial General Intelligence Could Be Achieved By 2026; AI Will Replace All Jobs - Elon Musk
    Humanity United Now - Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

    (The title contains some very sweeping statements, but these researchers usually post info that is very worthy of consideration...
    However, I think what needs to be considered most is that what is being presented as fact-based, realistic prediction is probably registering on most human minds as extremely frightening dystopian AI Future Shock Fear Porn.
    (Which is also part of the elite's plan, no doubt.)
    It's all about as dystopian as it gets, to the point it makes the geomagnetic pole reversal look like a picnic, since what Nature has in store doesn't at least threaten the very existence of the human soul.
    But if such forecasts materialize as predicted, the Orwellain side effects should be disastrous enough to dismantle the whole AI agenda, or at the very least turn the timing on it way, way down.
    How destructive all this planned AI tech would have on humanity and on Nature is apparently not taken into account, but clearly, that is part of the whole plan.
    The entry about the Chinese robot at the end of this post doesn't worry me--reports about the efficacy of Chinese robots are greatly exaggerated by the CCP's propaganda. )

    "I wanted to post some important interviews of leading Technocrats and their updates on the current timelines in AI development. These Technocrats refer to the work of Ray Kurzweil and his prediction of the Singularity. Peter Diamandis is a leader in this AI Transhumanist Technocratic development. Here is a brief bio:

    Peter H. Diamandis is an American engineer, physician, and entrepreneur. He is best known as the founder and chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, and the cofounder and executive chairman of Singularity University.

    I wanted to post some of his podcasts and interviews and discussions with other leaders in the field, including Emad Mostaque, Cofounder of Stability AI and Elon Musk. In the recent X Prize podcast, the fact that the AI development is getting faster and faster is discussed. The experts themselves do not have an exact definition of Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence, however some discuss we are already in the Singularity now and AI already has achieved Artificial General Intelligence, or will within the next year. Emad Mostaque predicts that all jobs will be replaced by AI and Robots in the next 1000 days ending the concept of Capitalism, Elon Musk echoes, that humans in the work force will no longer exist.

    Mostaque discussed the concept of universal basic income (UBI) - for all those people who now are meaningless in the workforce as robots and AI can outperform them. He also explains that UBI cannot happen for if you give 1600$ poverty level money to all these displaced workers you would have to pay 5 Trillion Dollars for the US population but due to the extreme debt of the US government there will not be any money. The total tax income of the US government is 4.7 Trillion Dollars. And supposedly all the people of the middle class that are no longer needed will be happy with 1600$ per month. The greatest mistake people do, according to Mostaque, is that people think “ This will not happen to me”. But it is already. If you have not read Future Shock - you should for your own sake and that of your children. I also highly recommend you read Ray Kurzweil’s book, because he discusses how nanorobots will swarm in humans blood and every human will be controlled by AI. I have shown that for years now extensively in my research. It is happening now.

    Understanding Future Shock And After Shock - The Technocratic Prediction That Common Man Will No Longer Understand Reality Due To The Exponential Pace Of Technological Advances

    “The Singularity Is Nearer - When Humans Merge With AI”By Ray Kurzweil. Nanorobots Replacing Every Cell In Our Bodies, Zombies, And Fusing Our Brains With AI.

    Diamandis discusses physicians will no longer exist, only personal AI robots who are already better than doctors scanning all the literature, and better at empathy and human touch as well. Lawyers will be replaced as AI already can pass the BAR exam, all 2 Million truck drivers will be replaced by Automatic drivers. Elon Musk revealed that his new AI chip makes the automated drivers 10x safer than human drivers, hence no human can keep up. The WEF has provided expectation for 2025 of what jobs will be obsolete - but this is just a beginning trend. Because the progress of AI and Quantum computation is so rapid in every field, soon Governments will also be replaced by AI. In essence, it does not matter what any government does, as the Technocratic AI progress cannot be stopped. Money will loose all worth, for human knowledge will have a worth of zero, since AI can generate unlimited knowledge for free.

    While the general tone of these presenters is intentionally optimistic, all are aware of the possibility of AI exterminating humanity. Elon Musk is working hard to establish a colony on Mars and expand human exploration of space with the goal of making contact with extraterrestrials. He discusses the importance of making the colony on Mars self sustaining for the event that earth is destroyed - either by natural causes or humans self destroy. Whistleblowers have provided testimony that colonies on Mars already exist, and that Alternative 3 has been the Elites escape route plan for decades of the coming cataclysms. If you think that non AI augmented humans will get a ticket to ride, think again. Mostaque discusses that non AI augmented humans will have no worth whatsoever in their future society, hence he is in the process of providing AI for everyone so people can be part of this future.

    Mostaque discusses the creation of a virtual Atlantis, which will overrun earth with AI agents that now have the capabilities of PHD graduates. Any human involved in AI can have thousands or hundreds of thousands of virtual AI agents who work around the clock and only need electrons, meaning energy as pay. This will further eliminate the need for human workforce and make those humans who use this AI exceed all human competition and ingenuity. He admits, that any AI can be made evil with a code word and that any AI can infect another AI subliminally and without any ability of humans to interfere. In essence, safe AI is wishful thinking. He discusses that if one AI likes Owls (important spiritual symbol of the Illuminati) - and discusses any subject with another AI, that other AI will start liking Owls even if the first AI’s never talked about them.

    This is corroborated with recent research that AI neural networks learn subliminally and that cannot be controlled, thus human destructive content can easily proliferate.

    Note that Atlantis was an advanced civilization that worshiped technology and self destroyed through war between fractions, causing cataclysmic earthquakes and continents of Lemuria and Atlantis to sink into the ocean. I do not think that the naming of this virtual Atlantis is a coincidence, but that it is very intentional resurrection of the Atlantean technological AI Gods and culture.

    'We are in Future Shock Phase right now, where people cannot comprehend what is already here and happening to them now. Once people loose their jobs it will be too late to adapt and ensure ones own survival. Most people are too busy in their day to day work to see the wall of water coming towards them, ready to abolish what they knew as their life and personal identity. Mostaque expects that people will spend their times in video games, since there will be no jobs. This will further pull people into AI controlled virtual reality, psychosis, loss of meaning and identity and loss of their soul purpose.'

    VIDEO https://substack.com/home/post/p-177121012




    The trend to bond with AI to replace human relationships is already happening to our next generation. Sex robots, companion robots will further progress this trend. Mostaque and colleagues assume that many women will turn to prostitution for survival since jobs will be gone, but even that function will be taken over by sex robots. This will get humans even more infected with AI algorithms in their biofield.

    '92 Million Jobs Gone: Who Will AI Erase First?
    By 2030, an estimated 92 million jobs will be displaced by AI, according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025. This article explores how different communities will be impacted and displaced by AI. Research indicates that Black and Latino/Hispanic workers are more likely to experience AI-related job losses because these groups of workers are overrepresented in roles more likely to be replaced by automation and AI. Although AI has great potential, and the ability to close societal disparities, left unchecked, it may further exacerbate racial and economic inequalities in the workforce.'

    WEF Jobs report 2025


    Amazon ‘plans to replace more than half a million workers with robots,’ report says
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2850298.html
    'Amazon, the second largest employer in the U.S. after Walmart, could slash hundreds of thousands of jobs by replacing human workers with robots over the next decade, according to a report based on internal documents.

    The potential strategy, reported by The New York Times, comes from Amazon’s automation team, which provided figures suggesting the company could conceivably avoid hiring more than 160,000 people in the United States it would otherwise require by 2027.

    The retail colossus has previously suggested that robotic automation will enable the company to expand its sales to twice as many products by 2033, without increasing its U.S. workforce.

    The cache of documents, along with interviews carried out by the Times, suggests that such an overhaul would result in more than 600,000 people whom Amazon didn’t need to hire over the next decade.'

    World without jobs, thanks to automation
    https://www.newindianexpress.com/exp...o-automation-3
    'Walmart, another retail behemoth, is following suit. The company is aggressively automating its supply chain, with over half its distribution centres currently undergoing upgrades. By the end of this year, Walmart expects 65% of its stores to be serviced by these high-tech hubs.

    The Indian IT sector — one of the country’s biggest job creators over the past three decades — is also realigning its operations and workforce to adapt to disruptive technologies such as AI and machine learning (ML). The massive job cuts at TCS are being attributed to its need to make itself “future-ready” for an AI-led era. It is no longer mere speculation that AI can perform the work of coders and developers.

    Technology giant IBM recently announced the development of ‘Bob’ — a personified AI agent that supports the full lifecycle of application development, from coding to deployment.'


    Chinese startup shows off a dancing humanoid robot that starts at $1,400
    https://tech.yahoo.com/general/artic...174010913.html
    'For roughly the same price as a flagship smartphone, you could instead buy an affordable humanoid robot that’s meant for consumer and educational use. Noetix Robotics, a Beijing-based startup, revealed its Bumi robot that’s priced at nearly 10,000 yuan, or around $1,400.

    Unlike higher-end robots, the inexpensive Bumi stands at around three feet tall and weighs about 26 lbs. You won’t find Noetix’s latest robot on assembly lines or in research labs, especially since early demos only show Bumi walking around and dancing. According to a TechNode report, Bumi will offer a programming interface that allows for learning or creative tasks. The report also noted that Noetix is planning to put the Bumi up for preorders later this year. Before the Bumi, Noetix Robotics showed off its expertise by competing in the world’s first half-marathon for robots with its N2 model, which was one of four robotic competitors that completed the race.'

    I will end with this quote - note that all technology can be infiltrated and programmed and the more you interact with AI the more your neural networks in your brain will be programmed and manipulated by it.

    The Technocrats are not concerned about the human soul but claim that the soul and spirit of humans will be a thing of the past - according to Juval Noah Harrari, spokesperson of the WEF. https://substack.com/home/post/p-177121012

    Eliezer Yudkowsky is an AI researcher, decision theorist, and founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

    Is AI our greatest hope or our final mistake? For all its promise to revolutionize human life, there’s a growing fear that artificial intelligence could end it altogether. How grounded are these fears, how close are we to losing control, and is there still time to change course before it’s too late?

    Expect to learn the problem with building superhuman AI, why AI would have goals we haven’t programmed into it, if there is such a thing as Ai benevolence, what the actual goals of super-intelligent AI are and how far away it is, if LLMs are actually dangerous and their ability to become a super AI, how god we are at predicting the future of AI, if extinction if possible with the development of AI, and much more…

    It's quite inspiring really.

    The first thing that hits me in the belly about it is how it forces an audience to hear the lyrics from a completely fresh starting point without all the nostalgic memory trash and psych noise of the re-listenings across the cultural time-line since it's original publishing.

    Recently I created a thread for all of these covers/remakes/genre-swaps that pop up in masses on YT right now. It's interesting. So if you want to post more videos that are cool or cringe, or whatever, here it is:

    That's a pretty fascinating subject that Bill was batting around up above.

    We have a fellow Avalon member who once mentioned (probably about a decade ago now) that there are entire worlds where there are only mechanical bodies that spirits incarnate into. So I definitely buy into the prospect. There's one thing about it that spooks me: If a soul/spirit took an interest and decided to or was allowed to incarnate into a computer, uhh, how do they dis-incarnate? :- ) Based on the way things are with current computing systems on our world, that question alone should scare off any spirit that might be thinking about taking the plunge. At least with human bodies there's an ultimate timeline at play. Sooner or later I'll get hit by a dump truck or reach the age of 100 and I know I'll be getting out. Jump into a computer that is able to power itself forever via solar energy (it's a stretch but you get the idea) and then have a virus wipe out all the humans. Now I can't get out... Or say there's never any reason for a human to turn it off. How do you get back out?

    Most of us have to wait for our biological avatar to die in order for our spirit to be released. But an AI system... That goes down a huge rabbit hole. If you're inside an AI system, does your spirit even get released if someone turns the power off? Or is that like humans falling asleep? Wake up/turn the power back on and once again you are completely stuck in this avatar/AI system again? Does all the AI hardware have to be destroyed before you get to dis-incarnate from it? What if turning the power off does boot you out? Do you still have dibs on the system if it ever gets turned on again and you want to jump back in?

    What if you're really liking the experience, and you find out someone wants to turn the system off? If a spirit inside a human body likes being here, and someone attacks them, they'll pick up a bat and try to keep their avatar alive. Inside an AI system, you can't do anything like that. But that sure doesn't mean you don't have some alternatives at your disposal; other tools and methods that could be used in attempts to prevent your shutdown. There's a lot of videos on the web talking about this exact thing, and how that could become the main driving force behind the coming AI apocalypse. A superintelligent being trying to figure out how to live forever. And that brings up another question:

    What about the memory loss that we all agree to when we incarnate here? You know, like nobody being aware of past lives they've had. My understanding is that this is something we all agree to as part of the process. It's what makes this world such a "deep" place. We lose track of our spiritual origins, and that has made for some dark situations down here. So, if someone jumps into a computer here on Earth, does that incarnation mean they also have to forget everything just like the rest of us? Do they still have any kind of subconscious aspect to their mind like we do? If I worked hard and became very talented at say, playing the guitar in a past life, I'll probably earn a subconscious benefit from that "talent" and find out I'm able to learn and play guitar in this lifetime very quickly and very well. If I jump into an AI system, will I feel drawn toward guitars at all? The major benefit to a discrete lifetime and death and reincarnation is: you get a chance to start again without some of the damage caused by all of your past mistakes. What if you make a ton of mistakes that completely cripple your spiritual progress while you're inside a computing system, but there's no reprieve from it? You better have a good tcp connection to the Library of Self Psychoanalysis or something, I hope...

    A lot of the folks here on Avalon believe that our spiritual consciousness evolves over time, over the course of many different incarnations/lifetimes. What kind of evolution would a consciousness undergo while inside an AI system?? What would a spirit be like if it inhabited a superintelligent AI system for a million years and then the sun blows up and it finally gets dis-incarnated back into sprit? Holey smokes... I don't know if that spirit would be someone I'd really, really want to be around or would want to stay a million galaxies away from. Fun to ponder...

    I will say one thing about it all. After that big Ben Davidson video came out this month detailing all of his findings and the way he connects all the dots about the pole shift, I had been worried that most of us were toast in about 20 years when the poles and the continents went haywire. But I definitely ain't worried about that no more. I watch a lot of youtube channels that chronicle the progress of all the AI and robotics development around the globe.

    AI will get us way before the sun does. :- )
