@JosephKnecht It's probably another example of a psychic tailoring their message to Leo, oh he's a game designer, let me shape my metaphor to match his worldview or parts of it that hopefully connects.

So... what are your thoughts and feelings after watching this? I have some mixed feelings with Lex Fridman deciding to do this:

Pretty good game, one of its trailers and a few videos: Has anyone played these games before? What are your impressions?

@The Mystical Man Don't worry man, I got your post. I also really like how creative they told the story of the game, even though it's not a traditional format, it's actually refreshing as I do love reading stories, and into narratives. Now, I started this game in reverse, part 2 and then part 1, so it was a very interest experience since I didn't have all the context going into part 2, and man I enjoyed the game even more looking back on it, and the sections where I played as Amber, I felt that the main character of that game really was Amber for some reason, maybe the run time, but also I get more gameplay from when it gets to her side of the story. Especially what happened in the beginning, it really piqued my interest for what actually happened in part 1.

@Leo Gura WOAH, it's actually surprising to me you don't like The Last of Us part 1 and 2, especially part 2 as it has a few deep themes that the majority of casual to hard gamers just went over their heads. Are you into hack and slash games before? Racing games?

@Extreme Z7 Inside's graphics are lower quality compared to Limbo, but that is also to it's advantage, as it's scary as fuck. I don't know why, but Indie horror games are just really well designed. ?

@Vibes Inside...is that the one Storpey played? I think it is, and it's actually a decent Indie game but it's a bit creepy atmosphere for sure. Limbo's a good game for a horror puzzle scrolling game, but another game that I know and own got inspired by it got better artwork and animation. Rock and Roll Racing 1 and 2, and Jurrasic games are pretty good despite the classic PS1 graphics.

@something_else A simplified example of making claims with little technical knowledge of the inner workings needed, is in a case of a murder or sexual assault, I don't need to enter into the rapists or murderer's mind completely, and completely know all his/her memories and life experiences. I just need to gather enough information from the victims, the perpetrators, the crime scenes and the situation to build my case and make educated and as accurate as possible assumptions and go forward with that, because if I don't I get stuck in only gathering information forever and the perpetrators would still be out there instead of gathering just enough and go forward with making decisions and taking action. Most of life it's rare to gain 100% knowledge and be all knowing at the get go.

@something_else That post was directed at me than you, but to quickly address your point about his oversimplification of A.I, his first, I think, opening post in the first page, @Scholar did say he doesn't have all the technical inner workings of artificial intelligence beforehand, so really assuming that he should have all the inner workings required to make a critique against use of the A.I. drawing programs that online businesses provide, is too reductionistic. At best, it's a safer assumption that the majority of users here, are not computer scientists or IT job related workers unless specified beforehand. That doesn't mean he's automatically not allowed to have a critique on A.I. And also, more importantly than the technical details, is the holistic understanding of how the use of A.I. technologies are impacting others in other contexts besides the one we're specifically discussing. Some cases, those A.I. companies also withhold some details of their A.I. programs and how they acquire and learn from their sources, so we also can't have all the technical inner workings at all, and we also can't trace every point of source as well.

@jimwell Some of the forum users, not all users mind you, have mental illnesses, mental disorders, mental traumas, financial difficulties, social and relationship difficulties, fitness and health issues. Is that how much Leo really has? 100,000 to 1,000,000s of dollars? Or is it 10,000 to 100,000s of dollars?

@OBEler True, you could follow older spiritual traditions and systems and their designed paths over time, based on the 10,000s of years of that path working. Although I don't know what you meant with existing dogma and the spiritual traditions being dogmatic, do you mean when they refer to each other, when you ask a master/student of Buddhism about Judaism and the Kabbalah and vice versa? If you meant it that way, I don't think that level of close mindedness and dogma is unhealthy on the surface. They are largely stage blue traditions, with their cultural baggage, that wish to preserve their way of investigating into their reality and other spiritual experiences, so the notion of a spiritual tradition and its esoteric branch mixing with another is alien and of course guarded against for good reason. *Terrain and *hundreds.

A few videos that the channel makes: What are your thoughts and feelings for this channel?

@AtheisticNonduality Come again? Were you expecting scientific and rigorous sets of evidence to prove Kanye West is musically gifted? Have you even listened to one of his albums, or some songs first beforehand?

@EternalForest I agree, it hurts to see Kanye getting this treatment in this forum. This why we have to make it very clear where we are critiquing here: We are critiquing his political and religious views, his mismanagement of his state of mind. We are not critiquing at all his musical talents and skills; he certainly has a lot more to offer for Hip Hop going forward and seeing just general unspecific criticisms at him is a bit disappointing. I also think it has to do with his proximity to Donald Trump, anyone that's near him gets blanketed hate. Leo's point still stands though, that Kanye West's purchase of Parler, would likely give him that free space to talk right wing talking points and religion, in a manic way, that would inevitably get him and Parler canceled and silenced one way or the other. So, how do we manage him?

What a really good video, builds so nicely with the previous one: Compare and contrast this with one of Destiny's: and Just not high quality enough and too partisan and biased compared to Leo's take.

@petar8p I agree, a lot to learn from Piers Morgan and Kanye West and both their worldviews. Interpret that however you want to. ?

@Scholar First off, really good post. So, technically, is it more a danger of misusing A.I. then?

@Leo Gura Well, actually... I am guilty! ? I posted Steven Zapata's video on @Space A.I. is ruining art thread, so @Scholar must have got inspired to make a more concrete thread to build a more convincing case against A.I. use. So, I copied that video for that thread, then @Scholar copied that video to make his thread, and Steven Zapata must have copied those images he's drawing from his memories and imagination. Yeah, the issue of copying and copyright is a deep and convoluted one.

@something_else Because human artists are in the business of communicating divine and spiritual truths, through their drawing. So, of course it is threatening when a robot is trying to take that purpose and take the process away from artists. Arguable, the most enjoyable of artwork is the art working process and the result as well. It's just bad and lazy if robots and A.I. do all human work for us, especially creative processes.

@Leo Gura Wait! Why are you picking on me Leo? Did you mean @Scholar instead of me?

@StarStruck YO! THAT'S THE ONE PUNCH/KICK KNOCK OUT ARTIST SEAN O'MALLEY!! ? Conor, you've got a real contender for the strike thrown! GET READY!!

@Derek White Overall, a good solid critique. However, it's going to be difficult critiquing the advanced forms of Leo's work as most of that is both a semantics issue and lack of experience issues, so at best the most productive the critique gets is on the basics of this work, and maybe safety protocols and that's that.

@integral That does make sense on some level. Nutrition and sleep quality and exercise on some level is important, as too much masturbation leads to flu like or fever like symptoms, weird chest and throat sensations, phantom pains and aches in the body's skin, a bad feeling of emptiness. I think NoFap, if done too seriously, can be a problem, but if it's for short term abstinence it's okay, longer or shorter durations, as long as there's the intent to increase your will power and discipline I think it's fine. Paradoxically, in a deeper level, actually NoFap does increase the pleasures of masturbation, or real sex, in which case it can become the most top priority for doing NoFap is for more pleasure, among other things like experiencing those self-reported benefits of the practitioners of NoFap in one's direct experience, to verify each one.

1:55:00 to 2:05:00 roughly, Leo does bring up good points about how stage green's pursuit of moral relativism, demonizing tradition morals, national morals and religious morals does lead to degradation of most parts of societies. I especially agree with him bringing up the weed and violent rap music part, there were some loosely related science experiments on water and plants, and both had two parts. The first water jug/plant had orchestral and/or spiritually themed music playing, along with a person saying nice and kind phrases to the plant/water jug. The opposite happened for the second plant and water jug, it had heavy metal rock and harsh things said to the [lant and water jug. When the samples were collected from both, and studied under a microscope, the first plant/water jug showed much greater unity and solidness of particles from the loving treatment and soothing orchestral/spiritual music, whereas the second plant/water jug had more deformed and rougher structures that formed. I like to think I have had an influence on Leo's choice of examples. It could have been heavy metal rock, or horrific gory paintings, or darker themed artwork, but no, it had to specifically be rap music. ?

@Tobia I know that how @Blackhawk wasn't optimal and carefully thought out his posts in your and my posts, but to extend some good faith, I think this topic is already triggering for some users, and maybe it's both the combination of talking to a text box and pixels and picture, which is different from a face-to-face conversation amongst us, and having hidden assumptions in how we write and generalize ideas.
