@Yimpa I'll ask Gemini about this.

@Yimpa Thx! Btw what made you send that link to a specific blog post from Leo? Does it have something to do with what my signature is pointing to?

@Yimpa True because you have encountered the ineffable which means it can never be reduced to descriptions or even have descriptions properly point to it.

Physicalism assumes that reality is a machine (a very complicated one) and believes that everything including subjective experience can be reduced to mere physical and mechanical processes/interactions. We are having growing evidence that this fails as a fundamental and ontological framework. 1. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem - No formal system can capture the absolute 2. Hempel's Dilemma - The word "physical" cannot properly define itself without it contradicting itself 3. The Hard Problem of Consciousness 4. The John Von Neumann chain in quantum mechanics 5. Psychedelic studies showing that less brain activity causes a greater experience (Proof brain is a reducing valve rather than a creator of consciousness) 6. The 2022 Nobel Prize proving that the universe is not locally real 7. The work of Essentia Foundation started by Dr. Bernardo Kastrup 8. Syntax to Semantics Gap 9. Formula to Is Gap Would like to know your guys's thoughts on this.

Intelligence is from semantics, not syntax. AI is syntax only and since syntax has no intrinsic value, it therefore can never get true intelligence.

@Jirh True because the ego always has a survival bias. Ironically science does not understand the ego enough because IT is being controlled by the very ego it cannot understand or prove.

@Leo Gura They are making less than 10% of what they need for this investment in AGI to be considered "reasonable". Those who think AI has real understanding are completely clueless about the syntax to semantics gap. They are having a profit loss of over 90% I think. I get super annoyed when people ignore the fact that this AGI hype is a bubble. The data center surge has gone too far at the point of badly damaging the environment and the economy. I am glad more and more people are rejecting this bullshit half baked hollow hype on a house of cards.

@Leo Gura Will you ever in the future make a full on video deconstructing the AI hype on your main channel but at a deeper level that questions the notions of intelligence, understanding, reasoning, etc?

@OBEler I think he means regular use of LLMs. Good programmers will thrive with AI because they know how to use it properly. However if you are learning coding, AI can hurt your learning as you will be tempted to take shortcuts instead of actually properly studying the materials.

@Leo Gura This case is so tragic. It is going to damage the reputation of psychedelics even more. Most people throw out the baby with the bathwater unfortunately.

@Leo Gura Makes sense. Btw have you mentioned Connor Murphy in any of your videos? Just curious. If yes which ones?

@Leo Gura Can you soon make a video deconstructing the myth of AI? I feel it is important during this time as the bubble is just getting bigger and bigger and also I am super tired of the notion that AI WILL become conscious.

@Leo Gura What's the difference between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT? Which one is more intense? Just curious.

@Leo Gura What topics does the book cover so far? I'm really hoping it helps the most dogmatic of skeptics and materialists realize just how circular their worldview actually is. And how many volumes will your book be split into? And will you also publish it on Apple Books?

@Joseph Maynor True but if we compare him to other science communicators, he is the worst and has the worst fanbase. I was shocked when I first heard about his tweets. Man he will never care or stop.
