It is different in that school will get sucked into the AI hype and your kid will not even be able to go to school without AI.

Drugs is much easier than AI because AI will be pushed on your kid by society.

@Leo Gura ah damn I didn't even think about that. Kid aside, even I don't want to live in a world where everything around me is AI-augmented in terms of meaning, writing, etc. That's quite depressing. 

Tbh its probably already likely happening, but just the start of it. Billboards, posters, food items, everything. There likely will be no escaping it just like how devices have become an integral part of society that is quite hard to escape.

@Leo Gura on a side note, I've been observing your recent replies and I'm not sure but I don't think you commented at all or much on the war with Iran? Not that I'm depending on this, but it would be valuable to hear your thoughts on it .. unless you're planning an episode on the entire fiasco or something? 

This is the first time I have people, family from around the world affected by this, even hearing the sounds of the attacks and shaking of the windows. This seems somewhat unprecedented.

@Jayson G Wait till they convince the masses that it's best for your kid to have all his teachers replaced with AI teachers. That is coming.

@Leo Gura I connected with my history teacher after 10+ years and he basically confirmed that this is already happening. They're making his life much harder, AI and the students.

Creating religions is the future. But it will be a collaborative effort instead of resulting in wars. It's a beautiful possibility.

Forget game design. What about Religion Design? That's ART.

I feel like art is basically a form of Creation but Creation goes well beyond art.  Art is what is agreed to be creation.  

This is a good video to get started on this investigation:

I recently bought a Bombardino Cocodrilo lapel pin to serve as a symbolic representation of a particular aspect of Creativity — no matter how ugly, derivative, hallucinatory, chaotic, brainrotting it all is, AI slop is still ultimately God's imagination. I envision it will be a useful facilitation tool for me to go deeper into the Insanity facet, especially paired with deliriants.
A clever little reframing of the issue. (though also silly 🤤)

@Leo Gura thanks for putting us on to John Blow- he's a deep guy. I find the below interview interesting on AI Consciousness.

 

Timestamp 4:37 --they can't help but chalk Consciousness up to some atomic process happening in the brain. They have a thoughtful perspective, but its corrupted because they misunderstand Consciousness.

Of course AI can't achieve human consciousness, cause no human ever had it in the first place.
