This is one of the best technical explanations of the architecture of linguistic contextual meaning and abstraction.
If you want to know how AI/LLMs actually know all the nuances of what words mean, watch this. This isn't just technical, it has some profound insights about how mind works, how context works, how abstraction works, how meaning works.
When people say that AI is just predicting the next word or just an advanced spellchecker or word calculator, they're misunderstanding how profound the structure of AI is. It's doing a lot more than "just" predicting words. This structure of abstraction and contextualization is one of the most important scientific and engineering breakthroughs in human history, on par with E=mc2 or calculus. People are not in awe of this discovery enough. Mankind has cracked the mysterious mechanism of abstraction. That's as important as discovering electricity and it happened under the radar just a few years ago such that people are still playing catch-up.
A deep Tier 2 communication from Jordan Hall:
Few comprehend the significance of perspective this high.
This is brilliant:
That is mature, Tier 2 spirituality.
Do you see how much work it takes to reach this degree of spiritual understanding and maturity?
Do you see how far mankind is from such a stage of development on average?
The self-help industry, especially anyone associated with Tony Robbins, is such a shameless grift. Here's a prime example of how the grift works:
This is just milking of celebrity and charisma for profit.
One of the most disappointing aspects of the self-help industry is how it has been turned into a vapid hyper-capitalist money-making machine. These people have turned the selling of self-help into a pathetic incestuous formula. It's such a shocking level of corruption once you learn the behind-the-scenes of this industry. These people are utterly delusional. It's like a secular version of prosperity gospel.
So, there's two lessons here:
1) Don't fall for such grifts. Distinguish genuine development work from fake capitalistic self-help.
2) Don't become such a grifter yourself. Don't get sucked into the self-help grifter ecosystem because it is corruption and it will corrupt your consciousness.
The self-help industry is as corrupt as politics, social media, Wall Street, corporate culture, and religion.
And third lesson for you here: notice how effective charisma is for selling bullshit. Never again be fooled by charisma. You should be intelligent enough to see right through it. The deepest insights and lessons you will learn in life will not come with a charismatic delivery. The deeper an insight is, the less charisma it needs. The shallower a thing is the more charisma is needs to sell it. The deepest teachers have the ability to be charismatic but they lay charisma aside because they are conscious and mature enough to know that it is inappropriate to use charisma to manipulate their students. Being influenced by charisma is for fools.
According the physics, the notion of there being simultaneous events is deconstructed:
It is amazing how poorly people grasp the significance of relativity. People honestly walk around arguing how abortion is wrong or natural property rights, but they do not even understand that the physical nose and the tail of their dog do not exist at the absolute same time because your dog's nose and tail are separated in space-time!
Really contemplate the significance of this to how humans understand reality. This is not just academic, this undermines the entire way humans understand what reality is.
Reality is so metaphysically twisted that you cannot even say that the nose and tail of your dog exist at the same time! The simultaneity of your dog as a unified object is a relative assumption. Until you comprehend that, what talk can there be of morality, right & wrong, good & evil, property rights, human rights, and so on.
The perfect illustration of how humanity corrupts God with its own survival:
When we say that religion is stupid, this is why. Religion is a corruption of God by mixing God with human survival agenda. This clip makes it look silly, but if you look at how humans use God/spirituality in their lives, it's not far off from this clip. Humans use God as a survival tool, and they genuinely have no understanding that there's anything wrong that. Humans don't really want God, what they want is God as a tool to serve their petty human biases and needs. You want God to help you earn more money, make you more popular, give you sex, breed your children, give you political power, and spread your human mind viruses across the land. You want God to make you feel good. You want God to endorse your judgments and criticisms. You want God to align with your historical ethnic fantasies. You want God to anoint your tribe and damn your enemies. You want God to endorse your silly political views. You want God to make you successful. You want God to feed red meat to your ego. And perhaps, most of all, you want God's Love to be the grotesque, selfish, pathetic love that you have mistaken for your survival. And when God doesn't do those things you get quizzical and find some way to rationalize it without changing anything fundamental in your view of reality, humanity, or yourself.
How can God or Love be understood when this is what humans want spirituality to be?
By the way, this is also a perfect parody of Trumpism.
