Sorry, but this essay is BS from the get go. The future visioned here won't happen (at least not in 10 years) because even the assessment of the present situation is massively wrong. It supposes that we basically solved "intelligence" with the LLM architecture and we just need to scale it up and do some algorithmic refinement. It supposes that GPT-4 is on par with a smart high schooler regarding intelligence. This is far from the truth. GPT-4 has very little intelligence, if at all. It is a relatively simple process based on stochastic data-retrieving and shallow pattern matching. But the lack of intelligence is more or less compensated with the gigantic amount of data it was trained on. Given certain boundary conditions it looks like intelligence but it's not. And scaling it up will not lead to AGI, that is to "real" intelligence that humans have. "We don't understand AI. I assume only 1000 people really understand AI on the world." - Hence the hype. Actually many people understand how these AI models work, it's not a mystery. What they don't understand is how their minds work and what intelligence is. And they don't understand their own projections on AI, either. "It is alarming/amazing to read." - Yes, like a sci-fi, but I cannot take it seriously. Instead, I would suggest Francois Chollet's writing 'On the Measure of Intelligence' (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.01547). He clarifies some basic distinctions about intelligence.

Love is associated with feminine energy. If this is correct, and God is Love, then God would have only feminine qualities. This seems not to be the case. If love is not just feminine, what does the masculine side of love look like? -

Let's suppose there is a range from lower forms of love (cheap, sentimental, "romantic", chemically-induced, ego-based, emotional, survival oriented attachment) to higher forms of love (unconditional, "spiritual", pure, real love). How can I distinguish the two forms of love? What is common in them? Where is motherly love in this scale? Is it just cheap biology or real love? -

Let's suppose everything is Love and God is Love. Does this mean that if I have to choose between "mind" and "heart", then the heart-based decision is always better? Does this mean that "good feelings" imply more consciusness and are closer to God than intelligent and "objective" decisions? (I don't think so) Is the feeling of love a prerequisite for acting out of love? Can I be loving without "feeling" love? If my choice and action is based on genuine feeling of love, does this mean that I accumulate "good karma" (even if I cause suffering with that)? What is the relationship between the feeling of love and real acts of love?
