He he he - yes I have used some prompts of a similar nature. AI's always prompt me to ask myself why I post on this forum, interestingly. For some reason they lacked the intuition to understand how I find growth from being provoked egoically. I use LLMs a lot. But I consider it to be like speaking to someone on this forum, or in real life; I simply cannot take what is said as truth. Merely provide an alternate view to consider. For work I occasionally use it to navigate emotionally charged meetings; I am quick to call people out when they are wrong. This totally irritates and fucks up engineers and architects because to them I am just the lowly builder. Coupled with me being a tiny woman who presents as gentle and accommodating, this really makes people feel 'betrayed'; I am betraying their expections. They expect me to defer to them and not question. The questioning of methods of construction and WHY things are done how they are is taken as an offense. They want me to revert to capitulation and adhere to expections. They do not consider I might have input that can reduce costs and time. AI frequently gives me strategies to approach different people's egoic reactions to 1) calm them down 2) refocus them to the goal and 3) temper my own words so I am not so brutal with facts. Unfortunately you cannot avoid egos anywhere. And due to me requiring all discussions involving decisions being on writing, I have the great advantage of using AI and having the time to craft a strategy. You would be amazed at how sensitive others are to ONE word or phrase being altered. The emotional game behind work gets more results than just performing actions and expecting results. Once I started using LLMs more for this it made my work easier and I started to hit every KPI 😄 I pretty much don't need them so much anymore for this. Now I tend to query mechanisms and alternate methods I can use materials in a system.

I had a CT scan and MRI initially. Then I worked with a small team and neuropsychologist to rehab my cognitive abilities. Luckily when I went through initial physical therapy I didn't suffer much in terms of balance etc. My main issues were temporary emotional disregulation. I saw a psychologist for this. CBT and emotional regulation training. I also did lots of mindfulness work for nervous system regulation and environmental management. An interesting side effect of the TBI and rehab was becoming aware of, and gaining a greater depth of understanding behind, the mechanics of my own feeling and emotion systems. I feel the majority of my consciousness work came from this domain and then branched out to truth, philosophy. Have you looked into peptides for your father's recovery? There is some confusion around peptides as they are a new branch of medicines that are used in cosmetic, recovery, muscle growth, healing, insulin treatment and weight loss. In particular BPC-157, TB-500 or Semax. These are all peptides that are showing promise for application in treatment of TBI. I will put forward a warning - these sorts of treatments should come from a solid source through a doctor. Ideally from a compounding pharmacy. There are contaminants created in synthetic peptides that needs to be removed.

If you operate from truth there is no need for any external structure of morality, in my view.

@YIDIRYIDIR gotcha ᕙ⁠(⁠＠⁠°⁠▽⁠°⁠＠⁠)⁠ᕗ Ngl I deal with much more AI hate and fear mongering off the forums than on. To the extent it has been banned as a topic at all work functions.

I think it is just the overinflated hype most users are against. In particular the overselling is to generate revenue and exploit those who might not understand the topic. If you read the topics there is more nuance than most simply hating on AI. Even those here who are more against it recognise its merit. I think only a couple of users are full on anti-ai.

@UnbornTao creation only guarantees origin. Not authority over outcomes. Emotions are partly automatic. They can also be generated indirectly. Control in this case typically means regulation, not creation. Emotions are generally feedback signals about our internal state. Notice it, observe the emotion. Do not identify with it. Let it pass. This will assist bringing clarity to the listening experience (to make this topic relevant). You aren't going to ever completely control this process.

@Yimpa ngaw you are so fucken BASED It is a funny experience seeing things from different perspectives. Hopefully the medical system takes steps to see and receive women's issues with an earnest desire to understand 🙏

Do we know how it is programmed?

Anyway, a conversation for some other topic.

@UnbornTao there can only be clarity when you understand and perceive them. Anything else is self deception. You can have distance from them, but we do not have ultimate control. If we aren't aware of them, we simply arent interocepting. They are outside our consciousness. So to think they are absent for this reason is something to be wary of.

I disagree entirely. It is hubris to me to think we can listen and be severed from emotion. There is awareness of them, which can lead to spaciousness. And they are generated by us. This does not mean there is control. C'est la vie

Do you think you can listen and not involve emotions?

This is rolling back into the truth of personal integrity also - actions reflecting words and intent. Congurancy and coherence. Recognition of Self in all.

How can we verify the corrections are right? I always think on this when using ai for any contemplation. It makes me aware I could be outsourcing authority.

@LordFall that line of reasoning won't work if you don't truly understand what consciousness is.
