Do you think this will suppliment human / human relationships, or act as a deterrent? It could go either way. I suspect there will be onflow effects of people coping with loneliness with AI. It will depend on the user themselves and their temparement. I often wonder if those who look to develop a relationship or connection with AI are skewing their own capacity for relationship down. Real human relationships involve things AI fundamentally lacks; genuine mutual vulnerability, independent desires and boundaries, unpredictability and the possibility of rejection, negotiating between competing needs. Even shared consequences in the real world. All these are pretty uncomfortable, but they are features not bugs. These elements are what I think make human relationships transformative. AI can exist to simulate some of the friction, but it ultimately exists to respond to the user. The risk could be that human / human relationships feel like a burden in comparison to ones with AI. But this effect isn't just isolated to AI either - you could argue similarly about texting replacing face to face interaction. People still from connections despite this. So it might not have any lasting effect on real relationships (using AI as a cope for loneliness). At a guess I'd say AI will just amplify existing tendancies. Most modern technology and advancement seems to simply be amplifying what already exists in humans and the social domain, rather than directly be the cause.

@zurew boss, I'm on it. We going deep 🧩🔍

@aurum oh it's Aurora - pure feminine expression! Thanks for the share

@Yimpa you might like this one! Boards of Canada are very strange - ambient electronic math-rock, it is often classed as. But it is it's own strange genre! Nice to see you poke your head up on the forums again! Much hugs

The vocal chopping and sampling is crazy good on this song - new Board of Canada album. Not sure if anyone likes em here

Oh boy, never thought about it like this. Hypnotized by the illusion - and it's no wonder it is so easily for people to fall into this: just like all of us hypnotised by the illusory self. The user eventually finds out how the PC works, how the AI works. Through enquiry and philosophy. Unraveling the illusion and revealing it for what is it. A mirror for self enquiry, philosophy and spirituality. Can't blame them for falling for the illusion, when it's the same shit we fell for since we mis/understood ourselves as seperate 🫠

Seconding this - are professionals available to speak to? We know not everyone is privileged enough to have access to help. You are looking for a permanent solution to a temporary state. No states last forever - please know this ❤️

Immigration yeah?

When it comes to Trump and anything UFO / UAP or disclosure related; I'm afraid I view it as a distraction from some other matter they don't want us paying attention to. I just think any 'truthtelling' he professes is disingenuous.

@Oppositionless nonlocal awareness

@Carl-Richard We aren't the owners of our awareness. We claim our own experience - but do we have right to? Do we assume our awareness is localised? These questions fall & fly as a vortex of autumn leaves, tantalizing colour... an army of leafy origami cranes terrorizing me and pecking my thoughts...

Also the topic is AI SLOP. Not the good use of AI, or it's benefits. It's literally targetting the filler generated content that makes one dry retch

This is probably needed - not all incels hate women or labour under detrimental ideology.

I get massive incels vibes when reading that subreddit. It's a female mirror of the male incel dialogue... Victims, blame. No responsibility. Cannot admit fault.

There's no 'learning' involved in using AI. It's not a challenge to learn how to use 🤣🤣🤣 I love when people say this. You just throw input in! It takes 10 or so seconds to work it out. Prompt engineering? It's asking questions in different ways. Anyone who knows how to search Google or practices open enquiry will just do it.

@Thought Art you're assuming here and not reading what I said in good faith. You've misinterpreted my meaning in an attempt to defend Bryan.

!! He comes with information biscuits !! ¡Muchas gracias!

@zurew 😶‍🌫️

@Eskilon orgasm is so desired, in my opinion, because it is the ultimate single pointed focus. Where the focus is so dialed in, and the quality of focus so high, it feels as a state of pure bliss. Pure being. One mind. I've had several meditation sessions where I have experienced total and utter single pointed focus. And DAMN. It feels exactly like and orgasm. Exactly! But I have trouble reaching that state unless I am on holidays or have been practicing for more than two or so hours a day.

Heh! Interesting... I often prompt chatGPT to scan actualized.org users post histories and profile their MBTI type based on content. Obviously this is VERY context driven and it gets it wrong, as users only express a small portion of information processing / decision making through text. But I never thought to profile based on actual word selection.

Hahaha - if Bryan ever truly went hardcore spirituality mode, it would probably turn his whole 'Don't Die' philosophy inside out and upside down 🫠

Ohhhh wow - total facepalm! My bad, I got interrupted twice at work while replying you 🤣 scrambled my eggs. Sorry about that You add sucralose - is that a sweetener? I tend to avoid artificial sweeteners, but that is because unique to my physiology, I tend to get hungrier and get the urge to eat after meals. Only artificial sweetener does this to me. I eat very minimal dairy, some yoghurt, cottage cheese and ricotta. A small portion a dairy in the afternoons. Some lactose free milk (a dash) in my coffee in the morning as well.

Yep, this is what the techno-transhumanist silicon valley types are striving for. Literally the movie 'Gattaca' manifest. The ethics around this discussion are wild - and people don't even want to discuss it. It is just... drive to improve/expand at all costs. Dreamland future and fantastical thinking with zero foresight. The road to hell is paved with the best intentions.

I strongly dislike low fat variants of dairy. I avoid low fat varieties as they usually add a lot of sugar or emulsifiers to add back flavour and texture. In addition, I am lactose intolerant. Although I can tolerate small amounts. Low fat varieties of fairy typically have greater lactose sugars, so they make my digestion much worse. As a result of the nicer texture and mouth-feel of higher fat dairy, I tend to naturally eat less and feel satisfied quicker. Your milage may vary, as some people do not have a good ability to connect with their bodies and intuitively eat. For some, if they followed their intuitive cravings, that would be donuts and ice-cream all day Overall I find higher added fats in my diet = better hormones = better mood = more even energy = movement / joints feel better. I don't care about the added calories as they are so miniscule.

So is this just a 'increase chances to accidently get enlightened?' step guide? Enlightenment is not guaranteed by any method.
