I would only use an external interface for very brief moments, for example if there is something super abstract in my imagination that I would like to express in a more concrete way. I feel that too much of that brain interfacing type stuff will have negative side effects for the consciousness work we are doing here. (you can get exactly the same answers from an external AI, ie who cares about a few seconds delay if you can keep your brain safe and healthy.)

@integral So at least we agree that there is a potential solution for mass poverty. I think the model in that video is a bit rigid and does not take into account the tremendous benefits in abundance that AI could bring about once it gets going properly. I'm not sure when this will be, but I feel that at some point AI generated abundance will become so prolific that the whole concept of wealth and competition will become slightly redundant. After universal basic income is accepted, the next logical progression will be universal high income. Once everyone has the time and means to do their art, consciousness work, go travelling etc - what more do we really want then from the few who are in power ? And I say it is a bit rigid, because it assumes that the people who are in power will always be psychopaths or halfwits. I really do feel there will come a time when people who have a bit more integrity will also be elected to real positions of power. Otherwise someone like Sanders wouldn't even exist in the first place. (And paradoxically all the suffering that will be caused by the Trump presidency, might just lead to exactly that kind of political miracle in the not too distant future.)

@integral I just watched that video. It sure paints a bleak picture. But I get it, these are the harsh realities of the survival of power. And I understand your North Korean example. But what about a country like Norway. Lets say that tomorrow AI goes into full swing and most of the people lose their jobs there. Do you really think a reasonably civilized country like Norway would just let most of its citizens starve ? And what if at some point someone like Bernie Sanders gets into power. (Which is not impossible, because there's probably going to be a big backlash after the current presidency is done.) Surely it's possible for someone like Sanders to do something from the goodness of his heart, or just from a place of common sense at least. ps if the US government allowed most of it's citizens to starve there would definitely be some kind of a revolution, and probably a revolt in the army itself. Because people in the army have family and friends who are not in the army. Ultimately I feel it would be less of a hassle for the rulers of a country like the US to at least just give its population a universal basic income. Especially when AI developments eventually make it easy to afford.

The reasons would include: avoiding loads of Luigi type assassination attempts, stepping over starving people every time they leave the house, pitchforks and mass riots everywhere, basically not to be surrounded by a mad max environment when stepping outside at all. And to still keep some kind of a gene pool going. Otherwise there'd be no one left to worship them. They wouldn't like that. What would a king be without anyone to rule over ?

If your turning women down, that means they like you. Simply plan the kind of dates you can afford right now. Instead of a fancy restaurant go to a coffeeshop on a saturday morning etc. I can feel your frustration. Find creative ways to influence the amount of connection and fun you experience on a daily basis.

Well he's saying that the manual labor robots will be working 24/7. So im guessing theres going to be this abundance of everything and no wages to be paid, which will make universal basic income possible, and eventually even universal high income.

He predicting 1 billion robots on the planet by 2040. Robot industry will surpass car industry by then. No more human teachers, doctors etc. Expertise will be free. Seems quite a sincere guy. He don't like capitalism because of the advertising trying to convince people to buy things they don't really need. Sometimes all this AI stuff makes me feel like the aliens are already here. @Leo Gura Please can you make a video about your alien consciousness experiences ? I think it would be amazing.

What is preventing you from giving yourself something nice to look forward to ever week, even while you are doing a job you might not like. For example, going on a date every friday night etc. To get back to one of those laws you mentioned. The law of assumption for example, simply means to take a strong position in assuming that your wish has already been fullfilled. Like living from the end backwards. Playing with that concept can be usefull, in that it can help to remove the sense of lack after a while, and make the journey more enjoyable.

Interesting, what got you into this niche ?

You dont feel comfortable, understandably so, in sharing the name of the particular porn niche on a relatively smaller public forum like this, but you're okay sharing the actual videos with millions of people out there. Yeah right.

Good going bro, you're infinitely worthy.

Maybe i misunderstood you, are you planning on making porn just for your own private use, or will it be available for the public to view also ?

Which means you also wont be 'brave'/foolish enough to make your own porn for the public.

Throat is usually related to self expression. Are you comfortable speaking your truth with confidence ? Can also be related to speaking up for yourself.

Whats your hyper specific niche ?
