No, but seriously, how will AI be able to experience emotions like us ?

You right, lets not derail the thread, all I can say is, don't worry, our government is way more corrupt than yours. "Well precisely That is what is so scary (to us) about this whole thing. That there is no distinction between human and synthetic mind. Notice that only solipsism overcomes this dilemma." Please can you say a bit more about what you wrote here ? (quoted from your AI thread)

Boring, what are you on about. You did something right in a past life to be born in America. I'll visit again when Trump is gone. (Heard too many horror stories of tourists arriving at the airport, and then mistakenly get shipped off to go and live with gangsters in a prison in Haiti. Jesus)

I have an Irish friend, it's contagious

"To be conscious is to have subjective, internal experiences—the "feeling" of what it is like to be you. It encompasses your waking awareness, individual sensations, emotions, and the unique way you perceive the world around you. [1, 2, 3, 4] Philosophers and scientists divide consciousness into two primary components: [1] Phenomenal Experience (Qualia): This is the raw "feel" of things, like the taste of a cup of coffee at a local Cape Town Cafe, the specific hue of a sunset, or the ache of a headache. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Access/Reflective Consciousness: This is the ability to actively process information, think about your own thoughts (metacognition), and direct your attention intentionally. [1, 2]" Okay, so firstly, how will AI be able to experience emotions the way that we do ?

South Africa, and you ?

I see even Peter Diamandis' latest podcast has as it's heading something about Claude being conscious, I haven't listened yet though.

Thank God

I must admit, I found it a bit strange when you said that your experience of life hasn't changed one iota. Surely, with the sense of a separate self not being in the way anymore, so to speak, things will flow a bit smoother ? ie no resistance as such.

That would be hilarious Hey, who knows

Lets not try to exclude people from the conversation just because they don't have the technical know how. Would it ever be possible for AI to receive some kind of divine inspiration, outside of the physical channels and logical processes it normally receives or creates info. Human genius Aha moments don't necessarily just come from percolating existing ideas.

Ha ha, since you brought up the name Tom, for you personally my new name will now be Sri Tom

Thanks man, it's Wilhelm, I get good vibes from you also.

Thank you

God bless you Dave

Thank you, I agree, respect the relative.

I don't doubt your ability to communicate with devas. I would be more curious about investigating the sense of a separate me.

So if most spiritual teachers are wrong, what is your advice for all the seekers out there ?

Well said.

Not knocking you at all, I love being bamboozled.

You don't think some of them actually have some integrity, and are speaking from direct experience ?

There must be some serious neuroscientists partnering with some serious AI developers ,somewhere, trying to get an actual breakthrough sooner than we think ?

Aha, yeah you right.

Surely it can't be that impossible ?

You don't see super AGI anywhere near the horizon ?
