Something Funny

@Leo Gura I see

@Leo Gura I can see a vision of a person practicing their own art becoming an amazing artist in 10 years and a person creating AI songs getting pretty much nowhere because anyone can learn his skillset in a few months of practice. Sure there is potential. But that is an Open AI's potential or whatever other AI company's potential. You are not the Wright brother in this analogy! You are a passenger in an already made commercial plane, or a test driver in an early plane model, if we are being generous. There is no serious skill growth opportunities or potential for your own personal development with AI prompting. Does AI have huge potential for giant projects like movies, tv shows, games, etc.? Sure. But this has nothing to do with you becoming a better artist. People forget that art, in its original form is about skill expression and creativity. Not about creating giant entertainment industries, pushing out blockbuster movies and making money. This issue actually predates the AI. The most efficient way to depict a landscape it to take a photo of it, not to sit there for hours and draw it by hand. The most efficient way to make clothes is to order them from some Chinese factory, not to try to sew them yourself or go to a tailor. But that's not the point! And even if your goal was to get a job in one of those industries, they are not going to hire a guy who did ai prompts for 10 years. They are going to hire a guy who is a legit artist or a legit creative director with great portfolio and 10 years of job experience, and who also has some skills with AI, which aren't hard to acquire. It's either this or there will be complete automation with zero people required at all. Neither of this scenarios involves hiring a random AI prompt guy off the street.

AI generated qi gong follow alongs incoming?

@Leo Gura I agree with @Thought Art in that I don't really see how creating AI songs translates to combining this work work with creativity and art. At least in my mind, it would require a deep understanding of this work and a deep mastery of creativity and art. You can create an AI song about spiral dynamics (or any of your videos really) after running into them and watching the channel for one day. No serious work in either fields is necessary. I agree that, as a proof of concept, it would be cool if people started integrated spirituality and consciousness in their actual art. Regarding the song itself, I like the tune but the lyrics are too blatant and crude in my opinion. You can tell that AI just used some keywords from spiral dynamics to create them vs using some more deeper subtle metaphors and poetry or possibly even just sound, without voice at all. Trying to fit all of spiral dynamics in 4 minute song didn't do them any favors either. And I think this actually highlights the issue of the lack of artistry, a living person, with good mastery of his craft and understanding of spiral dynamics would probably go for a different format. I've seen artists do whole albums meant to be listened in order, build around a single story. And I think it represented each stage in a rather shallow way, focusing mostly on the issues with each. Not to mention that it skipped yellow altogether.

@Leo Gura I see, thank you. Also, do you still find value in doing 20 min / 30 min / 1 hour of meditation daily, on top of long sessions that you do on weekends and retreats? Or do you think that short daily practice is not necessary?

@Leo Gura when you say that you need to meditate for 20-200 hours to start seriously challenging and rewiring your brain or to shift your consciousness, what do you really mean by that? As a person who has never meditated this long, its really hard for me to picture the changes. Do you feel noticably different? What happens to your consciousness when you hit 200 hour mark? Also, will whatever feeling / change in consciousness it is go away after some time, like with psychedelics. Or do you notice some permanent changes? What do they look/feel like?

Oh wow, @Leo Gura you have been really treating us with the release schedule recently

@Leo Gura yeah, I know, you are right.

I know this is not a voting thing, but I really wish Joe would keep his corrupt hands away from Leo's work.

@Leo Gura thanks a lot.

@Leo Gura can you make a new video about meditation or at least a blog poss?

I see. Also, how do you meditate for that long every day? Do you sit motionless or do you walk around, or lay on your back? Whenever I tried to sit is a standard cross legged meditation for more than an hours, my back would give out and I would start shaking and stuff.

lol

If one were to do this, would you eat and cook or do you just drink water?

Ok, thank you for clarifying.
