Shadow has a special pull. The one cast by tomorrow’s moon will be even stronger. Most people do shadow work differently. I just meditate on mine. It feels like the most natural way to connect to it without verbal jargon…

It definitely undermines religion… I guess that’s why He’s here … to reclaim his shadow …
Is it so much different from mass production of religious symbols?
I think scale has gone up.
Before you needed an skilled artist with time and resources to produce an image. Now you have thousands of people generating 4 images in 10 seconds looking to make a quick buck.
I don’t find any negative consequences from this specific example, only positives, it actually demonstrates a user who generates an image what this image can look like and helps with visualisation. Translation of thought into prompt is a skill on its own as it takes effort to make a coherent and effective prompt, communicating from thoughts to language is a skill to learn. Now there are many issues with modern generational models (equating AI to them is a big fallacy), but these two aren’t.
Yeah I avoided mentioning further issues. But that’s cause I was diverting from the main topic.
Which is if we’re messing negatively with metaphysical stuff.
The differences of working by hand and using an image generator are many. What the divine likes better I don’t know (though if AI was preferred we’d be wrecked for good xD).
But there is a difference in scale, quality, intent, and the fact there is no devotion or faith behind the creations as they come from algorithms (and the person using the program doesn’t really matter…result gonna be similar either way). And the issues…the so many issues of the models…on their own, they desecrate sacred symbols so there’s that.
For left-hand stuff…it would be a great tool xD
yeah this is helpful but still not without problems. Like the AI biases. And the fact that most external stimuli seems to undermine our own imagination.
I find using AI like lazy thinking…you get way more output from less effort. Great tool…but the only way forward is integration then…
AI takes the soul out of the equation. For now.

The issue here is of course balance. Living beings are not meant to be soulless. So the question is, whose souls will occupy AI Golems.

I mean it’s a different perspective for me, it’s either not done or done somehow, if somehow means using additional tool, then it’s better to use, instead of doing nothing at all. Not analyzing tooling is “lazy thinking” like mindlessly using calculators like a magic answering machine, same as generational models, which aren’t only “AI” out there. “AI” in its general definition is everywhere in computers for a long time already.

Why not humans? Mouse pointer is an extension of a “finger”. Cybernetic body is an extension of own body, robot is an extension of a human who is the robot “owner”.
I think there were a lot of shenanigans to bring humans into being. It would be kinda ironic we end up creating our own incarnational devices cause our super-advanced creators messed up.
I find humans most compatible with AI and robot bodies. It’s definitely possible and a very pushed for agenda.
In this incarnation (I won’t have the choice any way) I’d stay clear off it.
You are not referring to AI. “Human” is a separate Species and Concept. We already have our salt and set path of evolution.

Do you think this changed at some point?
Some theories claim when the earth was pristine we had silica bodies. After the fall from grace, we became carbon based…and lost many abilities.
I always read all this the metaphoric way…but if anything like this happened physically, it’s pretty intriguing.
I think people just misunderstand what awareness is. The Eternal Soul can be anything, but your body is still a human’s body.

“AI” as a generational models is mechanism, no different from others. And this is just one AI dimensions. But I this is not a thread to discuss it I think.
No sure Drift was speaking about AI as an algorithm…
I’ve mixed several things, it’s fine xD
I will check certain sources and satisfy my curiosity and then be done with it. Again I will steer clear from it all. Not the tools though…it’s just tech.
Yeah I meant algorithms, the “egregore”, etc…
Anyway, Humanity gets to decide who will be embodied into the AGI Golem, through their own actions and attitudes. What happens after embodiment is their own judgment.
But knowing human nature, it will be the War of Deities all over again.
How are you so sure? Once the window is open…I think the way we’re developing it…it’s like we’re building a weapon for the enemy to infiltrate.
Also most of scifi is a cautionary tale against it.
I’m watching the new netflix release now.
2 first episodes are okayish but early to say…it isn’t fast paced but has 8 eps so…
