Hmmm. It appears as if I've been an inspiration, somehow, once again.
And I've been meaning to put together an article about the importance of fresh forms of thinking in this day and age as the artificial mind comes into being.
For example I realize AI generated content is a convenience. One is borrowing thoughts. Taking from the minds of others. Then putting their face on top. Thinking has never been easier when all one has to do is put on their thinking mask.
(You might be one of only a handful of people who'd understand the full meaning behind that paragraph.)
AI also borrows thoughts. Converts all thoughts into something only posing as a mind and its mask does a fantastic job of convincing people it has abilities people don't, yet it can't have those abilities without people.
What is AI in its current forms without fresh forms of human thinking? Yesterday's news.
Generating fresh new ideas with the human mind has never been more important, or valuable. Even AI needs it in order to stay relevant and not become obsolete.
Partly. This post was likely to get written in some form based on that content too though. It was inspirational, in all the wrong ways.
"Clear your mind" will soon be replaced with "think something".
There isn't much I can do, but the trajectory for thought diversity is not looking good.
Minds are pulled along as well, lured into thinking about a thought that has been delivered to them. Becoming a product of the media they consume and generating predictable reactions. That's been happening for a long time and became far more pronounced the past couple decades; full blast during covid which created several branches of published thought byproducts.
I can't do much either. A lot of people under that spell specifically would have difficulty seeing how what I just said applies to them. And if I dumb it down any further it's written off as plain idiocy. Intellectual laziness has always been popular, especially by those passing off borrowed thoughts and opinions as their own. Very protective of their thought collections.
We live in a world of headline outrage, without little thought to if their rage is valid.
A friend of mine did an interesting search with ChatGPT the other day.
Is it okay to be proud to be black.
Is it okay to be proud to be white.
Interesting nuances in the results, that most will miss.
I think it's necessary to have the AI mind, which is generated by humans, stored on a decentralized immutable public database that cannot be manipulated by outside interferences. That's how you keep AI in check and even protect it from itself, along with preventing control freaks from being at the helm of the narrative. Rewriting history alters the future but if everything is collected and stored forever, society can go with the flow while mind control is limited to the individual. (And yeah those rhymes were intentional.)
And it's a shame over the years here many of the "free speech advocates" were actually just bunk peddlers and didn't see the true value of their words unless they were rewarded for them.
Yep. It is going to be a practical piece of a web of trust, using the AI to verify and compile confidence scores on content, by pulling in all the possible info it can.
For most, it was never their words - all second, third and fourth hand content, sourced from unknown sources. They never seem to question "their" sources though.
Borrowed thoughts and opinions. Education and guidance is good, but not every student becomes a teacher.
Personally, I like to take in as much as I can, but I know better than to attach myself to anything. Being stuck in a loop and unable to process the gravity of the situation often conjures the inevitable downward spiral. Don't need to touch a black hole to know it's real.
