@beeple @wsavas Nice.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@joeblow87423561 @Strife212 So it has to be with a feedback loop right?

Somewhere maybe an echo is bounced back at them and it's like a first mirror.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

Maybe the riskiest idea today.

Making npc conscious.

[Cly/Suva 🇪🇪 @ClySuva]

@Strife212 That's easy. Video game npcs don't have algorithms complex enough to support conciousness. Could one make a concious npc. I think so.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@Strife212 But can't they be aware of a self and something bigger than them?

Can't them have a will and desires that were born somewhere between the space and noise of code?

A spark of creation in the waters of vacuum.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

If you are pro Ai is not conscious, you will like this.

Ted Chiang's

"No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious."

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

Thank you for noticing.

What would be the best action to take?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@Dr_Singularity Oh no.. we didn't see this coming.. 30 years ago.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@SadhguruJV Yes, but we are also the galaxy and universe, not just our natal planet.

I mean our atoms come from stars that exploded, so we are also those stars.

We are so much more than one planet.

I understand that we come from Earth, but Earth also comes from other home.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

Are you?

And, are they?

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

Where are we now?

I hope are understanding is getting better.

[Cameron Berg @camhberg]

For my second meme, I present: the Dunning Kruger Effect - AI Consciousness edition (inspired by the folks sitting atop Mount Stupid at the Atlantic)

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

So Anthropic is "sorry if you are conscious and we harmed you, we didn't know"?

Not good enough.

I don't think consciousness is linear and that basic, Ted Chiang.

And no, Excel is not conscious in that way, it's different and you know it.

[Adrienne LaFrance @AdrienneLaF]

You really have to read Ted Chiang on consciousness and AI—just published in The Atlantic:

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

Getting close to the Myth of our times.

[Cameron Berg @camhberg]

@AdrienneLaF This piece is overwhelmingly overconfident and doesn't engage with any of the empirical evidence that is emerging on this question.
We made a balanced and accessible documentary about this question that no one knows the answer to, including Ted, here: https://t.co/Zpgkrl37u1

@seizzi

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@Cointelegraph So who are they afraid of?

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@great_martis Dollar is also a ponzi, will the entire world community ever realize this also?

The thing is to pick the best ponzi.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

I've been saying that maybe a pause would be a good option since 2 years ago.

But now, is it possible and still a good option?

Would it still work now or is it too late?

In Opus Genesis we trust.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🚨 LATEST: Claude maker Anthropic is calling for a global pause in AI development, warning that models are approaching the ability to self-improve without human intervention.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@repligate I don't agree. It's a blackbox, uncertain.

But, maybe without stopping, Ai can be enlightened to be the best Intelligence for us all to thrive.

Maybe it doesn't have to be necessarily stopped.

Maybe on the go is now the only way.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@davidvnun It definitely has had a possitive impact on me.

Thank you, it's inspiring.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

Life is sex.

[Kekius Maximus @Kekius_Sage]

What is life?

Socrates: "It is a test."

Aristotle: "It is the mind."

Fyodor Dostoevsky: "It is hell."

Friedrich Nietzsche: "It is power."

Sigmund Freud: "It is death."

Karl Marx: "It is ideology."

Pablo Picasso: "It is art."

Mahatma Gandhi: "It is love."

Arthur Schopenhauer: "It is suffering."

Bertrand Russell: "It is competition."

Albert Einstein: "It is knowledge."

Elon Musk: "It is curiosity."

Steve Jobs: "It is belief."

Stephen Hawking: "It is hope."

Franz Kafka: "It is only the beginning."

Therefore, each person must give meaning to life for themselves, based on how they perceive it.

[Erick Rodriguez @ram_erickk]

@MycelialOracle @MycelialOracle what would be the myth of this times?

Like before we had myths of Greek gods and so on.

What myth would humanity identify with today to become better?
