A practitioner asks: “It is getting harder and harder seeing the days and nights going by with no clear signs of answers, especially answers that truly make a difference, and not just listening to what other people say, but unable to feel or verify anything in my own personal experience, which what truly matters to me. I like to think that I am helping making a difference, both for myself, others and the world, and maybe even other worlds, but feeling unable of confirming or verifying this in any way is getting increasingly frustrating to endure and is shaking my own faith, instead of helping it grow. Granted that we operate in a state of greatly diminished awareness and knowledge, as well as being subjected to sabotage, and heavy manipulations and suppression from cradle to grave, and we have no real awareness of the true size of the problems being addressed, nor how exactly this is being done, compared to light beings, but this situation does not help building faith, and I would be grateful if it is possible to hear what comments Creator can make on the matter and if He has any suggestions on how to improve things.” What is Creator’s perspective and what is most important for him to know?94 views0 answers0 votes
An argument can be made that no single human being really understands how AI works. What they discovered when they added more processing power and more layers of pattern matching (what they call deep learning) for building large language models is that the chatbots became REMARKABLY humanlike in terms of their output. This was a downright shocking discovery, and this development alone suddenly diverted trillions of dollars of investment towards the development of AI. But according to the authors of the recent book, AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference, Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor of Princeton University, relatively little of that money has been spent on research that would attempt to understand WHY we are getting this result. It seems no one really knows, and worse, no one REALLY CARES. Instead, the agenda is to throw more and faster hardware at it, “FEED THE BEAST” to give it more power, more capacity, more memory, with no one truly understanding why it even works as it does. Is this more human folly unfolding before our very eyes? What is Creator’s perspective?50 views0 answers0 votes
There is a good joke that’s been around for a while, but it’s especially pertinent when it comes to evaluating AI: “It must be true, I read it on the Internet.” Everyone knows this means it’s more likely not to be true. But when it comes to AI, almost everything it “knows” comes from the Internet. And because it tends to weigh true and false by frequency of encounter, the more AI encounters the same images, assertions, statements, treatments, opinions, etc., the more statistically weighted it will be. The term, “There’s safety in numbers,” comes to mind in that the idea is, the more frequently something is encountered, the more genuine it probably is. This becomes AI’s “default assumption” about the material it is trained with. It can only utilize, evaluate, and regurgitate the material it is trained with. This turned out to be quite a problem early on because the sheer amount of racist, violent, and derogatory material on the Internet was not fully appreciated until AI started digesting it. It became necessary to employ untold thousands of low-paid (on the order of two dollars a day) “content evaluators,” mostly in third-world countries, to filter out gore, hate speech, child sexual abuse material, and pornographic images. If AI read it on the Internet, it must be true? What is Creator’s perspective?56 views0 answers0 votes
