    Review of OpenAI
    Review of OpenAI

    A snippet from Journalist Karen Hao on Sam Altman, OpenAI & the “Quasi-Religious” Push for Artificial Intelligence talk on youtube.

    Talking about the Maori tribe in New Zealand wanting to get people to learn Maori to keep their language alive without big tech companies taking their intellectual property:

    (31:43 in the talk) There’s plenty of research that shows when you have highly curated small data sets you can actually create very powerful AI models and then once they had that tool they were able to do exactly what they wanted to open source this educational resource to their community.

    And so my vision for AI development in the future is to have more small task specific AI models that are not trained on vast polluted data sets but small curated datasets and therefore only need small amounts of computational power and can be deployed in challenges that we actual need to tackle for humanity … (climate change, drug discovery)

    Karen Hao wrote Empire of AI, a big book on silicon valley ambitions with AI.

    She talks about BOOMERs and DOOMERs:

    BOOMERS: it’s gonna be great! Utopia.
    DOOMERS: it’s gonna be the Terminator!

    She talks about Sam Altman as being a very Machiavellian character, who’s intent on ruling the world via Tech.

  • The Shark Whisperer

    I just watched a Netflix documentary called The Shark Whisperer. There are many videos of her swimming with really large sharks around Hawaii, a very David Attenborough kind of beautiful cinematography.

    The Promised God-Man Is Here has a leela about Avatar Adi Da Samraj interacting with orcas, killer whales at an amusement park that He went to in 1984. Adi Da had front row seats but the orcas were not doing anything… Craig Lessor went to ask the man in charge why the show wasn’t happening:

    He found the man almost in tears. “I don’t understand he moaned. They always do it. At that moment, Craig said, he glanced over to where Avatar Adi Da was sitting, and he noticed that the Ruchira Avatar was intently Regarding the whales. Not only that, His hands were moving in mudras of Spiritual Transmission.

    Craig continued, “You were the reason why the whales were not performing. You were the One behind the whole thing! They were not going to do any jumping–because they were in Samadhi.”

    Avatar Adi Da laughed. He did not deny the ‘Trick’ that day had been His. He simply said: Human beings are not the only beings that I Work with.”

    Avatar Adi Da Samraj: But the humanized animals here, they think they are supposed to being doing all kinds of things, instead of contemplation….

    Human beings are the only species that does this here. The others are all living ages of contemplation. They know the world is not a paradise. It is not to be made into an “eternity”–nor is it presumed or imagined that it could be. They know this very well. So they use conditional existence as a circumstance of contemplation.–pages 585-589

  • Meditation

    “We sat in the magnificently potent and simple Meditation Hall called “Extraordinary Eyes”. It was the most significant meditation of my life. I simply woke up. It became tacitly, obviously, perfectly evident that there was simply One Person. There was only this Conscious One, Who Acknowledged His own Blissful Existence. I could observe Sri Da Kalki’s bodily (human) Form, my own body, and the room itself floating in his Being.”

    from Love of the God-Man, page 608

    Yantra

    “Yantra literally means loom, instrument or machine. In actual practice, a yantra is a symbol which represents aspects of the divine, such as the Mother Goddess or Durga. It is made of interlocking geometric figures, circles, triangles and floral shapes that form a pattern.” from Wikipedia

    Amusing post by the Primeagen, where he nuances how to use AI while coding. Don’t be lazy, but let AI help you.
