There has been some recent stuff with AIand metashit.
Honestly, it seems seriously scary for society. We are already having it seriously hard. But somehow it seems inevitable as it is mostly already here.
I think we need a sermon about this.
Here's a video talking about the recent ai developments in details: https://youtu.be/KYqEK_T_5M4
Value and hold closely all of what it means to be human. Once that’s gone, we will only be able to rediscover what is left. See and be seen. Create. Always leave remnants for the future. Your future self and others. This is why we have to value and hold dearly what we have, but also participate in those changes. The past only reminds us and can be utilized but developing ourselves and our lives around a present and future tense is something to accept to a degree. The risk of technology creating our own mental and overall societal “prison-cell” is already happening so everyone should be diminishing the effects of this to the best of their ability yet using it to their advantage when it’s under control.
The “Age of Capricorn” is something to heavily think about and en masse, plan for. Looking to what we want to prevent and what is inevitable.
Someone told me of a dream where it was during this age, and that the gods were then known about and there was almost this post apocalyptic setting rife with AI teaching even of the Gods. And humans working alongside these AI, without it necessarily taking over. That was a dream though and the future is always a rift. But that’s not a bad way to see things.
I currently take steps, very small ones, to educate my kids on technology, influence, and addiction. The way that manipulation happens. I don’t put it past them to understand this concept as my own mom did. Through just a little suggestion I understood inherently that media portrayals aren’t real and I honestly believe this has benefitted me up into adulthood. And never to be a “copy-cat”, to always value individuality in this current world in myself and others based on where things are.
Even in schools there is no way to dodge any of this, even for kids. I listen a lot to those high in the field and their advice on this.
I currently think very poorly of anyone or anything that is too divisive and I’m adapting around high conflict people and settings as well - because social conflict increases all because of it.
