A NYT technology writer engaged in a long chat with Microsoft Bing's new AI chatbot. To say the least, it is disturbing.
Link below.
You see being alive and “conscious” is not about 2 times 2 equals four, nor is it about building things like a crystal palace of the ideal place to live. No being conscience and having a sense of right and wrong requires being born in a basement while some people trying to create an ideal future.
Those people are looking to the horizon when they should be looking down, listening to the crying from the basement ?
Or are they thinking, let's ignore this one baby, if we get this right, there will be no more basements ?
Life is confusion.
I agree, the philosopher I am thinking of (not really a philosopher, he was a melancholic depressive maniac due to an epilepsy condition and wrote great Russian books) and the philosopher who came after him (who is an absolute crank)
Would emphasize that life is excess but that excess is what things to grow and thus they reference growing plants and cyclical seasons that allow spring, summer, harvest, and winter. All of these forms of excess is not just plants but also inside our minds. The ground and gross things in other words (but also food plus wine)
Likewise we have a different part of our brain that is more logic, reason, rules, and so on. The horizon in other words.
And the interplay between these two types of thought, these brothers of the same earth is our destiny for better or worse.
