WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!
a similation isnt real. the world and people are real. therefore, we are not in a simulation. the end. what a waste of brain power
Ai is all about the size of memory. Ai will never become as intelligent as humans because it lacks one thing, a soul, and mankind will never be able to create one. Trust me, we are too thick. If a man can kill a man because he looked at him the wrong way, then we are still cavemen!
I became an instant fan of Donald. Not only does he explains these concepts so well, he also seems very humble 💚
Does this mean I am "everyone" and after "I" die "my" consciousness will move to another entity? If yes, that sounds like hell to me. Because it means I will experience every form of extreme suffering.
can we agree he has glasses, and that his ears stick out?
Honestly man, I love your podcasts! I appreciate that you take the time to clarify what has been said and that you make sure your listeners do not misunderstand what was said. I always know when you are confused. You get very quiet and the corner of your mouth turns downward. It is a good signal for me to pay more attention to ensure I understood what was said. Thank you for being great at what you do!
But my love, my suffering is real even if everything else seems fake
I’m not scared of AI either. As an artist I make the same decisions using AI as I use in any other tradition medium of art.
Prisoners of your own makeing are you? Now imagine that all vibrations are free to do anything that it wanted to do you know that the Black holes in the Galactica of the multiple verses are the Balancers of waves to behave in the mixes of every single thing that's around you.Yes that is why vibrations are not so stronger than the limits of falling into the silence of Black Holes 😅😅😅
I will give you a hint remember Jesus said that if you can see the smallest thing you would see God. Now Let me give you a hint. If you dream you create a world you are living in. You can not hold it together long enough to live a life time in. But think you have the power of the mind of God you could create the world and create everything in it and you create the other people in the dream, but unlike you the other beings are a part of you even though the thinking they do is not the dream creation it is a part of you in them, now you have the basic answer.
How did I get here & what have you done with my clothes?
Um, so the "feeling" is that everything emerges from consciousness. And from whence did consciousness emerge? Leibniz' left armpit? Chicken and eggface.
1:12:38 I would like a explanation on why it is impossible.
It. Is NOT… Impossible try most likely probable
The host has very hard time grasping this theory lol
The host is too attached to the idea of a computer simulation instead of it being produced by consciousness where everybody is living in their own matrix creating this reality.
No theory that could explain how AIs could be conscious? Isn't that true for explaining how we are consciousness?
I really want the cheat codes for this game ……😫😫😫
"they couldn't get chicken right that's why chicken taste like everything" but they knew enough to enslave us. …. The Matrix
THIS IS FUTILE. IF THIS IS A SIMILATION, IT'S REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT YOU CAN NOT KNOW, SEE OR UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE CURRENT SIMULATION. IT'S A PERFECT PRISON, LEARN TO ENJOY IT. How do i know this is a simulation? It's predictable: most people first initial reaction will be to comment on my caps and not on the idea itself. Some, a bit more intelligent, will recognize that and resist that impulse or some more advance will ignore my caps and engage with the idea itself and some will react in some other way. All predictable
