A true era of ignorance, looking like an ocean of nonsense in which no one can really navigate as it is ungrounded in reality.

Idiocracy presents a naively gentle positive version of such future but there are many darker ones possible.

Kali Yuga, indeed.

LLMs stealing content and regurgitating it for money is an illegal extraction of informational value. The fact that our governments have not taken steps to seek balance of rewards for the authors is unforgivable.

It is possible, there are many ways, some people are curious about this state and lean into it, most are not. Who does, or doesn’t, and when, in my experience, is matter of grace. So no need to worry about it.

I see it as something that happens to me rather than caused by willpower. Much like a memory or a flashback that then transports you.

It’s direct, effortless, always available, takes no time.

Easily done in any situation of passivity including meetings. Recommended during stand ups ;)

Attention is on the full body, and the field of perception, then field of awareness, all at the same time.

A bit like shavasana practice, but instead of scanning part by part, expand presence to everything.

The thinking analytical mind stops, the nonthinking mind activates and softly intensifies.

LLMs do not replace jobs, managers constantly try to increase profit. Managers and business owners try to replace people’s jobs via automation.

LLM companies actively try to convince managers and business owners that LLMs are capable of replacing humans in white collar jobs.

An LLM/AI will not replace you, or me.

A business owner or manager might. They also might use an LLM to make decisions.

But let’s not use language which anctively obscures the decision makers in this process.

Code generators that do not have understanding or intent are limited in their ability to express them precisely.

It is an incredible book and I feel grateful for it.

What if genetic memory, multigenerational conditioning, life-long patterning and conditioning, experienced in a body, combined with forces and processes not yet detected nor explained, cannot quite fit in a sliver of modeling?

Recently I edited a few images requiring removing extra people from the frame and I was able to do all editing in Lightroom, in seconds.

As much as I dislike Adobe, Lightroom’s shortcuts and flow are now habits.

I will likely continue using both.

All the best in your job search. I hope that the industry will come to its senses sooner than later.

And when I read about the concept of all matter and all consciousness inhabiting each other just as they did prior and during the big bang.

“I don’t know” would be so much more productive and respectful than “here, this may be useful or completely useless, figure it out on your own time. Took me 30 seconds to produce…”

A bit asymmetrical by time, signal to noise, and frankly, bs metrics.

It has been learned very well.

The brazen violation of intellectual property was a precondition of making this technology useful. Taking the risk of breaking the law at this unprecedented scale was an informed decision made based on this very lesson.

Processes are more efficient, machines are faster, workers are easily replaceable. The quality and complexity of the product is limited by these requirements.
