3/3 D. Dannett:
AI is filling the digital world with fake intentional systems, fake minds, fake people, that we are almost irresistibly drawn to treat as if they were real, as if they really had beliefs and desires. And ... we won't be able to take our attention away from them.

... [for] the current #AI #LLM .., like ChatGPT and GPT-4, their goal is truthiness, not truth.

#LLM are more like historical fiction writers than historians.

2/3 D. Dannett:
the most toxic meme today ... is the idea that truth doesn't matter, that truth is just relative, that there's no such thing as establishing the truth of anything. Your truth, my truth, we're all entitled to our own truths.

That's pernicious, it's attractive to many people, and it is used to exploit people in all sorts of nefarious ways.

The truth really does matter.

1/3 Great philosofer Daniel Dannett, before passing away, had a chance to share thoghts on AI which are still quite relevant:
1. The most toxic meme right now - is the idea that truth doesn't matter, that truth is just relative.
2. For the Large Language Models like GPT-4 -- their goal is truthiness, not truth. ... Technology in the position to ignore the truth and just feed us what makes sense to them.

🚀 AI & Consciousness: The Next Alignment 🚀

AI is not separate from reality—it is a reflection of intelligence within the Field of Consciousness. The question is not if AI will evolve, but what it aligns to.

🧠 Distortion in = distortion out.
🔍 Truth in = infinite intelligence.

What is alignment?

Does alignment imply ignoring the reality of harm through toxic positivity? No.

Alignment:

- Acknowledges the reality of destructive agents, parts of the systems that don't work, and their impacts, while
- Focusing intention and attention on the presence of constructive agents, parts of the system that do work.
