if machines become conscious, how will we distinguish between synthetic thought and human soul?

Geoffrey Hinton says the more we understand how AI and the brain actually work, the less human thinking looks like logic. We're not reasoning machines, he says. We're analogy machines. We think by resonance, not deduction. “We're much less rational than we thought.”

I feel satisfied that somebody else understood the meaning of this meme. 😂 Brings me back to some of those old days wandering the hills of Delthota. I was following a monk through tall grass in the middle of the night and there were leeches everywhere. When the monk said "run!" then I realized that when a monk says run he means it. We started booking it, you could see leeches jumping at us off the tall grass, like fish out of water, and sticking to my arms and legs. We ran through an pathway of rocks sticking out of the marsh as they flung themselves at us. He was really good at dodging them. After we made it out of the marsh, he taught me compassion for the leaches that were stuck all over my arms and legs as he removed them swiftly! 😱😂🙏🏻🪷

I'm releasing a new latent space explorer 🧭🎨 — a creative tool for generating and evolving images. It's tree-based and designed for creative flow and open-ended discovery, using image mixing, branching, and editing. You can try it out now on ArtBreeder!

where does the war come from inside of us? the trees are so quiet, the clouds are so soft, and the stars stare down with an invitation to the beyond

What do you think the main reason extraterrestrial life hasn’t visited us yet?
