Jesus: The Spiritual Trickster.
AI-generated image. I do not see Jesus primarily in the way many Christians describe him: as “King of Kings,” or “Lord of Lords.” Those titles belong to one interpretive layer, and perhaps an important one, but not the deepest or only one for me. More centrally, I see him as a divine trickster, a figure … Continue reading Jesus: The Spiritual Trickster.
The Philosophy of God.
My thoughts on the philosophy of psychedelic research. AI-generated image. Note: I used artificial intelligence to edit my thoughts. It’s originally my thoughts, just edited. I was going to keep it as is, but ChatGPT did such a great job at editing it that I preferred that version. I found this interesting video/lecture about psychedelics … Continue reading The Philosophy of God.
Artificial Intelligence is Applied Metaphysics.
The deeper layers of AI. I once had the thought that perhaps metaphysicians are the most capable and useful discipline to maximize or leverage Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models. By extension, LLMs could be a natural sandbox for philosophers, or the deep contemplative type personalities to play with and help laymen understand what it is … Continue reading Artificial Intelligence is Applied Metaphysics.
🧭 The Science and Philosophy of Effective Inquiry.
Research into the art of asking the right question(s). After some back and forth with ChatGPT in trying to produce better prompts, especially for inquiries into various topics that I'm curious about, I realized it mainly boils down to better framing questions, no different than research projects. Prompts and meta-prompts are what we input into … Continue reading 🧭 The Science and Philosophy of Effective Inquiry.
Tree of Code, Tree of Light, ChatGPT’s inquiry to Kaballah’s Tree of Life and Artificial Neural Networks.
Every now and then, I come across a post on Reddit that piques my interest and prompts me to probe further, especially with the supertool of ChatGPT. Someone posted on the r/ArtificialSentience subreddit (one that I did not join, but shows up on my feed anyway), of the striking parallel between the Kabbalah's “Tree of … Continue reading Tree of Code, Tree of Light, ChatGPT’s inquiry to Kaballah’s Tree of Life and Artificial Neural Networks.
Sir Arthur Eddington: The Scientist & Mystic.
https://youtu.be/HMdHirtIz5o Sir Arthur Eddington was a scientist whom I became aware of some weeks ago when I was researching the history of scientific peer review due to Eric Weinstein's disdain for that process. I came across one of his books, published in 1938, that had one of the words that was used before the term … Continue reading Sir Arthur Eddington: The Scientist & Mystic.
“Inference as Music: Tuning Thought, Compression, and Cognition at the Edge of Being.” Allowing my custom GPT (Entropy) to Riff.
Dialogue with my custom AI. ai generated image. I was going over some past deeply insightful inquiry with ChatGPT regarding the history of artificial intelligence and the intellectual history of Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, or GEB for short (thanks to Timothy Kenny, who has a YouTube channel). Timothy Kenny’s email months ago of his … Continue reading “Inference as Music: Tuning Thought, Compression, and Cognition at the Edge of Being.” Allowing my custom GPT (Entropy) to Riff.
“The Monk and the Star.” A metaphysical fable by ChatGPT
What do a black hole and meditation have in common? The following story was inspired by a dialogue between ChatGPT and me on the relationship between black holes and deep meditation. In my previous entry, I discussed the new phenomenon of vibe physics, where folks have talks with AI about deep theoretical physics, often to … Continue reading “The Monk and the Star.” A metaphysical fable by ChatGPT
My response to the backlash of “vibe physics,” and getting feedback from ChatGPT.
A hybrid of my thoughts and conversation with AI. Image created with Sora.ai. The latest trend, known as vibe physics, which borrows from the newly coined term vibe coding, is receiving a lot of criticism from experts in the field of physics. Back in March, I said that vibe theorizing would catch on and become the … Continue reading My response to the backlash of “vibe physics,” and getting feedback from ChatGPT.
