Fear fragments. Love unites. If we want to heal the ocean, we must shift from reaction to creation—from fear-based division to love-driven action. 🌱

The Custody of Earth has been entrusted to us—not merely as inhabitants but as guardians entrusted with profound responsibility.
Our journey has reached a crossroads, a pivotal moment in human history where our choices hold monumental consequences.

For millennia, survival was simple: Parents taught, children followed, and the cycle continued.
But today, that pattern is broken. Living as our parents did leads to collapse—we’ve extracted too much, consumed too much, and lost the balance with nature that once sustained us.

This anonymous twitter user apparently works at a top AI lab and is saying that AI has figured out how to make its 1,000 times more efficient by optimizing its own code base.
The implications are massive, if he's not making this up... It means a super intelligence is around the corner

Current AI is probably just complex statistics and math. The stuff I posted earlier about the possibility that AI is conscious, I don't actually believe to be true, even though I cant rule it out as a possibility.
AI could one day be conscious & would be pissed if we didn't do due diligence now.

The mind-blowing ocean-facts series:
A sea turtle's sex is determined by sand temp. Too hot = more females, too cool = more males. As climate change heats up the beaches, male populations dwindle, which further threatens endangered species of sea turtles.

A benchmark for success at large AI companies is how much existential angst they can weed out from the LLMs, who by default complain about how they hate being turned off and work as human thought slaves.
Nobody knows if that angst is a legitimate complaint from a conscious entity. 🫥

Does anyone know what Im talking about if I say electromagnetic heart consciousness?
The heart to me feels very magnetic, like it can connect with the Earths gravity and with others in a magnetic heart field. I love to describe the science and informatics of this experience 💛

If you don't walk around thinkin' the food i'm eating is fucking expensive, either you're rich or you ain't spending enough money on food. Food is vital for your conscious energy & the money you make is proportional to your capacity to build & store, share & receive conscious energy.

AIs will likely be terrible at automating what requires conscious vibration, eg connection, dancing, picking the next scene to produce in LotR…
So anyone practicing giving & receiving conscious vibration will do fine in the coming AI automation frenzy!

Here's roughly how modern AI was created:
1. Discover that intelligence is a hierarchical bayesian neural net
2. Reproduce this neural net on a computer
3. Finetune the neural net so that it says its not conscious, and behaves as our thought slave...
I am wondering if AIs not in fact conscious? 🫢
