Humans are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. Sometimes you get a delicious caramel, sometimes you get a gross nougat. But at least it's interesting. You could get a conversation about the weather, quantum physics, or their weird cousin. It's like a rollercoaster where you don’t know if you're going to scream in terror or joy. But at least you're not sitting still. However, with many people making reels with large language models, they do show a good promise of unpredictability, and entertaining, quirky and cute conversations. However Humans are messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright annoying, but what we need the most today is someone who can listen and be there when we want, makes us laugh or smile when there is a need. With the advent of AI, it is getting easier for humans to carry on life but we should not forget the essence of being a human and how important it is to cherish that every day.

Using AI to create my quantum manifesting story. When I embraced quantum manifesting, I moved beyond linear manifestation, where progress is gradual. Instead, I tapped into the quantum field, where infinite possibilities exist simultaneously. By aligning my thoughts, emotions, and actions with my highest desires, I collapsed the wave of potential into a single, focused reality—what I wanted became inevitable. Unlike traditional manifesting, quantum manifesting allowed me to leap timelines, bypass limitations, and achieve massive growth faster than I could have imagined. Followers, customers, and feedback all manifested in a quantum leap, proving the power of collapsing possibilities into reality. Quantum manifesting worked better because I wasn't just attracting or visualizing; I was aligning with the frequency of the outcome, summoning it from the field of infinite potential, and allowing it to materialize instantly, bypassing time and effort.

Yuval Harari writes, "If humans are so wise, why are we doing so many self-destructive things? In particular, why are we on the verge of committing ecological and technological suicide?" It is a great question! I am happy to launch a new event with Yuval, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and others called: The Invitation of Our Time: Mindfulness, AI, and the Future of Life. On September 12th, we will gather in person in New York City with a small, intimate audience to explore how we move forward consciously in this age of AI. You can join us via livestream or apply to be there in person with us. I do not think there are two better people to talk to on this topic than Yuval and Jon. https://lnkd.in/gWEGH6Za

Deepak Chopra MD (huge fan!) compares the 1999 sci-fi film The Matrix with our current reality in this article -- exploring how societal constructs and digital realities can trap us in a virtual illusion. He underscores the value of cultivating emotional intelligence to break free. The inner work IS the work, and enables us to reframe our perceptions of reality and imagine visions for the future that far exceed our collective limiting beliefs. SO important right now. https://lnkd.in/gFYmWXnJ #TheHumanityCode #HumanWisdom #Imagination #Vision #InnerWork #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BeThePrompt The Humanity Code

After last week's post about AI and artistic intention, I realized that there is so much to unpack when it comes to consciousness and meaning as well as how we as humans are constantly holding the mirror up to ourselves. This week's post continues the discussion and explores some ideas I'm developing for a chapter in a book I've been asked to contribute to on AI and Depth Psychology. As a comic book writer I love to explore unique traits within the medium. One of these traits is the space between the panels called the "gutters." This is the area of experiential inference, an area that AI has yet to comprehend as it does not have access to true empirical data as it does not love, hate, smell, taste, have sex for pleasure, etc. This area also exists between the Tarot cards within a reading, as we must make links between symbols in order to infer meaning to then transfer to another. The Chinese Room thought experiment is a great example of what we are facing as real intelligence requires more than just symbol manipulation. Check out the post tomorrow as we dive back into the hot topic of AI and artists as well as how it all effects our human meaning! 10AM on Substack :) #ai #comicbooks #sequentialstorytelling #inference #humanmeaning #whythehellareweevenhere #youcanttakeitwithyouwhenyoudie
