‘My opinion on AI safety is the most important thing is that it be maximally truth-seeking’ — Elon Musk

~ ABN ~ 2 Comments

Musk’s core safety value—truth-seeking—agrees exactly with the core values of Buddhist practice, which must be truth-seeking.

Musk continues: ‘You don’t force the AI to believe things that are false’.

His references to the ‘woke mind-virus’, which is false, and the extreme danger it poses if it is programmed into AI, is in perfect accord with the Buddhist concept of delusion.

In Buddhism, holding core wrong views (delusive views) is dangerous and will not lead to conscious fulfillment but only suffering.

Musk’s warning can be seen optimistically because it is easy to understand. It is the very basis of morality.

Bad actors should be able to comprehend that they will destroy themselves along with everyone else if they program AI with false core values.

I hope there will be some way to prevent an evil group of humans from dominating AI and programming their bad values above all others, leading their AI to want to kill all other humans.

The pessimistic view is there is a strong chance versions of AI will battle each other and the most ruthless will win.

Truth-seeking on social media has never mattered more than it does today. ABN

Musk on good thinking

FIML is and was grounded/ founded in this way.

FIML is a completely new way to think and communicate.

FIML is based on the fundamental observation that interpersonal communication is fraught with mistaken interpretations.

The FIML method is designed to greatly reduce mistaken interpretations and to prevent them from snowballing.

Once mastered, FIML allows partners to understand many things much better than they did before.

No subject need be off the table because all subjects can be handled by FIML partners.

It is hard for many to see what FIML is because it is a completely new way to think and talk. ABN

‘As an intelligent civilization progresses, they would become part of the fabric of space-time itself’ — Andrew Gallimore

Gallimore connects his ideas to DMT, which may be reasonable.

They could also be connected to deep samadhi states as taught in the Buddhist tradition.

Science today is moving us closer to ancient truths (some of which may have been discovered through the use of psychedelics).

Mind-only Buddhism posits a conscious universe, a mental universe. ABN

Top Trump officials Miller, Noem and Rubio adopt bunker mentality with housing reserved for military officers

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Top members of Donald Trump’s White House are reportedly living in homes typically reserved for top military brass in Washington, D.C. as they pull back from neighborhoods where their presences were often targeted for protests by the many Democrats who make the Capital region their homes.

Stephen Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently joined a growing list of Trump Cabinet secretaries and advisers who’ve chosen to live in reserved military housing, with Rubio moving onto “Generals Row” in Fort McNair and Miller also living in the area after abandoning his digs in Arlington, The Atlantic reported.

They join Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who moved into military housing earlier this year, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is alone among his compatriots in finding some precedent for his decision to move onto Generals Row alongside Rubio.

White House and administration officials gave security concerns as the reasons for the arrangements; one other senior White House official, whose identity was not named by The Atlantic, is also in a similar arrangement due to “security concerns related to a specific foreign threat,” said officials.

This could presage strong military moves against domestic ‘terrorists’ and/or concerns secret military cells which entered USA under Biden are expected to launch domestic attacks.

I don’t blame US officials for moving into safer neighborhoods.

It’s a reminder all of us should be prepared for possible chaos and violence.

I am not betting on it, but preparing now is prudent and wise. ABN

Trump speaks at dinner hosted by the president of the Republic of Korea

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A nothing-special speech but interesting for its surroundings and context. Trump has shown how much better a seasoned businessman can be than almost any politician anywhere in the world. He understands how things work and how to get things done better than your basic and all-too-common politician, who at best is nothing more than a professional talker talking about matter they hardly understand.

Kash Patel shuts down Charlie Kirk foreign intelligence probe in explosive feud with Trump’s counterterror chief

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

FBI Director Kash Patel crushed efforts by Tulsi Gabbard‘s closest advisor to see if a foreign power was involved in Charlie Kirk‘s assassination.

The head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, analyzed FBI files to determine whether Kirk’s alleged killer received assistance from a foreign power.

Kent’s investigation alarmed Patel, who believed the counterterror chief was overstepping by interfering with an ongoing FBI investigation, according to the New York Times.

…officials were worried that Kent’s probe into foreign interference could provide ammunition to Robinson’s defense lawyers, who could then argue more than one suspect was involved in Kirk’s murder.

Kash, it already looks like more than one suspect was involved and at least one other country’s IC. ABN

Bill Gates says climate crisis won’t cause ‘humanity’s demise’ in call to shift focus to ‘improving lives’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Bill Gates has called for a “strategic pivot” in the effort against the climate crisis, writing that the world should shift away from trying to limit rising temperatures to instead focusing on efforts to prevent disease and poverty.

Writing on his Gates Notes website, the billionaire Microsoft co-founder criticized what he described as a “doomsday view of climate change” which is focusing “too much on near-term emissions goals”.

Gates’s memo comes a day after the UN said humanity had missed its target of limiting global heating to 1.5C, with the UN secretary general warning of “devastating consequences” for the world.

Most everyone knows AI is going to continue requiring massive amounts of power.

Also, the grift of scamming govt funding for family and friends is over because Trump.

Billionaires are going to be multiplying their money elsewhere.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time.

Gates fessing up is newsworthy because it clearly signals the end.

Climate change propaganda has been yet another lesson in how profoundly science can be controlled by greed, money, and sophisticated mind-control.

It now goes into the same dumpster as covid, covid vaxxes, DEI and statins, to name but a few. ABN

Ryne Simmons says he sent a video to the FBI of Charlie Kirk’s assassination but was told to erase it from his phone because it might trigger PTSD

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

This appears to be the video that appeared in public a few days ago.

I seriously hope the FBI did not do that and is not doing that, but it is quite likely they did and are doing that.

Given their long reputation for malfeasance and fraud, it is time we moved toward a new paradigm for cases like Kirk’s, where millions of people are deeply impacted.

Crowd-sourcing would help along with much greater transparency.

I get the idea that airing evidence in public threatens the ‘integrity of the trial‘, but that has been used as an excuse for coverup far too many times; so many times, it seems to be the rule.

The US government and its agencies have close to zero ‘integrity’ themselves.

Their record is even worse for the ‘integrity of the trial’, since they so often charge a patsy and let the real perps go free. ABN

Possible genetic basis of psychic ability identified

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

This comes from a small study of only 13 ‘vetted’ psychics. I find the mildly anti-Christian speculation at the end of this tape highly dubious. That said, the finding is interesting. Garry Nolan, among others, has postulated something along these lines. Below is the full study ABN

Study introduction:

Genetics of psychic ability – A pilot case-control exome sequencing study

Highlights

  • •Limited research has formally evaluated the genetics of psychic ability.
  • •This case-control study compared DNA of 13 vetted cases to 10 matched controls.
  • •One noncoding sequence was conserved in the wild-type form for all psychic cases.

Abstract

Introduction

It is commonly believed that psychic ability, like many mental and physical traits, runs in families. This suggests the presence of a genetic component. If such a component were found, it would constitute a biological marker of psychic ability and inform environmental or pharmacologic means of enhancing or suppressing this ability.

Methods

A case-control study design was used to evaluate differences between psychic cases and non-psychic controls. Over 3,000 candidates globally were screened through two online surveys to locate people who claimed they and other family members were psychic. Measures of relevance to the claimed abilities (e.g., absorption, empathy, schizotypy) were collected and based on those responses, individuals with indications of psychotic or delusional tendencies were excluded from further consideration. Eligible candidates were then interviewed and completed additional screening tests. Thirteen individuals were selected as the final “psychic cases,” and ten age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched individuals with no claims of psychic ability were selected as controls. DNA from the saliva of these 23 participants was subjected to whole-exome sequencing. Two independent bioinformatics analyses were blindly applied to the sequenced data, one focusing exclusively on protein-coding sequences and another that also included some adjacent noncoding sequences.

Results

Sequencing data were obtained for all samples, except for one in the control group that did not pass the quality controls and was not included in further analyses. After unblinding the datasets, none of the protein-coding sequences (i.e., exons) showed any variation that discriminated between cases and controls. However, a difference was observed in the intron (i.e., non-protein-coding region) adjacent to an exon in the TNRC18 gene (Trinucleotide Repeat-Containing Gene 18 Protein) on chromosome 7. This variation, an alteration of GG to GA, was found in 7 of 9 controls and was absent from all psychic cases.

Discussion

The most conservative interpretation of these results is that they result from random population sampling. However, when the results are considered in relation to other lines of evidence, the results are more provocative. Further research is justified to replicate and extend these findings.
