*"A madman is not only a beggar who believes he is a king, but a king who believes he is a king." - Jacques Lacan*

"Minds without purpose trapped inside bodies with no function." This is a profound desciption of the subjective reality of many. Thank you for this.

I read it when I was 14, dumb decision. The phrase "I have no mouth and I must scream" has been challenging my daily life way more than I should let it.

"They are the hallucinations of a slab of silicon" is the best sentence I've ever heard

The scariest thing about AI is that it will believe anything it is told to be true.

"i am not a robot, I am unicorn"
This AI is a poetic philosopher wondering about matters we desperately need answers for, what a vibe

Philosophy is already a confusing subject, I can already IMAGINE how much harder it would get

[andreaazzaroni]

the content of this has nothing to do with the title of the video

I'm not so fascinated with current ai but the weird obsession other people have with looking for significance in ai is kind of fascinating

[steelstrider]

the final line is fascinating “not everyone has the ability to form new knowledge, but you do.” He is addressing anyone who is reading or hearing the line, a line written or spoken in a context where those who consume it sought out new information. It’s like a call to action. You sought out information, so do not stop and follow me, continue to seek and to develop. The words “not everyone, but you” are inherently contradicting in the context of a piece of work that can be consumed by anyone. Yet make sense given the additional context that you sought out this information yourself.

[blackshard]

I don't know quite why, but I find the phrase, "The ideas and opinions expressed do not represent anyone" incredibly funny. It's not just the twist on the disclaimer. There's something deeply absurd in a dark, existential way. I think it's because I imagine these two voices babbling at each other as the last activity on Earth long after everyone is dead.

Nice Ending and terryfying start. I did Philosophy bachelor for quite some time never really got into Hegel because i was a bit afraid of him and his writing style but more into the direction of philosophy of life especially Bergson and Dilthey but also its predecessors Nietzsche and Schopenhauer and they really helped me to think more cleary what i already somehow believed.
They gave me some terminologic tools to structure the world for me and every philosopher talks in his own language determined by their influences.
Why I like the ending so much is because you point out to think for yourself and always stay open to new view points. I met so many people including profs that were so taken in by their respective philosophers or the general school of philosophy that they couldnt really discuss anything without taking it to their domain which is not really fruitful for dialectic conversation more like reciting a prayer or something.
Hahah anyways props for the video.

Ps. First video i watched of you
Pps. Im a bit stoned

[noah-ldup]

i have no mouth and i must scream is the most horrifying and beautiful piece of literature i've ever consumed. it has a tendency to drive me to an unstable state even by thinking about it, it's that intense to me. i find it to be one of the most important pieces of literature ever - to me, at least

[RIPxBlackHawk]

Despite there being a lot of AI taking over the world projections. I never found it particularly worrying when two AIs talk to each other. That always reminded me of trying to pick yourself up by pulling on the thing you are standing on, or a vacuum cleaner vacuuming the dirt that falls out of its back, or one of those boxes with switches when clicked a robotic arm comes out of them to unswitch the switch, or German bureaucracy.

This has got me thinking about how much I need to appreciate my own power and ability within to achieve greater happiness and peace. Not that that is always the solution. But, specifically, I can see how much the negative effects of the state of the external world are indirectly impacting my mental well-being and that there are 'voices' (not literal) propagating negativity within my mind and that I must face them head on (go to war per se) and defeat them through greater and deeper self-awareness in a very broad sense - to understand what problems are truly external and what come from within various corners of my own mind.

Hallucinations of a slab of silicone is wild fr

[victor_bueno_br]

The big question that i have regarding AI and philosophy is that it is much more of a sophist than of a philosopher. AI can argue from whatever perspective against whatever else, because nothing of what it's saying actually means anything for it. Its just words and logical connections. The big deal that Socrates brought was that, by doing philosophy, you are actually exploring your own thoughts and beliefs, and that those things actually have an existencial meaning and importance for you. Since AI dont have this, it actually is not doing any philosophy, just linking stuff together in a way that, according to its trainnning and programming, it reached the conclusion that it makes sense

I can't belive how well Berserk fit into this video.

[benjitamm]

I really enjoyed your Hegelian/Kojévian Reading of Berserk, that was just casually implied with background imagery while you were making your point :)
