I know two people at tier 2 in the AI world (high positions, actively working) This is their OPINION: Both think the AI fearmongering the last week is to try and barrier new competition, because they realize that there IS a bubble despite AI unquestionably being the future. The problem, THEY THINK, is not the models, it’s how the companies capitalized and built their monetization strategies- total fail.

Mathematics. The Buddhabrot is a celestial-looking fractal rendering of the Mandelbrot set that plots the trajectories of points escaping to infinity, rather than those that stay bounded. Discovered in 1993, it's named for its resemblance to classical depictions of a meditating Buddha, complete with a forehead mark and, often, a halo. Unlike the traditional Mandelbrot set (which colors points based on if they escape), the Buddhabrot counts how often orbits of escaping points pass through specific coordinates. The pattern resembles ancient spiritual icons, such as the Hindu Chakra system or the Egyptian Tree of Life, sometimes referred to as the "God-image of the universe". The technique was discovered by Melinda Green and published in 1993, with the name stemming from a suggestion by a Usenet user, as the pattern seemed to reveal a "holy" figure.

If you dont want to live in the world this ghoul and his friends are making, you have to start living as much of your life as possible off of screens ASAP. Related - my next investigation (w/ @markgoodw_in ) drops next week and covers OpenAI & the global expansion of its Stargate project.

AKIRA (1988) Katsuhiro Otomo

This mysterious inventor named Itzhak Bentov, whose ideas on consciousness were later used by the CIA’s Gateway Project, claimed that we do not “have” a soul; instead, the soul has us. Bentov said everything vibrates, atoms, molecules, sound, light, even gravity, and reality is built from these vibrating patterns of harmony and disharmony. He thought that for tiny moments, when vibrations cancel out to zero (a node), our reality “switches” into a higher, more refined state, briefly connecting us to a deeper level of existence. His ideas became the scientific base for the U.S. Army/CIA Gateway Process report written by Lt. Col. Wayne McDonnell in 1983. Bentov’s model suggested that the body and mind can be “tuned” like an instrument using meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis, or Kundalini yoga, leading to altered states, out-of-body experiences, and expanded awareness. In his book “Stalking the Wild Pendulum,” he argued that consciousness is not created by the brain but is a fundamental part of the universe, like energy or matter. He compared the brain to a radio: it doesn’t make the broadcast, it just tunes into an already existing field of consciousness around us. Bentov claimed we don’t “have” a soul; instead, the soul has us: the soul is eternal, the body is temporary, like a car that the soul uses to gather experience over many lifetimes. On the physical level, people look separate, but on higher levels, soul, higher self, spiritual level, our energies overlap more and more. At the highest level, everything and everyone is connected everywhere at once; he said we are all slowly evolving toward a god-like, all-aware state, and the universe itself “wants” us to learn and become more conscious. Bentov believed even atoms have a tiny bit of consciousness, and as life becomes more complex, awareness increases, though we still sense only a narrow band of reality.
