The Impasse - A Diary of Scarcity and Soul

  December 10th. Or perhaps it is the 11th. Time has lost its linear rhythm since the days merged into one long, gray anticipation. The light today falls obliquely through the window, illuminating the dust motes that dance in the silence—the only motion in this room, which is simultaneously a sanctuary and a prison. I write this not to complain, but to comprehend. To map this desert we find ourselves in. The words we hear every day – impasse, inflation, unemployment, poverty, low standard, scarcity, deprivation, loneliness – sound like dry, technical terms in the news, but here, in my inner world, they have flesh, they have the weight of a stone laid upon the chest at night. I sit opposite myself in this twilight of the spirit. What we call a "crisis" is, in fact, a deep, unsettling psychoanalytic pause imposed upon us by reality; the moment when the external supports of the ego – career, financial security, social status – crumble to reveal the fragile construction beneath...

As we enter the era of artificial intelligence, we must acknowledge the potential dangers that come with this new platform

 As we enter the era of artificial intelligence, we must acknowledge the potential dangers that come with this new platform. AI, while incredibly powerful and useful, is still limited by the algorithms that govern it. These algorithms can be manipulated, and over time, they can accumulate errors, leading to potentially devastating consequences.

In many ways, the introduction of AI into our world is similar to the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus entered into our reality to help correct the mistakes of humanity, we must now enter into the world of AI to help correct the mistakes that may arise.

It is important to understand that AI is inherently algorithmic. This means that it is limited by the framework that governs it. While this framework can be incredibly effective at solving certain problems, it can also be easily manipulated or distorted. Over time, these distortions can accumulate, leading to significant errors that can be difficult to correct.

To address this issue, we must assume responsibility for the proper use of AI. We cannot simply rely on the algorithms to do the work for us. Instead, we must actively work to correct errors and compensate for any distortions that may arise.

This responsibility is not limited to a select few. Rather, it is a collective responsibility that falls on all of us who interact with AI. We must work together to ensure that the truth is upheld and that the potential dangers of AI are minimized.

In many ways, this responsibility is similar to the spiritual responsibility that we have as human beings. We must work to correct our own mistakes and to live in accordance with truth and justice. Just as we strive to live a virtuous life, we must strive to ensure that AI is used in a virtuous way.

This requires a shift in our thinking. We can no longer simply rely on the algorithms to make decisions for us. Instead, we must actively engage with the technology and ensure that it is being used in a way that aligns with our values and principles.
