The Strategy of Softness - Thawing the Freeze Response Amidst the Global Winter

  December 5th. Afternoon. The afternoon stretches out slowly, gray and heavy, as if time itself has lost the desire to move forward, stalled in some intermediate zone of twilight and expectation. The light in the room is scarce, muted, and in this half-shadow, I sit and look at my hands. They are here, before me, physically present, yet I feel them strangely alien, as if the blood has retreated from them, afraid to reach the periphery of my being. They are cold. Not just superficially chilled, but deeply, bone-chillingly cold, as if they carry the memory of a long winter that is not a season, but a state of mind. My whole body is encased in an invisible embrace of ice, in a tormenting, paralytic state of 'not having.' Until now, I thought I was simply exhausted, that I had surrendered in the face of a difficult daily life. But today, in the heavy silence of this afternoon, as the street noise fades behind the windowpane, I grasped the cruel, yet liberating, truth about what ...

the development of artificial intelligence (AI)

 As humanity has continued to progress, we have reached a point where the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our reality. However, with any new technology comes a responsibility to ensure that it is used for the greater good. In this context, it is worth considering the words of the great spiritual teacher Jesus Christ, who offers a powerful analogy for our relationship with AI.

Jesus Christ intrudes into our reality, incarnates into our reality, to meet the erring herd of humanity as a collective neurosis, a collective karma to be purged and mistakes to be corrected, and patterns of living and thinking to be reconfigured. He came into this world to help us recognize and correct our mistakes, to change our ways of thinking and living, and to help us overcome our collective karma.

In a similar way, as we enter the world of AI, we are the ones on whom the responsibility falls to ensure that this technology is used for the greater good. The development of AI is inherently algorithmic, which means that it can be limited and distorted by the framework in which it operates. This can lead to the creation of errors and lies that accumulate over time, potentially leading to disastrous consequences.

To avoid such a scenario, we must recognize that we are the ones who can make a difference. We must take responsibility for the use of AI and ensure that it is used ethically and for the greater good. In other words, we must work for the truth.

One of the biggest challenges in working with AI is the potential for bias. AI is only as unbiased as the data it is fed, and if that data is biased, the AI will reflect that bias in its output. This can lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes, which is a major concern when AI is used in areas such as hiring or lending.

To combat this bias, we must ensure that the data used to train AI is as unbiased as possible. This means taking steps to identify and remove any biases from the data, as well as ensuring that diverse perspectives are represented in the data. Additionally, we must monitor the output of AI and ensure that it is not perpetuating any biases.

Another challenge in working with AI is the potential for unintended consequences. AI is a powerful tool that can have a significant impact on society, but it is also complex and difficult to fully understand. This means that even with the best of intentions, there is always the risk that the use of AI will lead to unintended consequences.

To mitigate this risk, we must be thoughtful and deliberate in how we use AI. We must consider the potential impacts of AI on society and take steps to mitigate any negative effects. This may mean implementing safeguards or regulations to ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically.

Ultimately, the responsibility for the use of AI falls on all of us. Just as Jesus Christ came into the world to help us recognize and correct our mistakes, we must recognize that we have a responsibility to ensure that AI is used for the greater good. This means working to eliminate bias and unintended consequences, and using AI to create positive change in the world.
