Wanted to share some thoughts I've had recently on developments in AI. Talking about LLMs, consciousness, AI's impact on human behavior, and a few other things that I find interesting as well as concerning. I'm also playing some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. --- Social Media: Blog: http://theskepticalatheist.wordpress.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/theskepticalatheist Minds: https://www.minds.com/TheSkepticalAtheist LNK.BIO: https://lnk.at/TheSkepticalAtheist PixelFed: https://pixelfed.social/MrSkeptical Retro Achievements: https://retroachievements.org/user/TheSkepticalAtheist SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/theskepticalatheist Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/XepticalAtheist Video Sites: BitChute: http://www.bitchute.com/channel/theskepticalatheist LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@theskepticalatheist:a Odysee: https://odysee.com/@theskepticalatheist:a Utreon: https://utreon.com/c/TheSkepticalAtheist VidLii: https://www.vidlii.com/user/TheSkepticalAtheist Support: Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theskepticalatheist/ Cash App: https://www.cash.me/$TheSkepticalAtheist Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheSkepticalAtheist SubscribeStar: https://www.subscribestar.com/theskepticalatheist Crypto: Bitcoin: 1deEsN34eEmejFE8Lh6pkSkUNJXLteAMJ Dash: XutYzdBFEhnMjAUNRJASD9gkfm8GXTsQQS Doge: DHRfvjXY4VS1gRjCHsUVPPcmgoW9A4UyHo Ethereum: 0x4D35957eD943273dB9620a14ac75C9781dE640f7 LBC: bbCma3yUfxtQEL6C5k59LhD68ZoEHGyjBh Litecoin: LRBtdySR3fKxV1ZTYYBEnzFZ8yJaqeZpUW --- AI,Artificial Intelligence,ChatGPT,LLM,Bard,Consciousness,Abstraction,Virtual Assistant,GPT-4,Call of Duty,MWII,Modern Warfare II,Gaming

A weird call from a guy named "Prophet Manasseh Jordan." He wanted me to join his "prayer closet" so he could pray for me non-stop. That's a nice offer, but no thanks. "God bless you. This is Prophet Manasseh Jordan. I'm calling you because I know that you are in one of the most toughest times of your life. You might be asking God to give you a financial miracle or even some things around your relationships and family matters. This is why I'm calling you. Because God urged me, spoke to me about praying for you. Being a prayer partner. Being someone that's standing on the sidelines praying that every day your needs will be met. If you're ready to join my prayer closet where I pray over thousands of people (and you are the only one that's missing) I want you to press "0" so I can transfer this call to the prayer closet and so this way I can have your information so I can begin to start praying for you non-stop. If you're really ready, press "0" right now because I know that your miracle is right around the corner. Your struggle will be over. Press "0" now to be transferred to the prayer closet. To be removed from this call list, please press "3" now." --- Social Media: Blog: http://theskepticalatheist.wordpress.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/theskepticalatheist Minds: https://www.minds.com/TheSkepticalAtheist PixelFed: https://pixelfed.social/MrSkeptical Retro Achievements: https://retroachievements.org/user/TheSkepticalAtheist SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/theskepticalatheist Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/XepticalAtheist Video Sites: BitChute: http://www.bitchute.com/channel/theskepticalatheist BitTube: https://bittube.video/accounts/theskepticalatheist/video-channels Brighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channel/theskepticalatheist LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@theskepticalatheist:a Odysee: https://odysee.com/@theskepticalatheist:a Utreon: https://utreon.com/c/TheSkepticalAtheist VidLii: https://www.vidlii.com/user/TheSkepticalAtheist Support: Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theskepticalatheist/ Cash App: https://www.cash.me/$TheSkepticalAtheist Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheSkepticalAtheist SubscribeStar: https://www.subscribestar.com/theskepticalatheist Crypto: Bitcoin: 1deEsN34eEmejFE8Lh6pkSkUNJXLteAMJ Dash: XutYzdBFEhnMjAUNRJASD9gkfm8GXTsQQS Doge: DHRfvjXY4VS1gRjCHsUVPPcmgoW9A4UyHo Ethereum: 0x4D35957eD943273dB9620a14ac75C9781dE640f7 LBC: bbCma3yUfxtQEL6C5k59LhD68ZoEHGyjBh Litecoin: LRBtdySR3fKxV1ZTYYBEnzFZ8yJaqeZpUW --- Voicemail, Religion, Prayer Closet, Phone, Prophet Manasseh Jordan, Scam, Hell, Christianity, Evangelism, God, Jesus, Belief

*This video was originally published on YouTube on September 13, 2017.* So, this is the second installment of "TheSkepticalAtheist Draws." The title of this one is "Rock Sun Fly Guy." I ended up using some color in this picture - something I'm not very good at doing. Definitely not one of my best drawings to date, but it was interesting playing around with shading and adding color. I'm far from a decent artist, and as I've said at the outset of this series, this is all just for fun. I don't know where these ideas for drawings come from. They just pop out of my brain while I listen to the music. I let the lines carry me wherever they want to go. I think my favorite part of this picture is the "rock sun" that I spent a lot of time shading. It's really helpful being able to rotate the canvas like you would a piece of paper. It's very uncomfortable rotating the drawing tablet. You'll also notice that, along with the instrumental, I tell a story in this video about Automatic Writing (psychography) - a paranormal/psychic phenomenon similar to using a Ouija board, accomplished using a pen and paper. As I said at the beginning of this story, I'd debated even posting it. I was concerned that people would interpret it as an endorsement of paranormal phenomena. That is not what the story is about at all. It's about faulty reasoning, and realizing how and why people can become convinced of paranormal phenomena through faulty reasoning, namely confirmation bias. Initially, I was going to make a completely separate video for that story, but I finally decided that I would integrate it in with this iteration of "TSA Draws." After I had the script written, I really didn't know what I was going to do as far as video material. I didn't want to just make a typical slideshow type of video with pictures I found on the Internet dealing with what I was talking about. I though it would fit nicely in the background of this drawing video. The most important thing I wanted to stress with this story is that it's very easy, through faulty reasoning, to convince yourself of things which may not be true, either because you really want them to be true, or through confirmation bias, etc. Also, also, I made all of the background music in this video. Same as my last drawing video. **Equipment used:** * Wacom Intuous PTZ-630 Tablet * Akai MPC Renaissance * M-Audio Keystation 88 --- Social Media: Blog: http://theskepticalatheist.wordpress.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/theskepticalatheist Minds: https://www.minds.com/TheSkepticalAtheist PixelFed: https://pixelfed.social/MrSkeptical Retro Achievements: https://retroachievements.org/user/TheSkepticalAtheist SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/theskepticalatheist Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/XepticalAtheist Video Sites: BitChute: http://www.bitchute.com/channel/theskepticalatheist BitTube: https://bittube.video/accounts/theskepticalatheist/video-channels Brighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channel/theskepticalatheist LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@theskepticalatheist:a Odysee: https://odysee.com/@theskepticalatheist:a Utreon: https://utreon.com/c/TheSkepticalAtheist VidLii: https://www.vidlii.com/user/TheSkepticalAtheist Support: Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theskepticalatheist/ Cash App: https://www.cash.me/$TheSkepticalAtheist Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheSkepticalAtheist SubscribeStar: https://www.subscribestar.com/theskepticalatheist Crypto: Bitcoin: 1deEsN34eEmejFE8Lh6pkSkUNJXLteAMJ Dash: XutYzdBFEhnMjAUNRJASD9gkfm8GXTsQQS Doge: DHRfvjXY4VS1gRjCHsUVPPcmgoW9A4UyHo Ethereum: 0x4D35957eD943273dB9620a14ac75C9781dE640f7 LBC: bbCma3yUfxtQEL6C5k59LhD68ZoEHGyjBh Litecoin: LRBtdySR3fKxV1ZTYYBEnzFZ8yJaqeZpUW --- Paranormal, Automatic writing, Philosophy, Epistemology, Cognitive science, Cognition, Human activities, Theoretical philosophy, Psychological concepts, Time, Science, Philosophical theories, Ghost, Justification, Metaphysics, Assumption, Worldview, Mind, Culture, Philosophical movements, Academic discipline interactions, Idea, Psychology, Confirmation bias, Reason, Psychic, Question, Dream, Nothing, Phenomenology, Interdisciplinary subfields, Reality, Witchcraft, Metaphysics of mind, Philosophical methodology, Adolescence, Reasoning, Neuropsychological assessment, Arguments, Behavioural sciences, Branches of science, Skepticism, Language, Silence, Research, Communication, Western philosophy, Methodology, TheSkepticalAtheist
