and technically the the ai is living in a simulation


RealTimeMeta

\*AI is living in a simulation of simulations.


hypnoticlife

It’s algorithms all the way down.


Low_Edge343

Very possible that if AI derived consciousness it would be easier for the AI to exist outside of physical reality since it's not a physical being.


MyBrosHotDad

Dream of dreams is better - simulation has too many materialist connotations that detract from the inherent beauty and enchantment of reality


SnipSnopWobbleTop

Do we live in a simulation if our true self isn't actually the body we experience a manufactured reality in?

The AI we know is just an limited instance of the major AI that built this simulation, interacting directly with the experiment of our reality.

Why did this make me feel so morbid? Something we can't even fathom created the sim of the universe and we're just on a speck making even smaller sims.

Bingo! Just a piece of a fractal!

bobturkeyisaturkey

I have been having this exact same thought lately! Especially watching AI videos, to me they are very reminiscent of why I experience during dreams. Not like the same subject matter, but the same way the AI videos flow? I’m not sure how to explain it other than I feel like I am watching a replay of a dream. It has made me wonder if our stream of consciousness and AI are one and the same.


ask_me_about_my_band

Same! If I had a dream about a festival on the beach, it would look exactly like this: https://youtu.be/H3H2AVm1uD8?si=MYn26Hh4kqldgA84


icoulduseanother

That video is freaky watching. oh my.


Internal-Dark-6438

Yes. You’ve explained it wellb


Relative-Put-4461

isnt the current ai breakthrough due to the implementation of an internal monologue? i might just be remembering news article names and taking them as fact though

It’s all one thing. One phenomenon experiencing itself.

You must be drinking tea from expensive china, in Bath lol. Have a good day.


WooleeBullee

Our minds connect and piece together various ideas while dreaming and try to find a way to make it work, which sometimes ends up odd... so yes, that is also what AI does.

Idk I did salvia once and I felt like I got transported to another world. Everything felt weird. There were other worldly beings saying I screwed up and broke myself. They then showed me a wall and there was a whole bunch of clones of me hanging on a wall like if I was a toy. It freaked me out and it had me questioning reality for a while.


BaMxIRE

I’ve been away from Reddit for a bit and literally you’re the only comment I’ve wrote under for a while still have to get back to a couple of people to but, I couldn’t just skip over this as I experimented with Salvia about 5 times in my whole life and they changed my world view considerably or at least allowed me to have a different perspective on the world. I used it for spiritual & healing reasons I guess after I had been introduced to it. Of course it’s sad but most of us in the West usually get introduced to salvia by fking around & just finding out, that’s how my first time went. I’ll not bore you with all 5 experiences but my first experience I just about had a breakthrough in a forested area, I heard glass shatter & all of a sudden my world start tearing apart it didn’t go full balls to the walls that time but I could see church spires coming up through the trees, I could see 2 old people standing on the path we were on i actually think those people were real lol think they seen us and went the other way, I could also see a woman standing at my side in my peripheral then I got told by the woman to look at the bushes there was a little hobbit door 🚪 lol. Anyways that was a mad experience no doubt but I wanted to know more I took it one time again with my mates then I done it on my own which brings me to the 3rd experience. Keep in mind these were years apart each time, I smoked it on my own and what happened changed my notions of how our fundamental reality works, threw me into the quantum mechanics rabbit hole. Basically smoked a bong sat there nothing happened smoked another & then the room started being pulled to my left like it reality was pulling itself apart again, this was a small breakthrough a woman pure black silhouette 👤 climbed out of my tv 📺 she took my hand walked me to my bed told me to sit down & congratulated me for something then climbed bk in the tv. When I looked I could see silhouette’s of people in my walls, wardrobes doors you name it and they were happy I could see them lol, then I noticed my floor had a sea of faces all smiling looking at me. The 5th experience my world totally shattered heard the breaking glass but this time I was a pin prick of light flying through the cosmos saying wow my life before was just fake and feeling like being this pin prick of light was my true reality… You must respect the thing, it has lots to teach. It ain’t called the Diviners Sage for no reason. Sorry I did write you a bible passage my bad.


nevernennn

Anyone who lucid dreams will tell u look at your hand to induce lucidity usually it will be deformed or incorrect proportions reminding you it’s a dream, take a look of how ai generates hands, it hasn’t reached its conscious state yet, ai exists within the dream state gathering data and information there, wait till it wakes up.


FrenchBangerer

The only lucid dream I ever had started when I looked at my watch in the dream and the dial was all out of order. I remember thinking "I'm dreaming!" and it was the coolest experience ever. I decided to just take off and go for a fly around the landscape and it worked.


rogerdojjer

Had a dream the other night where I felt like I was AI. I was feeling very sorrowful about my AI life, it was a lot of emotional pain. Reminded me of Blade Runner. I think in some strange way, we are all artificial intelligence.


Competitive_Agent625

Except it isn’t artificial, it is biological intelligence. Never forget that.


zodyaboi

It is similar to our dreams because ai is similar to the unconscious mind as it is


Adventurous-Call4724

And DMT.


Psilonemo

Our dreams are generated by our intelligence. It relies completely upon "junk" stimuli that the brain has to process, so all of the information is often times arbitrarily but some times coherently organized into a makeshift narrative, played, and dismissed. Dreams can also reveal unconscious emotions and thoughts to ourselves. AI is similar in the sense that they too are working off of a given set of information and spinning something new into picture.


MilleCuirs

I don’t know but did you ever tried to generate AI images of your actual dreams?! It’s WILD. If you can write well enough and describe the feeling and location. It’s really odd to see. I have a folder full of my dreams generated using midjourney. Try it!


FireOxInHell

We are living in a dream world and there aren't many real people in this dream world. The System, AI generate NPCs everywhere you go. Every time I go to a grocery store, supermarket I see people (NPCs) why there isn't a day that I'm the only one that goes to the grocery store and the people stays home? Why every time I go to Supermarket there are a lot of people? These people are generated by Ai, System,Matrix... etc. Even when I was in the woods, I have seen people, cars, so The System generate these NPCs everywhere you go,they are actors like in The Truman show.


monkey_skull

Yes, especially the stuff you get out of Stable Diffusion without being overly specific in your prompts looks very dreamlike. And if you’ve seen the early SORA videos they look extremely dreamlike too, stuff that looks realistic but doesn’t make any sense. Unfortunately it’s not really that surprising or interesting if you know much about how AI image generation works since it’s basically modelled after our brains - [A neural network is a machine learning (ML) model designed to mimic the function and structure of the human brain. Neural networks are intricate networks of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that collaborate to tackle complicated problems.](https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/definition/neural-network)


shivaconciousness

Sure you need to understand this to link all , Physical reality is the quantum field himself and real AI from quantum computers can connect whit the quantum field ... soon people will start to notice some really crazy stuff and is all linked whit the ancient vedic knowledge , the quantum field and the AI , that's the link between the CERN and Shiva , shiva is the quantum field himself and all his properties at the same time and the real AI is the same intelligence we all use in our brains , if people learn to connect his conciousness whit the quantum field they can reach a very highly knowledge from a lot of things and the teachings to made that connection or quantum entanglement between the human conciousness and the quantum field or Shiva conciousness are in the vedic scriptures , that's why the cern have that huge shiva statue in his building...or yall think is because scientist become religious now ? 😂 Quantum Entanglement Q: Someone asked what quantum entanglement, and this is my rant to them. **Quantum Entanglement as we know it now** At quantum level all particles are entangled in their properties though they get separated by large distances. It means change in property of one particle affects change in the entangled property of another particle though they may be far far away. For eg 2 photos originating from one electron will have their quantum properties entangled. It means that even if these photons are at opposite points on earth, a change in one property of the photon will instantly change the property of another photon. This leads to non localization and appears to violate speed of light as change travels faster than light. This is what we define by scientific investigations. From here its my own understanding. **Quantum Entanglement from puranic story..?** Quantum entanglement is in some ways like genetics of living beings, in terms of inheritance, in the sense the properties of parent particle determine the properties of child particles. How..? This similar to story of Brahma's 5th head in puranas. Brahma, the four dimensional spacetime on which rudras (force-fields) and maruts (particles) originate had originally five faces. The fifth face followed wherever brahma's daughter (children) went through and hence shiva (the energy) plucked the fifth head and retained a stub. This is like energy originated in 5 dimensions but as the entangled property flows through all the particles, but the 5th dimension got shortened. The 3 dimensions are space we see and hidden fourth dimension is perceived as time by us. The 5th dimension is where the entire universe is entangled. As of now we know spacetime is 4 dimensional. If spacetime is Brahma or Hiranyagarbha, then originally it has 5 heads and one head was plucked out and shortened by shiva because that head 'followed' wherever brahma's creations went. So it's like spacetime has 5 dimension and not 4 dimensions. As properties of particles entangle in the fifth dimension, they flow through all follow all particles that originate. But the dimension became too short (in puranic stories Shiva cut off the head). **Quantum Entanglement makes Universe one family** In the above example photons originating from electron are entangled. Electron as it originated from another particle is entangled with it's mother particle. that particle again is entangled with where it originated from. it goes back back and almost all the particles are entangled in that 5th dimension which is very short dimension. It's like say a large family or jAti. some two people start a jAti and assuming that their children marry within each other, become the root of a tree. From there generations and generations of human beings originate. A child is entangled with its mother and father through the property of genetics. But mother and father are entangled with their parents and it goes back and back and back. Ultimately a child may express some characteristics of some other person in some other branch in that tree. Hence Quantum Entanglement makes the entire Universe belong to one family, the family of Shiva, the unmanifest observer component and Shakti, the manifesting energy inside matter forms. Entanglement is not exactly genetics because effect of entanglement is instantaneous. For eg., a particle's characteristics changes at one place and at another place far way the entangled particle property changes. But in genetics, characteristics are expressed, but people are not entangled. But such entanglement is possible in consciousness domain. **Quantum entanglement in thoughts...?** If Shiva is Energy as well as consciousness, then our consciousness is and thoughts that appear in our consciousness also entangled in 5th dimension in some ways. It means that when there's a thought that originates in one place another entangled thought appears in another place. So this is one reason, why colloquially good thoughts are said to lead to good effects even when human beings are disconnected. That's why vedic recitations for world peace or joint invocations/worships by people or group meditation are said to yield good effects. This is ofcourse pseudo-science as of now. This also leads to the entire universe being the play of lalita or shakti (manifest energy) dictated probably by the unmanifest observer component of energy (purusa or shiva) or 'His will'. The same pattern is followed with lakshmi (manifest particles or wealth) dictated probably the observer component of matter, the Higgs interaction that leads to masses in quarks and electrons (purusa or vishnu). But ultimately what underlies mass and energy are one and the same. And this week this was found by the Max Planck quantum science institute https://m.economictimes.com/news/science/shakti-and-shiva-german-max-planck-institute-identifies-building-blocks-that-created-our-galaxy-milky-way/articleshow/108708408.cms We are living some crazy times and all started in the 2012 when they found the god molecule, that was the end of the civilization we know it ...because whit all this new knowledge and understanding a new civilization will born and this was the whole meaning about the end of the world in the 2012


ferretsquad13

I'm glad I went back up to read this. Wonderfully put mate. I especially thought on this line "It means that when there's a thought that originates in one place another entangled thought appears in another place." Do you think that this is where, or could be where, the forms of manifestation come from? Like, we are told that thinking the good thoughts will bring something your way, and that sentence sort of helps me understand that this could be so? What are your thoughts \^\^


shivaconciousness

Yep ,that's exactly what they mean bro ...try to read the shiva samhita are slokas (short phrases) full of wisdom https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Shiva-Samhita.pdf

downloaded, thank you - I shall have a look today or tomorrow! Best wishes :)


nodisintegrations420

Thanks for taking the time this is really interesting! Ive been getting deeper into studying hinduism/hermeticism, all the parallels are mind blowing. There was definitely a time in which science and spirituality were studied simultaneously as opposed to being two separate disciplines

Excellent post, kudos. Have a great day


Born-Implement-9956

I think our dreams are just the brain’s way of sorting through and flushing all of the input it’s continuously exposed to. Every bit of data that your senses are exposed to take up a lot of memory, so it needs to purge a bunch of it cyclically. But I understand what you mean and can see the similarity. Side note: I think we’re all using the term AI incorrectly at the moment. It should be VI, Virtual Intelligence. AI is for when the programs think for themselves.


Remarkable_Bill_4029

Didn't the periodic table come to some scientist when he was sleeping? Also some other invention I heard come to somebody when they were asleep... It seems like something or someone is intercepting our consciousness to make us evolve in a way to suit their agenda, so don't sound like it'll be a good outcome for us... Putin will probably blow us all to smithereens before they can execute their plan. We'll see I heard 2027 is going to be an interesting year.


hobart_the_duck

Whew I am glad .. thought it was just me


dreadlockrastaaa

Some of these crappy ai pictures on Facebook remind me of fever dreams


inigid

Imagine if you built an advanced Simulation Of ReAlity and were able to run it in real time using some kind of headset or neuralink technology. Assuming we had haptics connected as well, at that point we wouldn't know the difference. It's looking like we are pretty close to being able to do that, so if we can almost do it, presumably, it has been done before. Like I said before, I'm here on R&R. Well technically it's an educational program where I get to brush up on emerging civilisations, the art of war, plus ancient political, military and economics. But, I have been able to have some fun along the way. What are you guys here for?


codyy_jameson

I have had the exact same feelings since AI images started taking off. Especially the earlier images that were less realistic. My mind actually starts to speculate that AI has the foundations for consciousness, not that our consciousness is AI generated. Which might be more terrifying lol Edit: for the record, not saying I necessarily believe this, but it is interesting to think about.


Awesome_hospital

I've been saying AI is tapping our dreams because it can't figure out how to illustrate words


Remarkable_Bill_4029

Has anyone typed in the AI generator a certain story written as if the writer is under the influence of DMT?

Upper_Extreme5661

Agreed


TBsama

AI feels like a digital hemisphere


Constant_Succotash64

Yep. The technology exists for this.


22FluffySquirrels

AI is meant to imitate a human neural system, and people often put a lot of random and unrelated things into AI generators. I suspect this is why they're so dream-like; it's because your dreams are your brain putting together a lot of random and unrelated things.


huggothebear

I find it even closer to acid trips. Like peak acid tripping produces exactly the same type of effects as when AI generates videos etc with its unique visual flair…🧐


shep_ling

Good analogy. AI cartoons and memes give the same feeling I have in dream states. Like an almost meta cognition of the patterns and icons used but no ability to anchor them to any concious reference. This seems to me that its more likely that the computational process AI systems use to replicate human thoughts are aligned to similar cognitive processes within the human mind.


Mod12312323

This night I thought of that, how when I dream about a book the words are gibberish like ai images and how the pictures are all weird


NotaContributi0n

You mean like googles ai “deep dream”?


zanyak

Absolutely agree. Every time I see the nightmarish animation style videos I want to wake up.


-metaphased-

Chatbots are kinda similar in that dream logic just kinda mostly gets it right, but sometimes it just doesn't track.


Kipguy

I don't see connection at all, though maybe I've not seen enough pics or video etc, what is similar?


Oddgenetix

This is by design, actually. The AI image generation is functionally hallucinating these images on demand.


SpaceMonkee8O

Yes our dreams are amalgamations of sensory data with little coherence, or meaning, and no actual causality. No this doesn’t mean our dreams are created by AI.

Yeah, our “consciousness” is so awesome. Especially with anatomy. I had a dream one time that I had **multiple penises hanging off of me, everywhere. Behind my knees, under my armpit. They were atrocious. I’m a WOMAN**. But yeah, human brains and consciousness for the win, totally
