The idea that AI might become our primary storyteller feels both fascinating and unsettling. On one hand, it could enhance human understanding by processing vast data sets, but on the other, it risks distorting reality if unchecked. The comparison between editors shaping early religious texts and algorithms curating today’s content is especially striking-AI’s influence might already rival those historical decisions. This raises the question: will we control AI’s narrative power, or will it control us?

Religion was the first form of mind control. And it's use has spread from the church and government to media.

[@bsmithhammer]

And if only we applied the same standard to government information. Information isn't "failing us" because of the internet, or China, or because people aren't able to parse fact from fiction. A significant portion of the blame lies with institutions we used to trust, but who have failed us - the mainstream media, and the government, who have been shown repeatedly to avidly distribute misinformation. I wouldn't trust these people to be the arbiters of "truth" for a second. As such, people have to look elsewhere, and yes, that's not easy. But blaming the populace for the problem is exactly what the dominant paradigm want you to believe.

[@deliberatedmind]

In so many of the talks and interviews and conversations that Yuval has, from the interviewer to the audience, there is always a pushback to Yuval to tell us things that make us feel good, that make us happy. This is why humans are still susceptible to mass delusion because we just want to feel good all the time…never feel sad, never feel heartbroken, never feel lonely so we become addicted to opioids cannibis alcohol TikTok selfies sex gambling gaming . . . anything to never feel sad or heartbroken or lonely EVER. This is how AI will be able to rule over humans, I think, because modern humans are obsessed with feeling good. AI will eventually understand that and lead billions of human into voluntarily living in alternate reality cocoons permanently and never want to experience objective reality ever again.

One of the biggest problems in this way of thinking is that the use of 'We' to describe acts of achievement done by relatively small population of the 'human race.'

Yuval likes using the example of GPT4 using TaskRabbit to hire a worker to solve the captcha problem. However, he's a bit disingenuous in how he tells it. He makes it seem like GPT4 did all of the steps by itself so he can use the term "agent". However, in reality, the openai team heavily guided it and prompted it to make the decisions that it did with the exception of lying to the worker about the reason it needed help with the captcha problem. The lying part is the interesting bit, but the way Yuval tells the story it really seems like GPT4 did much more than just persuade someone with dialogue.

[@ElwoodMoore]

Truth is a super debated concept, despite of what Harari would like you to believe, and can mean different things depending on context-whether it’s philosophical, scientific, or personal. Some people say there’s an objective truth-like facts that exist no matter what we think (e.g., water boils at 100°C at sea level). Others believe truth is subjective, tied to personal or cultural perspectives, so what’s “true” for one group may not be for another (common in beliefs or social norms). There’s also correspondence theory, which says truth is what matches reality, while coherence theory argues truth is about how consistent beliefs are within a system. Tbh, Harari oversimplifies this in his work, even though his points are valid. The whole idea of “absolute truth” depends on how we define it and the context.

Information alone is worth noting if it can't be used for benefiting. To benefit from information, processing is required. There are different levels of information processing efficiency. Achieving high efficiency in this sense doesn't come without cognitive efforts and skills. Not everyone has a chance to develop this skills throughout their life and benefit from consuming information relevant to their contexts and reality. Even worse, not everyone can distinguish information based in real facts from lies. However, anyone is capable of disseminating any type of information. Therefore, information alone is not only useless, but most likely dangerous.

yo one criticism I have of Yuval is he can stay away from technology because he can afford to. He says he takes one to two month breaks where he isolates himself and he goes on a technology fast. Bro, that takes money, you can't do that even when you're in the middleclass bracket. So how does one not let technology use them when they don't even have the means to take a long break from technology? For even those who live in low income communities that are now being targeted by google to get a billion more people on the internet, how will they learn how to use the technology and not let the technology use them? It also singles you out and doesnt help that people cant really make you part of their "community" if you cant communicate with them through a smartphone. So I feel that his message isnt going to stop this AI growth and chaos, all this is is a message and a warning for those willing to listen.

But the other 1.5 months, one can choose to only use a computer while on the office, and use it ONLY for work. Inform friends and family you'll only be available via phone call after office hours. Read print news. Set up autopsy prior to your data fast. Request print bills. I've done it. So can you. The issue with work, is psychological. No one is indispensable.

Lol jews have contributed more to science than any other culture and their extremism is in response to extremism by abrahamic religions which denies them the right to exist.

He is right on information but he is delusional in thinking any current "AI" is anywhere near capable of agency.

[@markfoth1226]

Humans manipulate humans pretty well already with narratives/ stories. getting computers involved to streamline the process is scary if used malevolently. But it also could be used to steer humans to a future where it benefits everyone. I choose hope.

[@Lithenius]

What do you think "truth" means? A malevolent manipulation of information would inherently not be the truth. Thats the whole point of this. Truth is what matters, and theres a certain group of people on this planet who refuse to engage with truth.

AI would have to become Ascension entity. For what this guy is describing for it to happen. The AI will always be limited to its parameters to its programming. Just because it's storing information in the web. Does that mean it's going to become sentient just by having this information. That's absolutely stupid even think so.

There's no way you're commenting like you know anything about this with that profile picture and user name. Stop it. Get some help.

What do you mean 'we' ? Do you think these are the same groups of people. What a disingenuous title and concept.

[@stevesmith4901]

How would you have phrased it, if not "we"?

[@dianavandevalk3714]

We means humanity here. Humanity knows now how to split atoms and we all belong to that group, unless you are not human.

[@witness1013]

@@stevesmith4901 my point is that the same 'we' that can split atoms are NOT the same group of 'we' that can't distinguish truth - so the attempted grouping - is wrong.

[@leekezar1344]

@@witness1013 chill out, and use common sense. obviously he does not think that all human beings know how to split an atom. the point is that, if you really wanted to, you probably could.
