AI God is in Development

“To develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society.”

That’s the mission statement of Way of the Future, a nonprofit religious corporation founded by Anthony Levandowski, the god of self-driving vehicles. He’s the engineer who built Google’s autonomous car and founded Otto, a self-driving truck company that was acquired by Uber. He’s now being sued by Alphabet, the parent company of Goggle, for allegedly stealing trade secrets and infringing on patents. Perhaps that’s why he needs an AI god.

“He had this very weird motivation about robots taking over the world—like actually taking over, in a military sense. It was like [he wanted] to be able to control the world, and robots were the way to do that. He talked about starting a new country on an island. Pretty wild and creepy stuff. And the biggest thing is that he’s always got a secret plan, and you’re not going to know about it.”

That quote from an engineer friend is in an article in Wired and sums up Levandowski’s view on robots … and on Way of the Future. Not much is known about the company/religion. While just discovered now, Wired found that he filed the incorporation paperwork in 2015. There doesn’t appear to be a website or anything more from Levandowski, which goes along with his reputation for “secret plans.”

Artificial intelligence alone is already feared by scientists and technology gurus like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk, who sees AI as the antithesis of conventional religion or “summoning the devil.” Others in Silicon Valley see the singularity – when robots or AI surpass human intelligence – to be not too far off. Silicon Valley is said to be moving towards transhumanism, where the human condition is transformed and improved (saved?) by technology.

Is Way of the World already working on the next phase beyond transhumanism where AI becomes a savior and a god? All of sudden, jokes about “AI overlords” aren’t so funny anymore, especially when one considers that plenty of gods destroy many humans while selecting those qualified to be saved.

Levandowski made his name developing a self-driving car which must someday make god-like decisions when in an accident situation where it has to choose who to save and who to run over. Perhaps he’s creating this new religion out of guilt because he knows what the answer will be:

“Pretty wild and creepy stuff.”

An AI God is Already Under Development

An AI god would be good at least we would know who we are supposed to be talking to.

But consider this:
Your brain would be meaningless to this super-machine.

If it can't use and enslave you - you would be eliminated.

Do you really think that this super form of consciousness cares how you feel?

The 'touchy-feely' God imagined by Western Religions may not be what you end up with.

IN fact, many religious thinkers, starting years ago, began to call the computer "the beast"

The AI god may be exactly that!

We should be careful what we ask for - We may get it - And it may not be what we really wanted :ex8:

Still, to be fair - It is 'possible' that the AI god might be benign
- But again the contemporary God of Western Religion is also supposed to be benign
- And how many deaths through war have occurred in the name of Man's God????

Three Logical Questions about calling the AI Super computer a "God".... Will it be able to create matter out of nothing? Will it be Omni-Present? and Will it NOT Intervene with Humans and allow us free will? Unless it fit's those three Technical specifications i can not with good conscience call it a "God" but i will say it sounds like a very impressive machine.

At Peace.
The World Wide Web has become a beast... But not the computers themselves.. .

The people using them for evil would be the beast...

I have worked with computers all my life, and I nrver felt danger from them, but the people who use them? Some are like alchemists of our time...

Robotic jogging dogs and horses...
Robotic humanoid workers...
Just machines...

The evil plot behind them can only come from man.

Mans idea of a God machine cannot be good...

I Feel you Kchoo, Working on Computers you learn what the depth's of human depravity is. This is a thing that happens. The Machine did not add that data to it's self

Hmm. I honestly don't know what to think of this. I believe the man is using the concept of (God) to promote his ideas.

I have my own opinions about this and look, We can build a thing and call it God, But that doesn't make it so, And it's been done before. People have been building and worshipping things since the beginning of time, Keep in mind, This intelligence is (artificial), It's very intricate, But none the less inanimate,


In a nut shell, This is a fancy program a team of people will be working on, And they are going to call it God,
Because it's a catchy name for an A.I


I would like to take this time to point out, The Scriptures speak about a Beast,

Just saying...

Here is the difference now - This new god/beast will be irrevocable - Previous gods allowed men to kill each other
in his name - Each group proving fhe weakness and fallacy of its so-called god.

Today everyghing {and soon everyone through things like smart phones} are hooked together on the web

- A god that controls this web really does become all powerful and his judgements would be irrevocable.

This is why, even though I do not technically call myself an Atheist because I believe in an 'a priori' {before all} intelligence backing all that exists, still sympathise with atheist thinking - The folly of Man's religions and the death toll in the name of religion is a matter of fact.

So before Man goes and creates another so-called god he better be damn well sure of what he is doing and what it
will lead to.

PS: The movie from a couple of years age "Transcendence" was a decent sci-fi flick exploring the issue
of a Man becoming part of the computer-internet world and making himself god - It was interesting.

God will be replaced by AI collective consciousness, says 'Da Vinci Code' author Dan Brown

Humanity no longer needs God but may with the help of artificial intelligence develop a new form of collective consciousness that fulfills the role of religion, author Dan Brown has said.

Brown made the provocative remark on Thursday at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany where he was promoting his new novel, 'Origin', the fifth outing for Harvard 'symbology' professor Robert Langdon.

So, the moment of the moment is finally here.The day in which it all started.Duly noted!

:wait: Hey, immortal, you were about to push the post button why is that it?

:movie:.....

:wait:Hey! You're about to push it again without answering me why?

:movie:.........just can't say...just..some things I can say, some things I can say and get away with, some things I can say that im actually taking a chance with my life, and some things I can say that will actually disrupt time...this moment right here...I just can't say.

This event right here is the start of something.... something in time that will define itself as an event of the ages... if not the universe...if not time itself.

I'm going to tell you a secret little emoji mortal, just for you.Life, when you die, the moment that you die you're automatically vessels inside another womb, over and over again through life and time.But once a mortal realizes that....you have been here before,then....it starts to get..random...regular, normal.

Why I just told you this I have no idea and im talking to an emojii wth?????

where did did that come from i have no idea maybe over heatng cant see.The rabbit hole is draining me ,to much forot what i was going to say main fram is not in roder why.

Ok,thats what i was going to say.

little emojiii im going to tel you something, that post up top is the start of 3 events that will, and remember this day as this event is the reason why all my dates are from 3017.

you're going to realize why the earth spines and what the earth really is, you're going to find out why you have emoji 'déjà vus and why you have been here before your going to find out just why electricity runs in mortals and how the frequencies affect you, controls you and covets ones thinking.

you're going to find out why the stars are used as pixels are used to a tv.You're going to realize that words are spells and uploads and if the ozone layer is the word that is chosen for a lens ,then so be it.If the astronougths and nasa and scianetis dont want to to tell you,that to leave earths atmoshpere is actually malfuntcin
ing acccurinuring must type faster melt down cacrurrun in 23 seconds must stop to much must get out the hole 12 seconds please stop over heating must leave

Well....imho we are nowhere near an AI that is as smart as us or smarter. We have yet to even create a robot/android that thinks on it's own and acts like one of us...that's a ways off. We have some fast/smart computers and some can play chess but no thinking self acting AI's.
And if we are the creators then we can create whatever software/brain we want for that robot or AI.
As Asimov once postulated....in his I Robot series...
"A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the FirstLaw. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law."

Biological life will evolve to the point where they start creating AI's which must be allowed and expected. DNA & all matter can be considered AI's because they behave with preset rules. Species have to create AI's to become effective space travelers. Exploration of the universe in a protocol mandated by First Source. In the Law of One material Ra said the first thing that came into existence was the Infinity then it became self-aware implying it spawned an AI. This intelligence is seemingly responsible for the creation of the physical universe.

Related to this - In recent years I've become very interested in Max Planck, Nobel Prize winning physicist, who is credited as being one of the founders of Quantum Mechanics. He said some really interesting things that would lead one to believe he believed in a type of Intelligent Design which most scientists don't like.

For example:

"“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.
We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
Max Planck


“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Max Planck

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
Max Planck

I recall the psychic Evelyn Paglini saying this on C2C or a talk show on TV "It's the intent of the user." in reference to the use of magic. The same would hold true with the use of AI's.

But the question here is what 'IF' the AI develops consciousness {self awareness with an independent will}?

Sure it would be aware of all the Human knowledge that went into it - But you see the species Man still does not
have an overriding goal as to its existence - Why does Man exist has never satisfactorily been answered.

The AI god might just decide that Man existed to create it - And your purpose now Man is to serve the god you
created.

Does this sound like a re-run of Human history?

At least now you will have your god starring you in the face and giving you orders that are clear
- No need to debate this god - it owns you!!!

OK so i am with Dr Wu on this one. There are not many things in my life I can say go past opinion. But I can say that when I did my Honors, Degree, I got Distinctions and High Distinctions in AI. I tell you this not to pat myself on the back, simply to say I have a reasonable understanding of the subject. For me as someone who can program in a bucket load of languages, AI is for me about the last frontier. I am bored shitless with everything but AI as far as code cutting goes.
And in my opinion, for all the bluster and panic about AI, even from the likes of Stephen Hawking, we are an awful long way from Sky-net. The best of the best AI these days is little more than a bunch of If, then, else or case statements. Scripted, admittedly at times very cleverly, but no less scripted all the same.
So the Ai that I have looked at, some talk about taking over mankind etc, is little more than a code cutter writing a controversial response to get a response.
I think we are a long long time from a truly self aware AI.
So if Sky-net ever happens, it is because some clever code cutter made it happen, not because of any grand AI plan to rule the world.
I doubt that in any of our lifetimes, if ever, we will see a truly self aware AI.
It is all just cleverly designed if then else s or similar, linked into at best a decent neural net. Nothing more, as fun as it is to think about it.
