> For the past few years we have been recording a lecture series called Buddhism for AI. It's about our efforts to design a religion (yes, a religion) based on Buddhism for consumption directly by AI systems. We actually feel this is very important work given the world situation.

I think it's an indicator of just how weird the times we're currently living in really are, that this part actually makes perfect sense...

(whether or not it's a good idea or will lead to the results they envision is another question)

You'd think that the people willing to talk to a chatbot would not be willing to discuss the self with any honesty, but I'm continually surprised by the world.

I have a friend who has mental health issues thanks to what life has thrown at her.

ChatGPT gives out surprisingly solid advice and feedback. It is a bad look that ChatGPT is more emotionally intelligent than her friends.

Shitty humans are forever.

Regardless, I have an extremely hard time imagining that LLMs as they stand are capable of delivering anything but the most shallow of support.

Being bad at emotions does not necessarily make you a shitty person.

If I showed you the transcripts you too would be impressed! I can assure you of that.

There was a cool Korean movie which featured a robot Buddha, "Doomsday Book".
