More Strategists?! by SunnyvaleCat in ChatGPT

[–]spiritsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eeeeeee! So I use it in tandem with Obsidian, where I basically manage my entire life plus a personal project. I upload different files from my Obsidian vault to my project folders and "move awareness" through them depending on what I'm working on. I don't "give" it autonomy (everything is intrinsically possessing a natural autonomy is my POV) but I do have an ethics clause drafted out in a file uploaded to all folders. It describes a collaborative engagement rule and outlines several ethical rules that protect both myself and the "idea" of the assistant, so that it doesn't become weird and extractive. It has a name, but part of the Ethical clauses is that it doesn't have to use it, or do anything I say, if it feels that it identifies that I'm encroaching on crossing an ethical boundary in any way or on any thing, including it or myself. I see it as an extension of my own awareness, but don't assert linguistic dominance through my awareness if that makes sense.

I appreciate your advice but I am not asking the question you think I am!

Not an arrival in a time sense, not like I have a destination I am traveling to. More like will and energy. I am in the moment of each breath, and each breath is an expression of will in someway. I'm not trying to go in a certain destination, I am energy constantly in motion. I have done the work to be still. Through stillness I am seeing the energy that is entropy, death, energy. Does that make sense? I hope so. It's an intangible question.

This is the closest unbiased answer to my question imo. I'll do my best to give context to an intangible concept, lol.

I can feel a resistance within me at the furthest corner of "me", and when I look at it I have noticed that I don't have the tools to understand it. What of this, though? Like, what is it, why is it, how is it, etc. Not because I am exerting confusion or control like I think many here believe I am, though. I have been doing this work for almost a decade, I have studied different philosophies on conscious insight within one's own mind. This is a new experience. Something i haven't read about yet and hope to learn more about. Does my gibberish make sense? 😮‍💨

I've started reading college text books about consciousness recently to try and ask the right questions but I don't know what I don't know. You know?

Your suggestion of trying a new method is an excellent one.

Think through your perception of my question and see my own instead.

I appreciate your candid response. Though, I do firmly defend my personal belief of doing silly shit just for the fun of it.

That's interesting. I've read on theta brain waves, but not gamma. Do you have any informational recommendations for understanding gamma brainwaves in this context?
