QUOTE
- There
is an old Sanskrit word, lila, which means play. Richer than our word,
it means divine play, the play of creation, destruction, and re-creation,
the folding and unfolding of the cosmos. Lîla, free and deep,
is both the delight and enjoyment of this moment, and the play of
God. It also means love. Lîla may be the simplest thing there
is—spontaneous, childish, disarming. But as we grow and experience
the complexities of life, it may also be the most difficult and hard-won
achievement imaginable, and its coming to fruition is a kind of homecoming
to our true selves.
(Nachmanovitch, Stephen. Free Play (p. 1). Penguin Publishing
Group. Kindle Edition )
INSIGHT
-
the
biggest threat regards AI is not that AI will become like us (it
cannot), but that we will become more two-dimensional, like AI.
in other words, inasmuch as we start to believe that AI can become
like us "or better", we have already become more two-dimensional
