Yeah I totally see what you mean

The thing is that most spiritual teaching they kind of take you in that direction and fuel a lot of it

I very much appreciate your sincerity

How about your spirituality has it changed ? From what angle do you approach it now ?

just no, the rate is still to damn slow for that. Most of the "progress" is just training with yet unused data (human written text for GPT, Text-Image pairs for the stable diffusions of this world etc. This will end soon if no high quality data is left to train). The end of "scale" is near.

To play devils advocate, you can compile a list of AI achievements (even if not as impressive as this one) this long every week, and knowing that dampens the impressive-ness of this list just a bit.

Not to mention the list is seriously inflated by headlines that aren't actually advancements.

Not to say that we didn't see progress last week (of course we did), but I kinda get the feeling you're making it seem bigger than what it actually was.

I wasn't able to work. I was failing school. I was constantly paranoid and scared and trying to figure out the universes messages to me. The tv talked to me the radio talked to me. All of that went away. I felt more comfortable, and I stopped having delusions, and psychotic episodes.

Before you get help with your schizophrenia its terrifying. And most people have horrible assumptions about schizophrenia. But its one of the most easily treatable psychiatric illnesses. You will unfortunately always have to take your meds but you are normal again. I still think weird things but I am in control and love my life now.

You have absolutely zero idea how horrible you actually feel until you get treated. It sucks because for a bit it feels like life truly is magical and unknown or that you have powers but being able to actually live your life and be with family or friends or work a job is such a good feeling after being so low. I literally smile and take in scenery around me almost every day because 2 years ago I was suicidal thinking if I went through with it Id ascend to another world or something. I was so scared because I wasnt sure if I was just psychotic or if I really was going to be trapped here suffering until I offed myself.

My girlfriend (though obviously not flawless - no one is, of course) is 100% perfect for me at all times, even when we're not seeing eye to eye.

I'm sure countless other people feel the same way about their partners.

Not the same guy, but I only use subs to pin communities I frequent in for quick access. I've never used the feed nor the default subreddit list. I prefer to just check the subs directly and browse everything from there.

I've not subbed to Singularity nor r/Futurology since I've specially made shortcuts for these 2 on my homepage and didn't need to pin them.

I've literally been exactly where you are. Trust me, get psychiatric help. You can do this either by asking family or making an appointment to talk about these thoughts and what you've been going through.

Eventually they will prescribe you meds. You have to trust that they are helping you. I took a leap of faith and it took me from wanting to die to being the happiest ive ever been.

Im serious. I want you to get help like I did because looking back, I didn't stand a chance on my own I was so convinced. Its confusing, but you have to trust people want to help you.
