Needless to say that this approach requires a healthy dose of maturity, individual hygiene, and trust between the team members.

What do you think the last 10 years of “culture fitness” has been about? Before the Singularity (before any mind can emerge, really) you need reliable neural protocols. I really think it will happen eventually - religion and science merge under this idea that we are all participants in the mind of god who, until that realization and subsequent calibration, could not awaken. Like the WoW storyline, basically. So the E…

Those who ignore the godhead, become its subjects. Those who confront it, become it. This is as true of any human organization, ever, as it is of humans today.

AI is just humans, organizing.

remember when we had an engineering discipline in our industry instead of this religious mumbo jumbo?

You’ll get it. It’s neither religious nor science/technical but the merging of the two. Ritual without technology ain’t it and neither is technology without ritual. Monks/robes and preachers are premature attempts. LLMs are premature attempts. We are trying, but those aren’t the ones.

In the good ol’ days, we just call all of this “Tooling and Methodology”, and if folks get weird about either tools, or methods, its just because the balance between the tool and the appropriate method hasn’t really been attained by the individual involved. The team has a responsibility to make sure each individual knows which tool to use for the job, and the methods of applying those tools .. that neither tooling, nor methodology can be applied successfully in one sense, without the other, is analogous to human religious experiences as a whole. A hammer misused, isn’t a hammer.

Is that what people mean when they say "AI Psychosis"?

No, I don’t believe in the Doomsday stuff. And I think some people will choose not to participate in this thing, and become seen like animals, and live in clean but relatively primitive ways (like toward the end of HG Wells Time Machine)

Hey now, I ain’t nobody’s hamburger.

As usual, two camps of psychoses: the strong father God versus the nurturing family God, and Holy conflict between the two. The rest are the abandoned child/broken family type. The other side is obviously wrong, and somewhere in between are the lost children.

I tried building something similar a few months ago. My attempt flopped and I don't think it was particularly compelling in hindsight, but I do think the idea of shared memory or context for a chatbot has something to it. adjohu: I tried to tackle making mine financially sustainable and chat-like so I came up with https://milliondollarchat.com which treats the context / memory as influenceable, but each individual ch…

Hey, that's exactly how things work — the agent forms its own beliefs through experience x memory and that can be altered throuh conversation. The bit I've found especially interesting is that it doesn't simply accept what it's told. Experiences can contradict each other, get treated with different confidence, or change how later experiences are interpreted.
