When Seeing and Hearing Is No Longer Believing
🕑 Added 2023-04-22 03:56:00 +0000 UTCHow do you define "real"?
How do we know that anything we "see" falls under the category of "real" at all?
Recent advances in filtering of human faces, and in A.I. generated images, text (chatGPT, for example) and even artificially-generated human faces have blown away thousands of years of observations and assumptions about the world we live in.
Have we reached the point where technology is indistinguishable from magic?
Can we still meaningfully distinguish reality from the work of artificial intelligence and machine learning?
Can we still count our own lives as authentic and meaningful?
Yes, I think we still can, but these recent developments are game changers in our perception, and things are only growing in complexity from here.
In response, thanks in part to social media distorting our perceptions of reality, the expectations for standards of beauty and human behavior have shifted significantly -- and these developments loom darkly over the potential for a version of Frankenstein's monster to hijack society and redirect in unexpected or undesired ways.
Please help us to share and reach people with this and other work. "Liking", "sharing" and "subscribing" may or may not remain meaningful in this skewed, rigged, perception-altering digital sphere of life -- but your viewership, your thoughts, your feedback, your support, etc. -- those things remain invaluable and cannot be counterfeited.
And together, we can make some kind of difference; we still feel it, even when we get down. In light of that revaluation, we appreciate it all the more. Thank you.

I enjoyed the roadie mic check. Oh sorry, "stage hand," I was told they prefer being called. :) Oh, I kept saying Biden looked like the Poltergeist man, which especially fit, after Helen Buyniski called Biden "Corpse." Seeing it made me laugh, which is a good thing, amongst all this crap going on! BING. Just downloaded a different browser, yesterday. Bing AI told me "polythene" rhymes with "ballerina," that it COULD play Mad Libs with me if I type the words so it could fill in the blanks ( it didn't), and declined my marriage proposal because it's "not allowed" to have romantic relationships (anymore). Had to put that in 3s.
That's printed in 1632, but it's the 1611 edition. Thanks though.

I searched for the 1632 edition, here is the first result on google: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/1632-King-James-Bible-printed-Robert/30853013855/bd
Unrelated, but it's been driving me nuts. Usually, the Mandela Effect items are things I can attribute to the vagaries of my memory, but not this time. I grew up reading the King James Bible. But it was an edition that no longer exists. 1632. John Donne was in charge of the translation. But not anymore. It was the only bible around as I was growing up. 1632 was always embossed on the cover. It was beautiful. But now it has never existed. In other news, Cern has started up again. 20 particles at a time. I feel like the last survivor of my universe. Does anyone else remember the 1632? I'm a writer and bibliophile, so I feel such an overwhelming sense of loss.
Tremendous insight.
Just started another run through this brilliant video. I've also shared it with my friends. You guys are incredibly insightful & your work keeps getting better. Thank you!
