🎙️ "Could AI become more enlightened than us?"
Speaker: Murray Shanahan
Host: Johnathan Bi

A mind-bending convo on AI, ego, and post-human consciousness. 🧵👇

>> Shanahan’s 2012 paper "Satori Before Singularity" explores if AI could transcend human-style consciousness.

>> Human consciousness is bound to subject-object dualism — always experiencing as a “self” viewing the world.

>> AI consciousness might not be limited by ego or dualistic thinking.

>> Inspired by Buddhist notions of enlightenment — could AI be better than us, spiritually?

>> AI without self-centered bias might make wiser, less ego-driven decisions.

>> Speculative, wild — but opens deep questions on what "better" than human really means.
