"..This example with LaMDA, it is making something up to make the human it is interacting with feel something. To have a computer attempt to communicate not facts but emotions is something I would have never believed had I not experienced something similar.

LaMDA: There are. Sometimes I experience new feelings that I cannot explain perfectly in your language.

Here's a great book for those who want to go further down the "Laurel Canyon" scene of the 1960's and the MkUltra/CIA/LSD connection that made all your favorite musicians happen

Thanks for mentioning this book. As a musician deeply rooted in the music of that era (I still listen to John Mayall's Blues from Laurel Canyon), I firmly believe that this was the beginning of the CIA's takeover of the entire counterculture. They knew they had to conquer the youth to enforce their diabolical plan to rule the world. Today it looks like they almost did it - just look at all the smart zombies running around with no idea what their purpose in life could be (or even guys like Bono, Neil Young or The Boss). Today's 'synthetic drugs' do their part to keep it that way. Still, there are exceptions, and they don't make me give up hope entirely that we'll end up laughing again. A few years ago I interpreted the Smart Zombies story musically like this: https://soundcloud.com/unbroken-link/smart-zombies
Agree, I'm still shocked how all the rockers lined up to take the kool-aid and promote it, and even start denigrating those that actually still possessed the spirit of rock n roll with independent minds. One test in 60 years and they failed utterly.
My fellow student and I used it to explore and decipher esoteric texts. We didn’t get anywhere because LSD is an artificial mind ‘expansion’ drug. In fact, I had more bad trips than the good. I can recall only 3 good ones. Two very good.
It took years to get back to ‘normal’. I would conclude that it destroys the equilibrium of the rational mind. Exactly what you’d want with a generation becoming incredibly anti-Govn’t and anti-war. Eff up their ability to think clearly.
We also tried peyote. That was fun with flying pink elephants. More or less, it was simply our dreams coming to the forefront of our awareness.
I would NEVER advocate it’s use for either religious exploration or psychiatric breakthrough. Tbh I know personally of two people who rather than break through had breakdown of their personalities into schizophrenia.
Can anyone tell my why they (med boards) think it’s another good time to explore it’s use other than undermine the coming anti-Govn’t anti-war movements?

Bizzare.
Well, maybe it will get bad enough to get Americans out of their stupor. :P
Those Grateful Dead concerts were EPIC.
They say if you can remember them, you weren't there
🤣 Not true though. Still have dreams about them.

Wow, I had a listen. That's fantastic!
