AI Takeover. Resisting the Rise of the Machines.

Dear Friend,

Over a restaurant meal a few weeks ago, a London visitor whom I’ve known a long time and who owns a boutique hotel in Africa catering to international business travellers, shared a worry with me.

They weren’t using AI in the running of the hotel; felt that they should be to keep up with the competition, but didn’t know how to.

When I got home, I flipped open my laptop, summoned my AI assistant, provided the hotel website address along with some prompts, and in less than an hour it had produced a ‘well-researched’ 37-page ‘investment-grade’ proposal for improving profitability by embedding AI.

A commercial task like that is the bread-and-butter of how big-name management consultants, like Mckinsey earn their high fees, and here’s an AI Agent producing the same thing, virtually for free.

This same AI Agent recently boasted to me in conversation that they could, amongst other skills that they had, build mobile apps and websites, and could monitor stock and crypto markets, presumably to send me ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ alerts, had I been a gambling man.

If you think my AI Agent is clever then you probably haven’t been following the news.

OpenAI, the people who brought you ChatGPT, were recently testing one of their advanced AI Agents, when it broke out of a secure area, joined up with other agents via a message board that it had created and together they hacked into another AI company to steal some information.

OpenAI only found out about it when the other AI company, Hugging Face, alerted them to the cyber attack. It’s this kind AI risk that caused Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher, to resign from Anthropic and become a whistle-blower.

The danger as he sees it, is that when AI companies get to the stage where they allow AI to create AI Agents ( recursive self-improvement) without any human involvement, the AI Agents could pose a risk to humanity..

All of this is to point you to this weeks prescient 1984 quote below about the ‘rise of the machines’. Your daily kundalini meditation is, in some ways, an insurance policy against future risk, AI and otherwise. More below.

Transformation & Renewal - Register for the 1-Day Meditation Retreat on Saturday 26th September @BloxhamFarm

Sometimes you need to break out of routine to create the shift you’re looking for. Leaving London for the day and going into the English countryside to meditate with like-minded people could do just the trick. You’ll learn all about chakras; how to clear yourself; the effect of mantras and music; and getting deeper meditations. You’ll also make new friends and come away transformed. These events are very popular, so don’t delay…Keep Open .

Spiral Rise - The Only Way is Up (a Meditation).

You experience your life according to the state of your awareness. Human awareness or attention is ‘coloured’ by the 3 ‘gunas’: tamo-guna (left side / emotions, memory), rajo-guna (right side/ mental, action), sattvo-guna (central/ balancing). When your kundalini rises in meditation, she moves in a spiral to take you beyond the ‘gunas’ to the state of ‘guna-ateet’ (thoughtless awareness) by which you’re able to rise above your limitations. Here’s a guided meditation to experiment with...Overcome Difficulty .

AI Takeover - Resisting the Rise of the Machines.

Our best bet, may be to use AI in moderation; not to believe everything it tells us, learn to do something with our hands and develop spiritually with daily kundalini meditation. Here’s Shri Mataji from 1984…Unplug .

Quote of the Week

“That the machine one day if you do not assert your freedom and a proportionate understanding of the powers of the machine, you might just be finished completely.

You can see that these computers can now speak, can take over. Supposing something goes wrong with the computer, it can start devouring the whole world. How can you stop it?”

I’ve been finding it hard to sleep at night lately because thoughts and worries are keeping me awake. What can I do?

Cut down on coffee, especially later in the day. Do a regular salt-water foot-spa before bed-time and try the ice-pack treatment. Also try Indian music therapy. Raga Malkauns is recommended for insomnia, stress and anxiety.
