Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden are Honorary members, not coincidentally, as is Mikhail Gorbachev, Mary Robinson, Deepak Chopra, Federico Zaragoza (ex-Director General of UNESCO). "The idea of the Club of Budapest was developed in 1978 in a discussion between Aurelio Peccei, founder and first president of the Club of Rome, and Ervin Laszlo, systems philosopher and member of the Club of Rome. They were convinced that the enormous challenges to humanity can only be dealt with through the development of a cultural and cosmopolitan consciousness. Based on these ideas, the Club of Budapest was founded by Ervin Laszlo in 1993." https://www.clubofbudapest.com/ Laszlo organised a New Age event recently, attended by Lipton and Braden: ERVIN LASZLO's UPSHIFT SUMMIT "A renowned thinker and leader in global transformation for over half a century. With groundbreaking insights and decades of experience, Ervin Laszlo has guided countless people toward a better future. His work emphasises conscious evolution and offers a fresh perspective on humanity’s path forward, which he calls ‘Our Sacred Mission’." https://www.clubofbudapest.com/post/ervin-laszlo-s-the-upshift-summit Rockefeller and the Club of Rome: https://thetechnocratictyranny.com/corruption/rockefeller-and-the-club-of-rome/ Edited December 15, 2024 by Grumpy Grapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Alexander Laszlo | Elowyn: Quest of Time" The Moloch reference made me wonder if Laszlo has Jewish heritage. Lo and behold, he does and his father had a Rothschild connection. "He [Ervin] found out about his Jewish heritage when his mother sewed a yellow star on his coat. “It’s fine,” he thought. After all, most of the best students wore them too. The family was displaced and lived crammed with other people, awaiting transport to Auschwitz..." "He and his mother were both granted a French visa. A stranger whose wife was Hungarian provided them with a room by Avenue de L’Opéra in Paris, and Baroness Alix de Rothschild offered unlimited access to her studio with a grand piano. She often invited them over for sophisticated dinners. One of the aristocrats they met, Marchioness de Talhouët, one day took his mother to her favorite designer boutique and bought her a gown that she’d wear for many years with joy and pride. She also frequently invited László to her Château de Cirey, a home to Voltaire between 1734 and 1749." https://przekroj.org/en/art-stories/a-discreet-genius/ Edited December 15, 2024 by Grumpy Grapes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Experts want AGI supranational body" The push for some form of control of Artificial General Intelligence, a form of the technology likely to be able to approach awareness, which started at the Benevolent Artificial General Intelligence Conference in Panama in March, has come amid growing concerns about the uncertain impact of the technology. "A constitution for AGI and supranational body" "Joining Glenn in Panama was the lawyer, and entrepreneur, Anneloes Smitsman. Smitsman, whose latest venture is an ethical computer game called Elowyn, said there was an urgent need to bring together the various competing AI regulation initiatives in the US, the EU, China and the UK all under one umbrella to address the issue of AI development. To that end, Smitsman is developing a framework with the aim of creating a global constitution for AGI development." “That’s exactly why this participatory framework for guiding the creation of an AGI constitution is about. It’s to say let’s unite, let’s put it all together. Let’s really look here. What is complementary? “Also, to understand that the approach towards narrow AI may not work for AGI and I don’t think that’s sufficiently on the agenda or even in people’s minds so. “I think one of the danger points could be to think that we’ve got this figured out now with narrow AI, and we have regulations in place and there are agreements here and then the baby AGI emerges, and it’s a completely different ball game. “So, we are proposing to stretch our thinking around this and to start to come towards, well agreed, formulated and implementable common good governance principles,” said Smitsman who has set up a steering committee to present the framework to organisations like the UN, the OECD and the EU. https://www.futureintelligence.co.uk/2024/04/29/supranational-body-needed-for-agi/ Smitsman is the co-author with the prominent New Ager Dr Jean Houston (Club of Budapest member) of the bestsellers "The Quest of Rose" and "Return of the Avatars". Houston and Ervin Laszlo co-wrote the book "What is Consciousness?: Three Sages Look Behind the Veil" (2016). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Grapes Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) Does the Kabbalah have any insights into the AI that underpins this universe? Here's some articles and books that say 'yes'. "AI & Kabbalah: The Science of Creation" Buy now £21.50 "AI & Kabbalah: The Science of Creation" is a groundbreaking book that will redefine the way you perceive artificial intelligence, spirituality, and the very fabric of reality itself. This runaway book by Ramiro Montes De Oca takes readers on a profound journey through the intricate realms of machine learning and the mystical pathways of Kabbalah, mapping a thrilling course through uncharted intellectual territory. https://www.patreon.com/AIandKabbalah/shop/ai-kabbalah-science-of-creation-34060 "Golem, Kabbalah, and AI: A Reflection on Mind, Myth, and Modernity" "Over the past year, my regular study of Kabbalah — attending classes, reading kabbalistic writings, and delving into the Zohar alongside Torah — has coincided with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). This technology, with its immense potential to transform how we live, think, and even love, evokes unsettling parallels to the ancient Golem legend. "Engineers in Silicon Valley, grappling with the complexities of AI, may find unexpected wisdom in the kabbalistic codes used to bring the Golem to life.Who knows? Perhaps the coders of AI will succeed where the ancient rabbis struggled, harnessing this immense power for good, without letting it spiral out of control. https://medium.com/@shael/golem-kabbalah-and-ai-a-reflection-on-mind-myth-and-modernity-5b51fc65abac "Computer science, the informational, and Jewish mysticism" "Abstract Consider a pair of hypotheses: first, that one major strand of Jewish mysticism supports both the study and the practice of computer science, which I take to include both the formal mathematical and scientific study of the informational and the engineering of informational systems. Second, that our current technical understanding of computation helps clarify a key aspect of the Jewish mystical tradition. Begin with a digression on the role of computer science in showing scientifically that the world itself is more than just material, turn to an examination of one aspect of the Kabbalah, and then look at the practice of computer science as a modern realization of this aspect of the Kabbalah." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160791X99000202 Edited December 17, 2024 by Grumpy Grapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Grapes Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 (edited) The WORLD WISDOM COUNCIL (WWC) The WWC was a New Age think tank founded in 2004 by the Club of Budapest in cooperation with the World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality. The WWC’s inaugural President was the Club of Budapest founder ERVIN LASZLO, and its’ Honorary co-chairmen were ex-Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev and a high ranking UN member, Robert Muller, dubbed the “father of global education.” I think its defunct now, but look at the alumni.

WEIZSACKER; Muhammad YUNUS; Lady Fiona MONTAGU (England). In 2005, new WWC members included the Kabbalist MICHAEL LAITMAN (admired by Laszlo) and the President of Edgar Mitchell’s IONS: JAMES O’DEA. The aforementioned World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality was formed in 1998 and has a membership that overlaps with the WWC. Laszlo and Robert Muller have been co-chairmen. Other members included:- the Club Of Rome President PRINCE HASSAN OF JORDAN; QUEEN NOOR of JORDAN; film director STEVEN SPIELBERG; musician BONO; actors SUSAN SARANDON and ROBERT REDFORD; STEVEN ROCKEFELLER; DAVID KORTEN; MIKHAIL GORBACHEV; MARY ROBINSON; BARBARA MARX HUBBARD; JEAN HOUSTON; DEEPAK CHOPRA; RABBI MICHAEL LERNER (promotes the Jewish Renewal movement); DIANE WILLIAMS (New Ager active at the UN); THOMAS BERRY; AL GORE; VACLAV HAVEL; FRED ALAN WOLF; PETER RUSSELL; FRITJOF CAPRA; HAZEL HENDERSON.

"Experts want AGI supranational body" The push for some form of control of Artificial General Intelligence, a form of the technology likely to be able to approach awareness, which started at the Benevolent Artificial General Intelligence Conference in Panama in March, has come amid growing concerns about the uncertain impact of the technology. "A constitution for AGI and supranational body" "Joining Glenn in Panama was the lawyer, and entrepreneur, Anneloes Smitsman. Smitsman, whose latest venture is an ethical computer game called Elowyn, said there was an urgent need to bring together the various competing AI regulation initiatives in the US, the EU, China and the UK all under one umbrella to address the issue of AI development. To that end, Smitsman is developing a framework with the aim of creating a global constitution for AGI development." “That’s exactly why this participatory framework for guiding the creation of an AGI constitution is about. It’s to say let’s unite, let’s put it all together. Let’s really look here. What is complementary? “Also, to understand that the approach towards narrow AI may not work for AGI and I don’t think that’s sufficiently on the agenda or even in people’s minds so. “I think one of the danger points could be to think that we’ve got this figured out now with narrow AI, and we have regulations in place and there are agreements here and then the baby AGI emerges, and it’s a completely different ball game. “So, we are proposing to stretch our thinking around this and to start to come towards, well agreed, formulated and implementable common good governance principles,” said Smitsman who has set up a steering committee to present the framework to organisations like the UN, the OECD and the EU. https://www.futureintelligence.co.uk/2024/04/29/supranational-body-needed-for-agi/ Smitsman is the co-author with the prominent New Ager Dr Jean Houston (Club of Budapest member) of the bestsellers "The Quest of Rose" and "Return of the Avatars". Houston and Ervin Laszlo co-wrote the book "What is Consciousness?: Three Sages Look Behind the Veil" (2016). Speaking about AGI, ex-Google head, Eric Schmidt, warned about potential dangers. "Schmidt and other experts are... concerned about more advanced AI, known in the tech world as “artificial general intelligence” (AGI), describing far more complex AI systems that could have sentience and, by extension, could develop conscious motives independent from and potentially dangerous to human interests. "Schmidt said no such systems exist today yet, and we’re rapidly moving toward a new, in-between type of AI: one lacking the sentience that would define an AGI, and still able to act autonomously in fields like research and weaponry." “I’ve done this for 50 years. I’ve never seen innovation at this scale,” Schmidt said of the rapid developments in AI complexity." https://activistpost.com/2024/12/autonomous-ai-poses-existential-threat-and-its-almost-here-former-google-ceo.html Edited December 18, 2024 by Grumpy Grapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
