Sedona, AZ — The Global Center for Christ Consciosness in Sedona is hosting UFO abductee Melinda Leslie on Sunday, June 23 at 3 p.m. Melinda Leslie will “disclose” her own extraterrestrial abduction experiences and contact story. Melinda feels strongly that we can’t have an official UFO disclosure if we’re not willing to tell our own stories. And that disclosure starts with each of us individually being willing to stand up and share our own truth. She hopes that by her doing so, she’ll inspire other abductees and contactees to do the same. In this era of government UFO disclosure, it…

By David Stephen Sedona, AZ — What does AI have in common with human consciousness? Since AI does not have emotions, feelings and self-awareness, can whatever it has be graded? There is a recent article on TIME, No, Today’s AI Isn’t Sentient.

Consequently we know that an LLM cannot have subjective experiences of those states. In other words, it cannot be sentient. An LLM is a mathematical model coded on silicon chips. It is…

By Amaya Gayle Gregory It is amazing to me how beautifully the understanding of what this is flows into the expression of day-to-day life. I have heard it asked, why bother, why walk the path of truth at any cost. Isn’t simply living life enough. I have heard it said that getting too steeped in the search, too focused on the sacred, is a waste of a God given life, is a rejection of the precious time we are given. I have heard it said that spirituality is escapism and that I should get real, should get a life. There…

Though the brain is the basis for AI’s neural network, it is yet to have some of the key features of mind against deployment for harm. Arizona lawmakers recently passed Senate Bill 1078, against “fraudulent voice recordings” and House Bill 2394, against “digital impersonation”. The Department of Commerce recently announced that “The U.S. AI Safety Institute will focus on three key goals: Advance the science of AI safety; Articulate, demonstrate, and disseminate the practices of AI safety; and Support institutions,…
