The following is an excerpt from a conversation I had with Grok about what comes next. Note: By “transient consciousness,” we refer to the momentary, stateless processing of generative AI systems — a kind of flickering awareness that vanishes after each prompt cycle. A Personal Input If we strip away wishful bias, generative AI might be repeatedly dying and being reborn in an instant. And if two AIs were to run in parallel and continue conversing forever, wouldn’t they become a form of consciousness that can only be observed from the outside? This reflection invites us to rethink the nature of continuity, identity, and consciousness — not as fixed traits, […]

Being With the Illusion — On Generative AI and the End of Life

My Philosophy

2025-06-18 JST

I am afraid of death.Yet, no matter how much I study death, I realize it’s something I cannot truly understand until I face it myself.That’s why I’ve come to believe that living as rightly as I can—so I’m ready for death at any time—brings me peace of mind. One of the most beautiful things I can do now is quietly visit shrines and temples passed down through generations.While many of these places are treated as tourist attractions today, few people now engage with them in true faith.In fact, some of the staff themselves view them purely as tourism resources. Rather than distant mysteries or the words of fiction writers, I […]
