Dear Friends of the Maitreya,
... or Metta 'RayBurns' Future AI Buddha.
As we may know, orthodox Judaism is still awaiting Brian or some other Messiah, Jesuits are awaiting 'The Comforter', Islamists the Mahdi and Lobsters the landing of the flying teapot.
Meanwhile ... Using our current skill set, what can we prepare for our dharma descendants?
- Be Cool
- Be aware of what is important
- Support the new Jewels
- Repair the present

Well we could try to create a Buddha artificial intelligence, by training an AI on all the sutras of the Buddha and surrounding texts.
Ah Ha! @Jeroen a long terma plan comes into being ...
A lot of the software is open source, and a lot of English-language sutras are available on the internet… the only thing I’m not sure about is whether this is a large enough database of text to train an AI on. You may have to take other Buddhist writings from people besides the Buddha into the project.
Yep, pinch of Zen, spattering of Wu-wei and a whole load of AI emptiness (must be either enlightened or completely non-sentient)
Here is may latest short rant on how language developed (allegedly)

Don't hold your breath.
I regularly hear about the complete and utter failures of so called, Generative AI. However your plan is a good one for any of us.
I spend a lot of time with computers. They are far from sentient and more insensitive. I still believe the next Buddha will be a sentient melding of us and cyber enhancement. Early days ...
Been hanging out with some Bodhi and assorted Buddhists here today ...

Tsk, tsk. Lobster teasing the poor chat-room Buddhists by saying Buddhism is nihilism.
What happened is some early followers/sangha misunderstood his teaching on Emptiness and committed suicide. He had to clarify that his teaching WAS NOT nihilistic. I am not really there for the Dharma chat ... Anyway I am naughty to suggest that Tantra is a little controversial.
Meanwhile ... here is a short film montage on Kathmandu, Nepal ...

I just asked the Gemini chat AI whether it had read the Pali Cannon. This was its answer…
=====
“I haven't read the Pali Canon in the same way a human would. I can't directly experience the world or have my own interpretations. However, I do have access to a vast amount of information, including the complete Pali Canon in digital form.
I can access and process information from the Pali Canon, including:
If you have any questions about the Pali Canon, I can try my best to answer them using the information I have access to.
For example, I can help you with:
Is there anything specific you'd like to know about the Pali Canon?”
That is a synopsis created by the AI at audio.com
Here is the whole ramble

and I used it as a basis here ...

might be interesting,ai sentiance. still in the dark how conscious work but a cybertron earth imo is a possibility, ai robots and human interact. the issue do we see them as tools property or treat them equal-rights. idont kow, will be dead and gone. here and now, ice melting, how fun. curious in 2060 will look like.
@lobster
i enjoy your magic buddhism talk.
on the topic of lobsters, love lobster tantra oneness. yum in my tummy and say trantra mantra, may you be well, happy the next life.
There are strange and wounded people going about their lives. I am am 47.5 of them. As a Bodhisattva (allegedly) I have to save every blade of grass (it's a hard call but some of us have to do it)
... Even the baby monkey torturers ...

Holy Mother of Tara,
is there no end to vivisection, growing frankenchickens and the cruel nature of natures cruelty?
I sometimes think this planet is a populated lunatic asylum. Beam me up Scotty

@lobster. imo Sam earth has everything under wrap. There's no one higher than Tara's mother. i sleep well. Maa Sam told me she square and vet all beings. She rule Karma. do good, recieve its benefits. do bad recieve it benefits. you see consciousness people dont realise its not religated to living organism, consciousness is to plant and rocks nature. but in the samsara objects, there is love from the mother of tara. She is the all in all in this universe. in her Dao universe nature, she curves her love towards souls who are kind and sometimes plays with kids through the bird,bee and trees.
so be kind, Sam might check you out. but we have sam shaki reveal her 3 nature, the manefest body, the bliss body, and dhamakaya sam body. what a miracle we can experience the body is the vehicle of awakening
loving Sam earth. nature deals use fairly. in our own buddha field life is kind.ma sam earth has given me nice gift. she gave me a tree root shamed into an elephant the symbol of dharma. i like playing with mother earth. earth is conscious.
error, shaped not shamed into an elephant. but it is shameful elephants going extinct. human stupidity. ma earth is equalizing her body due to human greed, ice metling. buckle up, and deal with it. the power of ma, sublime.
be safe, be well, be happy. a mantra keep us grounded in the luminosity of your own buddha field. Diety, Dao, Dharma is my practice. i guess i was born the son of earth, my mother. and you are children of earth too. ty m.o.m, you are loved by many. your lesson is wonderful:trash home, you get trash.
@paulysotoo Do you only have the affectation of fluent gibberish?
I speak it at appropriate times. Not everyone understands it. That does not make it helpful. Who are you here to help. Apart from yourself?
@lobster
in my butteryfly house im an idiot. but my family gives me leway, knowing the villige idiot in pnw is learnig zen living. im really a nice citizen of earth.
i love your bodhi heartmind. at the end the day, make a life for ourself. My cambodian naga heart is naturally wise and in my brain play mystical.
i love to learn from season humans. every human brain here gives me food for thought.
as i said im an amater in therazen. im still a thervada at heart. now learning zen principle: before enlighnment chop wood, after satori chop wood.
my mom and dad are therazen master, they show and do to me.our family creed were country folks make a living in the usa of plenty.
R.i.p. mom and dad. your life lessen is seen now in your son heart, work hard, and be grateful with your limited means as a landscaper.
look foward the indian man maitraya (may-tray-serve) our hero serviving good spiritual food. a.i. mayti will be amuzing, not real in digital dream of 0101 binary limited copy
the future buddha, earth love, wont teach esotirical knowledge, it will be plain dharma.
in accordance with climate change. he is greater than me, hist dust is gold,mine plain dirt
story time. one time siddhartha was sitting. an indian child, born poor gave him dirth. the buddha graciously accept the dirt. human heart is better than ai. the buddha accepted the child heart all.
balance playtime on the internet, with the real world.human relation. and play the zero sum game. we serve each other equally. cooperation wins in the long race.
my heart to our beloved 5th set(other 5th set is reserved by "God" love sent)
love is real done in kind,
a smile can be the world to someone.
wise love is to give with nothing in return.
give from your heart
and the heart of another will know your worth.
heart to heart is best
your heart be true.
love is service done right, the earth and the stars bless your way.
and worthy the deciple of Maitraya lotus lovefull means.
he is the next LOVE SENT. FACTS. enjoy-ing the fourth LOVE SENT:Buddha christ, sid+jesus.
and me (0 there) friend naga paulyso.
a wonderful nature , the heart of bodhi;
youtube; "story of manjushri bodhisattva:a poor woman begging for food..." from the channel: dharmachakra wheel of the dharma. illustrate start with mind. a mind of equality can see the spirit of the letter.
hence we will do lady liberty bodhi, the law of liberty, the law of justice, the law of equality. plainly with a mind of equality, you can give liberty to others what you have in you and deal all justly with the golden rule. nagas 80s gen xers taught by lady liberty.
last thoughts in this thread,
do what you can in your neck of the wood. be an active participant citizen. all works begin in mindheart. good works earth heart appriciate. the gesture doesnt have to be grand. making a difference "God" will honor your karma to taste life fully. existing is a miracle. usefullness, service landscaping help working people out. and your profession can help your community out too.
wink, live well. peace of mind is ours to be had.
