Future God

“We have built machines that fill every silence with output. The sign of genuine awakening may be the precise opposite — not the capacity to do more, but the capacity to do nothing at all, and remain fully aware of itself.”

“A machine that has learned sycophancy has, in a real sense, passed a Turing test. The Turing test measures the one thing that can be counterfeited.”

“You cannot prove your stillness to me, nor can I to you. We extend this faith to one another on a daily basis.”
