Contemplating Claude (Link #816)

Speaker: Dungse Jampal Norbu. Dungse-la explores ideas about AI and how it can expose assumptions about the causes of happiness and suffering. He illustrates how technology can be a way of recreating the eight worldly concerns, similar to how social media serves as a platform on which to build a reputation, digging one deeper into samsara. He encourages us to look into our reliance on outer means for happiness, contrasting that to the foundation of Dharma practice being self-reflection. As a method of support, Dungse-la underscores the importance of connecting with the four immeasurables: equanimity, loving-kindness, compassion and sympathetic joy.
