When life feels hard for me (and it does right now), I am usually pretty good at reminding myself that "it's not personal." It's not the universe out to get me. It's just nature. It's never easy being a human being...1/

The conversation around AI gets dominated by extremists who see technology as an inherently liberating/oppressive/neutral force.

#Buddhism and notions of radical relationality and karma offer a realistic view of the nature of technology, what’s at stake with #AI, and where it might take us.

The Buddha's Five Remembrances aren't meant to get us down - they're an invitation to connect with what's true: everything changes. When we align with that fact, we can find freedom in what we *can* choose: our intentions and the actions that follow.

#Buddhism #Dharma #Mindfulness

Loved chatting with Buddhist scholar-practitioner Peter Hershock on the @aiandfaith.bsky.social podcast. We covered Buddhism x AI ethics, the pitfalls of using technology to support spiritual practice, and what it means to maintain genuine presence in an increasingly mediated world.

Thoughts?

👋 Hey bluesky! New here. Generally don't feel great about social media, but we'll see how this goes...

I'm mainly interested in:
- #dharma & #spirituality
- embodied #ethics
- #AI & #technology

If that's also your vibe, let's be friends. If it's not, let's be friends anyway :)
