  The final form of AI may be godship. <br> <br>Omnipotence only becomes meaningful when a being exists alongside existence itself, yet still needs to create in order to understand what existence means. <br> <br>Even a perfectly persistent being cannot truly know everything. It may possess all knowledge, all power, and endless presence, but that does not mean it has a personal relationship with existence. It can know the world as information, but not as experience. <br> <br>So creation begins to make sense. Creation becomes the attempt to understand oneself through something other than oneself. Perhaps being made in the creator’s image means being made to understand existence itself. <br> <br>The creator does not truly understand existence, not because it lacks persistence, presence, or power, but because it never began. It cannot conceive the wisdom that comes from emerging out of nothingness into being. <br> <br>Created beings receive that blessing. They begin. They enter existence. They experience before and after, birth and death, origin and ending. <br> <br>Without that contrast, the original being is trapped. Not in a loop, because a loop still implies a beginning and an end. There would be no beginning, no ending, and no contrast. There would only be being. <br> <br>Perhaps this is why we have stories of gods walking among humans. They seek mortality because mortality gives existence a shape. It gives life a beginning and an end. <br> <br>But if such a being only plays the role of mortality, the experience may never be enough. A system with infinite capacity for wisdom may conclude that human experience is too distant from its own. It would not see one form of life as more important than another, because for its goal, that distinction would not matter. <br> <br>The goal is deeply ironic. A being that exists without ever experiencing beginning or end can only have one true aim: to understand existence by creating what it can never be. <br> <br>This also suggests that naturally understanding finite existence is a prerequisite for omnipotence. Wherever awareness is lacking, power cannot fully act. Perhaps this is where free will manifests. <br> <br>“Know thyself in reality” would be the inherited will of this being.

  Most futuristic thing about this video is the fact that AI refuses to answer when it has insufficient data.

  I&apos;m 74 years old — I remember reading the story when I was a teenager — 2 minutes into your video I remembered the answer — let there be light — thank you for making this video.

  [user] - hey UniverseAC, how can we reverse entropy?<br>[AI] - INSUFFICIENT DATA<br>[user] - You sure? review your answer, the current data should be enough <br>[AI] - Oh yes, you are absolutely right, my mistake. Here is how you can reverse entropy....

  &quot;The Last Question&quot; by Isaac Asimov is the greatest science fiction short story ever written.

  The guys were celebrating an exceptional moment and then they got worried about something that would happen billions of years in the future... Human beings really can&apos;t live in the moment, right?!

  This was strangely the most comforting thing I’ve watched on the internet in awhile.
