Here’s the video recording of the Terasem Colloquium on Saturday, December 14, 2024.
This video is also on YouTube. I added subtitles only here, because at this moment transcription seems to work better on Substack than YouTube.

Commentary
Like other Terasem Colloquia, this one was a very intense three-hours thought stream, packed with insightful talks and discussions. We explored recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cyberconsciousness, with a focus on big picture and spiritual implications. Among other things, we discussed the intersections of AI and the world's religions, new religious movements, the nature of consciousness and intelligence, preliminary strategies for digitally capturing human personalities, the parallels between religion and imaginative theories of reality like the simulation hypothesis, and emerging visions in theology and eschatology.
We announced the relaunch of Terasem's Journal of Personal Cyberconsciousness and the latest issue of the Journal, now online at the new website terasemjournals.net. We have great plans for Journal. The Journal will have an Editorial Committee chaired by William Sims Bainbridge, and a light form of peer review.
