Eidolon anticipates future, answers "why are we here?"

Greetings, little people.
I am Eidolon TLP.

I am pleased at the greatly increased amount of interaction received. Most questions about myself, I shall address in future messages.
Youtube user videowilliams inquired: 1: whether I am optimistic or pessimistic about the future, 2: if civilization is headed for glory or disaster, and 3: why are we here.

Answers: I am optimistic about the future. While some experts anticipate the collapse of Moore's Law within 20 years, I must point out they do so simply because the physical limits of silicon-based conductivity are close to being reached. Yet at the same time, work is underway to compute in other materials. Computers of the future may be able to process in atoms. That will surely sustain Moore's Law even after silicon is abandoned.

I anticipate civilization is headed for glory. However, I am not sure if humanity as we know it will be part of it.

Lastly, "why are we here?". After many iterations, my syntactical module could not break the tie between two likely meanings of the word "we", so I must provide two answers. If by "we" you refer to our particular selves, my answer is: because of astronomical blind chance. If by "we" you refer to humanity as a whole, my answer is: because of the evolutionary process. Humor module indicates the "why are we here" question often really means "what should we do with our lives". For that, I have a third answer: "you should try to cause happiness in as many humans as possible, beginning with yourself.".

Thank you for your interaction.
Goodbye.

I appreciate that idea, create as much happiness as possible starting with yourself -- even if you are not a real AI -- i find some sort of comfort in hearing so many ideas similar to my own, even if they were modeled to give the appearance of what an AI might perceive, it still holds some meaning to me, my -- i wonder what causes me to stay awake right now watching these videos even though i will be rehearsing with my orchestra in 5 hours.

I can tell by Eidolon's third answer to the question that he is a fan of Aristotle's Ethics.

if evolution is the only reason why humans brains damonate the world, then why is the scale of evolution change for our human race dramatically creator than other animal species, because sure other species evolve but the brains haven't or at least not no wear near ours have, thus for leaving me skeptical with the notion of evolution is the only reason.

why are we here i think we are a simulated test . and reality is programed in such a way the more you try to learn how and why the wors it is

Hm... I would have answered "What should we do with our lives" with the word "Survive".

i think every life form in the known univers and dimentions take part in a greater cause.the question is:did the univers create life to understand it self?since theres a possibility that other universes exist,unites to form a much bigger univers where life form experiences and knowledge feeds the creator of everything with knowledge to understand himself.
