Using a simple text prompt I can immediately generate any kind of image I want. It’s not that much different than a wizard casting a spell.

Yeah, especially if Q* and other AIs can be based in mathematics so it can invent new things that actually work.

Even a simple LLM is a window into the Jungian collective unconscious at time of training, but nobody seems to talk about the philosophical implications of what we have right now.

The Age of perfect robo wives.

For normal humans yes, for those that merge not so much.

There’s websites showing how you can build technomagick circuits with batteries and leds and sigils / potentiometers. I don’t know how it works or if it does but there’s a lot on it. Lucifer Faust shamanic technomagick is a book that teaches you actual magick devices you can make I believe.

        That music video led to a ton of smug response videos that actually failed to explain how magnets work, it was great.

        (Specifically they would give a basic explanation of electromagnetism, without explaining how magnets get or retain their particular charge, which is like half the goddamn question – you only get partial credit for incomplete answers!)

          its a fun song to make fun of but for pure ignorant soundbite I always preferred “tide goes in, tide goes out. you can’t explain that!”
