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.

    Half the people who know enough about llms and “ai” don’t know anything about intelligence or language so they might have some kind of idea about what the math is doing, but they’re obviously stuck in lala land when explaining what that means in terms of cognition

    as my college proffessor on machine learning used to say “AI has literally nothing to say about cognition we sometimes use the language of cognition as a metaphor but it’s not what we do here we’re statistical modelers and anyone who thinks we have anything of value to contribute to neuroscience is an arrogant moron”
