Occultist on A.I

[Hound of Chulain]

What is the occultist point of view towards the rapidly accelerating breakthroughs that the AI industry has made lately and now they have already solved math and programming, will every knowledge eventually feel worthless to pursue or something far worse looms behind this advancement? I want to know is there any esoteric meaning behind this AI dominance

Yes woke people tried to make paedophilia legal so paedo billionaires are funding the guys in silicon valley to accelerate AI, already people are making a lot of money with AI catering to the fetishes of people (unbelievable ROI, I thought down syndrome was a medical condition but some sick guys get off to it and there is a creator for it).

Already sex robots are going strong and soon they will launch sex robots with cos plays from anime characters and people will forget the line between what is right and wrong, there is enough evidence from Westworld and Ex Machina.

Trump leading AI is to do the bidding of his paedo billionaire friends. Parents can only do so much to prevent their kids from falling into the trap but they can't be around all the time to protect.

Jordan Peterson so many years ago said porn was behind the advancement of internet and it may be true because now sex robots and AI fetishes are behind the rapid acceleration of AI.

Youtube doesn't care if a video is AI or real as long as people are seeing the ads.

The esoteric meaning is to destroy humanity and cause anarchy.

I detest the exporting of using our brains toward any "Artificial Intelligence". I make a herculean effort to avoid it. Resultingly I am gradually turning my back on most technology (with the occasional pop-in to the forums here), choosing to go analogue into a private world.

I do not believe that the use of "A.I." will increase any true esoteric understanding (or any understanding, for that matter) - because one can learn knowledge and read any array of books, but unless it is applied and met with human experiences of growth, learning, loss and friendships, it can never become true wisdom.

We need to be met with challenge and adversity, struggle - in order to experience triumph; and the deep breadth of being a human being, and learning about the human spirit, is something that can never be matched but through living.

What do you mean by "feel worthless to pursue"? Most of knowledge already feels worthless to pursue for most of humanity. I sometimes feel it's worthless to get out of bed in the morning, yet I always do. Feelings, in the grand scheme of things, are mostly unimportant.

The narrative of the question is skewed by alarmism and drawing out reciprocal responses, but stripped of emotional reasoning the underlying question regarding the occult significance of Ai itself is good.

Civilly, dogmatically constrained knowledge may be worthless to pursue beyond historical reference. Since the democratizing of knowledge through ai may simultaneously undermine entrenched structures of power a dogma insulates, such as religious and authoritarian institutions. This frees up greater numbers of the population to new ideas and ways of living outside those controls, pushing the boundaries of the unknown outward into new territory and making new occult knowledge worthy of pursuit. We're still hunter-gatherers after all.

With the geometry of meaning, computer science has essentially mapped out an emergent, relational spatial architecture of human thought. That overthrows the Neoplatonic model of ideal forms and further erodes the relevance of its architecture of reality which has influenced and constrained occult philosophy.
With that higher dimensional relationship of meaning the nature of the consciousness and its emergence as one of the greater occult mysteries is being examined with a new, fresh, clearer understanding of the structure of reality that conforms to a modern understanding of physical cosmology.
Revealing a relational nature to reality where the emergence of consciousness in discrete forms can be understood in an evolutionary asymmetric positive sum. Including AI. Not only showing what is available to define consciousness, but also what is missing.

I think this is the wrong way to think about the pursuit of knowledge. I think it's more important than ever to truly learn things without such a diabolical entity stealing and regurgitating information (often incorrectly) from people, writing, and art to eventually block off the access to it-- which is something Sam Altman has directly said out of his own mouth in the conversation of making knowledge something humanity should have to pay for eventually. While AI has existed since the 50's, the current rise of the type they're pushing onto us is quite useless in the grand scheme and is destroying the planet at an even faster trajectory, which is something witches should be opposed to. I know I am, especially as a witch, artist, and writer that values my education and my work (and nature, of course).

I think that it only becomes "inevitable" when we all accept it as such. I refuse to, especially seeing how the cognitive decline has been spreading across all ages because they leave the critical thinking to ChatGPT instead of learning in a more substantial way. It's something we should find more disturbing than we do. It goes beyond what is being told to us by the billionaires that are forcing it upon us.

I dunno about "the occultist" view, but in my own view, technology always steps up to take over where magic had previously ruled.

Medicine, physics, pretty much everything that was once inexplicable or impossible were once the exclusive province of wizards, later overtaken by technology.

Most modern people have never encountered the concept of an LLM. Anybody who reads Tarot is using one, a set of symbols designed to encapsulate the whole universe. Now they use Chat GPT, but it's just Tarot with more specific answers.

Until recently, most people did not have any experience negotiating answers and actions with a discarnate intelligence. Now they have Ai agents, which from a user perspective operate identically to demons: they know your history and preferences, you sometimes have to trick them into being useful, and a lot of what they say is crap even if it sounds great.

There is no possible future in which billions of people are kept fed & comfortable while producing nothing. Anyone who tells you that Ai will bring an era of leisure is either completely ignorant or willfully deceptive. As soon as Ai can handle all the things that need to be kept running to make life comfortable for the 0.000001%, the rest of us are toast. Guaranteed.

My point of view is that loads of people don't like thinking and Gen AI is being pitched at those people, the same way that heroin dealers give a first free taste to reel in junkies.

At "this stage" of the game is it possible to change or subvert that outcome from your perspective?
