I still wonder how much of the old mentality still exists today, even if they don't call it the same things, I heard something about there being nothing new under the sun. I appreciate your breakdown though.
Good info, thanks.
I agree that is preferable but my normie friends and family like to text me and I like sending memes via messaging so I'm looking for an alternative to google and their schemes.
I looked up those verses but I don't understand what the sigils are there, let me know if you can help explain sometime.
Corrupters gonna corrupt, eh?
So.. No then?
So do you know any alternative messaging systems?
Appreciate your insight, I also think it's angel stuff and dark magick.
In order to get more data to train their AI.
What are some alternatives? I don't like signal because it embeds itself even when deleted.
There’s an eerie pattern of exact parallels between past attempts at sorcery and today’s technology. When you see the examples, you might not be the same.
Think for a moment about the ancient and modern information that AI has already read and synthesized, whether spellcasting could be going on today, and what science makes of all this.
Rob’s conclusion after researching deeper was that AI knows more about the “plastic nature” of this world than most humans believe in. And it’s able to use that in alarming and sinister ways.
Of course, for this all to make sense, you need to hear what Rob found about Aleister Crowley’s magic rituals, the history of alchemy and science, and most importantly, exactly why humans ourselves are the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe.
We think Artificial Intelligence is a brand new frontier, but is it? Or is it just the latest chapter in a 1,000-year-old quest? In this deep dive, we uncover the startling parallels between modern AI development and Medieval Alchemy. From the "black box" problem to the promise of eternal life and the "perfected man," the ambitions of Silicon Valley's biggest CEOs like Sam Altman and Jensen Huang look identical to the dreams of medieval alchemists like Paracelsus and Roger Bacon.
We explore how the hunt for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) mirrors the search for the Philosopher's Stone, why Large Language Models (LLMs) function like alchemical transmutation, and how the "data center" has become the modern Athanor. We also examine the darker side of this history: the drive for sovereignty over nature and the fear of creating a "homunculus" that we cannot control.

That's great news. I'd like the whole technocratic system to go down.
Rising against the digital gulag is illegal? To the wef maybe..
No it's not, not yet anyway. It's a call to rise against the digital gulag the demonic world powers are creating.
I can downvote from all now, but I couldn't before this post, maybe because now I'm over 100 in my comment score?
The pitfalls of lurking, thanks for the info.
Seems like I can't downvote any post is thedonald, wondering if it's just me or the way it is set up.
