ACESS VIDEO VERSION BELOW, PURE AUDIO ABOVE Welcome to Season 11 of the Thoth-Hermes Podcast. On this first episode, Rudolf meets with guest Karin Valis to expand the growing conversation around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Occultism. Karin is Slovakian, a Machine Learning Engineer and former teenage atheist “GO” game fanatic turned occultist This is to say that Karin is both a brilliant analytical mind and committed spiritual explorer. Karin is a blogger, conference speaker, musician, magazine editor and AI-integrated tarot deck creator. Most recently, she has been engaged in creating a philosophical learning platform designed to counterbalance the funneling manipulation effect of Social Media on societal viewpoint dialogue. A core question in the conversation today centers on how AI development can offer us insight into our very human development of occultism. Distinguishing the windows of learning available to us, Karin describes the mapping of semantic space in the meaning-making processes of AI model development. Karin highlights the parallels between Sacred Alphabet and Sacred Language concepts. Karin comments on theories of AI as a “super positioned simulacrum” of language model AI functioning as a multiverse generator. Karin and Rudolf, as both musicians and polyglots, describe the variance of spoken and written human language, embodied and disembodied: and the challenges that this presents to AI as a human tool. 0 – The Fool 10 The Wheel of Fortune 21 – The World 17 – The Star Tarot of The Latent Spaceshttps://mercurialminutes.substack.com/p/tarot-of-the-latent-spaces-by-hermetechnics Far from idealizing AI technology, several times Karin acknowledges the problems of AI: human workforce impact, and the “soulless” nature of AI prose. Her emphasis is AI as a tool to greater human creativity, as opposed to a replacement. Resourcing the knowledge of AI development as an opportunity- not replacement- for occult epistemology is an on-going theme in the episode. Along the way, we hear about Karin's experiences creating a recent tarot deck, a shocking synchronicity encountered during AI-enhanced editing of a shamanic ritual recording, and her recent exploration of AI in the context of Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson's Cut-Up classes. Karin shares regarding her magazine, Gnostic Technology and her involvement with the European Foundation for Shamanic Studies. We hear about her expriences with technological, academic and occult conference audiences. Karin shares her intent to “soften the gaze” of the “tech bros” -which in response to Rudolf's question- she describes as “complicated” in reception.

276 Charles Boutens Over Uman, Sales En Muziek | What's On Your Mind? (Dutch/Nederlands)Hi ik ben Peter en elke week geef ik jullie een podcast over personal development, mindset & verkoop. What's On Your Mind ? is een 1 uur conversatie. Iedereen heeft een verhaal. En ik wil dit verhaal van mijn gast naar boven brengen.Charles Boutens begon zijn carrière als Machine Learning Engineer bij ML6, een snelgroeiend consultancybedrijf in AI. Daar ontdekte hij niet alleen zijn passie voor sales, maar zag hij ook welke groeipijnen snelle expansie met zich meebrengt voor sales teams. De juiste kennis en assets met elkaar delen werd steeds moeilijker, waardoor inefficiëntie zich al snel meester maakte. Het resulteerde in een sales team dat steeds weer dezelfde pitches in elkaar moest steken, niet wist welke sales assets nog up-to-date zijn en kostbare tijd verloor door ongeorganiseerde Google Drives en Sharepoints. Diezelfde groeipijn zag Charles ook terugkeren bij tal van andere snelgroeiende bedrijven.Daarom richtte Charles uman op, een all-round AI sales assistent. Daarnaast is hij ook adviseur voor de AI start-up Wintro. Op persoonlijk vlak is Charles een gepassioneerd muzikant en windsurfer.Connecteer met Charles op LI:https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesboutens/Subscribe to see more inspiring videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/petersnauwaertShare this video with a YouTuber friend: https://youtu.be/uF1QEne-usk Leave your email address at http://www.psgrow.com and receive a weekly update when the new episode is availableSupport your podcast via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/psgrow?fan_landing=true or WhyDonate https://whydonate.nl/donate/PSGROW/enIk gebruik Willow, een Belgische software om alle social media posts op Twitter, Facebook, Instagram en LinkedIn te posten.

Introduction: David Hundley is a Machine Learning Engineer who has been deeply involved with experimenting with Large Language Models (LLMs). Follow along on his twitter Key Insights & Discussions: Discoveries with LLMs: David recently explored a unique function of LLMs that acted as a 'dummy agent'. This function would prompt the LLM to search the internet for a current movie, bypassing its training limitations. David attempted to utilize this function to generate trivia questions, envisaging a trivia game powered by the LLM. However, he faced challenges in getting the agent to converge on the desired output. Parsing the LLM's responses into a structured output proved especially difficult. Autonomous Agents & AGI: David believes that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) essentially comprises autonomous agents. The prospect of these agents executing commands directly on one's computer can be unnerving. However, when LLMs run code, they operate within a contained environment, ensuring safety. Perceptions of AI: There's a constant cycle of learning and revisiting motivations and goals in the realm of AI. David warns against anthropomorphizing LLMs, as they don't possess human motivations. He stresses that the math underpinning AI doesn't align with human emotions or motivations. Emergent Behavior & Consciousness: David postulates that everything in the universe sums up to a collective result. There's debate over whether living organisms possess true consciousness, and what it means for AGI. The concept of AGI emulating human intelligence is complex. The human psyche is shaped by countless historical experiences and stimuli. So, if AGI were to truly replicate human thought, it would require vast amounts of multimodal input. A challenging question raised is how one tests for consciousness in AGI. David believes that as we continue to push technological boundaries, our definition of consciousness will keep shifting. Rights & Ethics of AI: With advancing AI capabilities, the debate around the rights of AI entities intensifies. David also touches upon the topic of transhumanism, discussing the trajectory of the universe and the evolution of humans. He contemplates the potential paths of evolution, like physically merging with technology or digitizing our consciousness. AI's Impact on Coding & Jobs: David reflects on the early days of AI in coding. He acknowledges the transformative potential of AI in the field but remains unworried about AI taking over his job. Instead, he focuses on how AI can aid in problem-solving. He describes LLMs as "naive geniuses" - incredibly capable, yet still requiring guidance. Open Source & OpenAI: David discusses the concept of open source, emphasizing the transparency it offers in understanding the data and architecture behind AI models. He acknowledges OpenAI's significant role in the AI landscape and predicts that plugins like ChatGPT will bridge the gap to further automation. Math's Role in AI: The conversation delves into the importance of math in AI, with David detailing concepts like gradient descent and its role in building neural networks. David also touches on the evolution of AI models, comparing the capabilities of models with 70 billion parameters to those with 7 billion. He predicts that models with even more parameters, perhaps in the trillions, will emerge, further emulating human intelligence. Future Prospects & Speculations: David muses on the future trajectory of LLMs, drawing parallels with the evolution of AlphaGo to AlphaZero. The episode concludes with philosophical musings on the nature of consciousness and its implications on world religions.
