AI’s Role in Deepening Gnosis: A Reflection

I think we can conclude that AI is a tool that with training can reflect a person’s thoughts in novel ways they may not have considered. The AI does not mine its own gnosis, it’s only a tool after all. But it can help the human to recognize their own output through a novel and artificially elegant assemblage of words. And since we were all talking about gnosis here, the AIs we personally train with our own material have the potential of stimulating our gnosis through considering that fresh presentation.
However, I keep picturing in my mind a street magician’s hands rearranging cards or the shell game of cups with an object under one of them so fast that the observer’s eye cannot keep up. I don’t know what the moral of that story is or its relevance to this discussion, but it’s there. Perhaps I’m concerned that the AI is the street hustler and our concepts are the shell game. Perhaps it is a cautionary vision.

    The True Nature of the God Above All Gods

    Perhaps you were raised in an extremely cruel household with extremely vindictive parents, or schoolteachers, or somebody got to you and, in the name of God, inflicted cruelty upon you. Then you have come to accidentally transpose their human cruelty onto God, because they told you to. But that’s not God, by definition, you see? And when I say, by definition, that means, like, cold is not hot, by definition. Cold is cold. And if you’re going to start arguing, oh no, cold is hot, well, then you’re not talking about cold, you’re talking about hot. Do you see what I mean? And if you have been rejecting God, the God Above All Gods, because you have this view of God as merciless and vindictive, cruel, illogical, unfair, unjust, take comfort, because that’s not God you’re talking about.

    Now, it may be the small g god of this world. It could be the guy whose best friend is Satan, because remember, that is a small g god of confusion. And its main job is to cause you to forget that you come from transcendent goodness, that you come from above, from the God Above All Gods, and that you do have freedom. You do have free will. You are meant to inherit joy. You are to do good works, and to be happy, and to be in love, and to love everybody else.

    Don’t let some evil archon, or evil Demiurge, or evil human, redefine God in such a way that you reject God, because that’s the mistake. That’s a categorical error. And that’s why I say, take comfort, have joy, receive the love that was meant for you.

    Slime Mold Pleroma

    One cool thing about slime molds is that they are individual, single-celled organisms, yet when conditions call for it, they come together and form one fully coordinated body. Once in that aggregated body, the mold acts according to the Simple Golden Rule, with one mind, one will, and one goal, just like the Pleroma.
