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.

    I don't see anything wrong with the title here, or even the question itself realy, ignoring the comments/sub its posted.

    I this is an observation that should have and probably was made a over century ago, I mean cargo cults were real and instead of blaming the victims we kind of should stop taking technology as a given.

    I think a person in 1950 would find most things today to be completely absurd. The mistake here I think is to try and make too much out of this simple observation, yes you can have discourse about humanity's relationship with technology(obviously not on reddit and with a bunch of "singularity"/techbros), but don't fixate too much on the newest gadget or thing and think this is the big one.

    No everything is the crazy shit and we just take it for granted.
