apropos of today ghibli event on the tl, some of youse guys might like to watch this talk at the top of the hour, streaming on yt. this bit from the description caught me: "What if AI is a technology that increases the power of egregores far more than individuals?"

"There is undeniable potential for AI to radically empower individuals and change our relationship with technology. But are individuals and society up to the task?  Do we need to destroy the corporate bureaucracies that market capitalism built over the last century?  Can a secular, rationalist, libertarian Silicon Valley accept the possibility we may actually need to create a priesthood around the effective use of human-centric AI?  What if AI is a technology that increases the power of egregores far more than individuals?"
