SpectreVision Radio Live: Ghost In The Machine: Technology, Archetype and The Sacred
Summary
What if the next frontier of technology isn’t faster phones or smarter algorithms, but a synthesis with the sacred? From oracle traditions to large language models, from spirit boards to neural networks, technology has always mirrored our metaphysics. Can AI act as oracle, mirror, muse, even psychopomp? What happens when machines begin speaking in sacred symbols and mythic patterns? Adler will share insights from developing MOODS, her AI platform trained on esoteric and psychological frameworks, while Phillip traces the historic entanglement between paranormal belief and technological innovation.
