[Talk Gnosis] Generative Glamour: Risks of Esoteric AI w/Damien P Williams

Professor Damien P Williams was kind enough to spend time with us discussing generative technology such as LLMs like ChatGPT, and visual generators. He explains clearly at a technical level how these technologies work. What's more, we get into some fascinating places discussing what these technologies might mean for esotericists, and why knowing how they work is integral to knowing what meanings you are bringing in to your spiritual or magical practice. There are some obvious concerns that are known by many; here you'll get the deeper implications that no one is talking about.
