Talk Gnosis explores the surprising and horrifing intersection of modern tech culture, artificial intelligence, and ancient gnostic concepts. Hosts Jason Memhel and Jonathan Stewart, and your fav TG contributer Nic Laccetti, look at how Gnosticism can help us think about the AI fad and how ideas and philosophy around AI and Large Language Models resemble Gnosticism in some strange and terrifying ways.
Discover how Silicon Valley’s tech culture has inadvertently created a new form of religious mythology – one where a hypothetical future AI could become god-like, potentially punishing those who didn’t help create it. See how deeply religious thinking patterns emerge even within staunchly atheistic communities, revealing humanity’s persistent spiritual yearnings disguised in technological language.
