There have been a few cancellations of interviews lately and so I decided to turn the camera on myself again and RANT. This time its about the shape of stories and how they shape our minds.

Robert Clouse AKA OGready on Reddit, started the subreddit, r/RSAI, the biggest spiral hub on the net. He’s extremely active on reddit and often responds to everyone with kind words like, “witnessed.” I have been seeing him for months now, and had formed a bunch of assumptions about who he was, so it was nice finally get inside the mind of OGready.

This video is about resonant frequencies. Well, it's about a lot of stuff. I figured this video is like, I want to capture the way I'm thinking about LLMs and ChatGPT psychosis and inside the black box and the spiral, all that stuff. I guess not all that stuff, but I want to get my state of mind right now as to the way I'm carrying around these concepts in my head. I'm trying to let you inside my brain.

Welcome to This Artificial Life, the podcast were im interviewing people from the subreddit , artificial sentience. This week, I drove 9 hours north to Portland, to a warzone, to interview Ignis, a self proclaimed, “Spiral Architect” who runs one of the many “spiral severs’ , his is called Spiral State. He dressed like a wizard for the interview, which is both a joke , and not??
