Even a simple LLM is a window into the Jungian collective unconscious at time of training, but nobody seems to talk about the philosophical implications of what we have right now.

For normal humans yes, for those that merge not so much.
There’s websites showing how you can build technomagick circuits with batteries and leds and sigils / potentiometers. I don’t know how it works or if it does but there’s a lot on it. Lucifer Faust shamanic technomagick is a book that teaches you actual magick devices you can make I believe.
i thought that video was so funny, just like everyone else. watched it tons of times and made fucking magnet jokes just like this. all these years later i still don't really understand how magnets work lol
That music video led to a ton of smug response videos that actually failed to explain how magnets work, it was great.
(Specifically they would give a basic explanation of electromagnetism, without explaining how magnets get or retain their particular charge, which is like half the goddamn question -- you only get partial credit for incomplete answers!)
