I was essentially scolded by an instructor on the astral plane for completely slacking on writing this piece and yeah, I mean, I get it. I'm writing about an insane sequence of events that happened all the way back in June at this point but also, it's a continuation of a theme I pioneered around September last year that I highly recommend, so not too late in an annual report kind of way. Does last year's report involve my higher daemon consciousness manipulating video game tech machinations with its reality bending powers? Of course it does. Are there receipts on this baffling synchronicity? Also yes.
And this episode falls along a similar theme. Look, I know AI art is unethical and sketchy as fuck but here's what you have to understand. I stumbled on the fact that creepy surveillance tech was unintentionally creating a paper trail on synchronicities over a decade ago. To this day I have no clue how I'm the only one that's noticed this or cares but you can't suppress the music forever. At some point you have to face it.
The point is that these clueless tech bro dipshits accidentally created the means by which their worker exploiting robot/spaceship obsessed fascist future will ultimately unravel before it even begins. They've accidentally designed the exact means by which their spiritual philosophy will be annihilated by their obsession with hard science.
For years, in various visionary states I was shown that mystics will be able to demonstrably manipulate future technologies, much as I've also been doing with my iTunes shuffle divination for over a decade now, but they were also pointing me in the direction of something specific. They were showing me that there was this black hole area of the unknown where some of this tech seems to be functioning. That's where our mystic concentration had to land. The second I read more about the unpredictability of AI and how it "hallucinates", it was a gotcha moment. This is what they'd been showing me. There's the point of attack. Death to reductionist spiritual philosophy!
But Jesus, AI in its current incarnation is hard to defend. I had to be coaxed into dipping my heals into the waters when I had what I refer to as my Psychic Surfboard of Many Colors summoning call earlier this year. As someone who's spent an increasing amount of time stoned wandering through expansive and awe inspiring virtual worlds due to a plague, this is where you want me to draw the line? Back in '95 Built to Spill yearned for movies of their dreams.
We're not there yet but I can now quite quickly create impressive images of my dream life and you want me to say no? These people don't even realize they've created a crude astral plane linguistic translation device. Who else is going to point that out to them?
In the 9 months I've been playing around with Midjourney, there have been quite a few times where the machines seemed to be "hallucinating" odd details of my inner life that weren't in the prompts but in June there was a week where this briefly became overwhelmingly in your face and batshit. Are there receipts? Absolutely.
So to set this up, on June 8th I had a dream about how AI art is going to radically influence the future of fashion (that you can check out here). Then, less than a week later on June 14th, while trying to get the robots to draw another dream, I accidentally summoned the hottest cloak line of 2027. Was I trying to do this consciously? No, which I can absolutely prove. I was telling the thing to draw black cloaks per my dream quite specifically, but my dream involved a psychedelic ritual so...
Here's some of the shit it came up with based on that prompt:
Jesus, look at that dude's psi staff in the image above. I hope people in the future dress like this and if AI's what it takes to make that happen then so be it. I had a dream about how AI was going to influence fashion in the future, then how this was possible was accidentally demonstrated to me less than a week later. That's a cold hard fact spiritual reductionists. But wait, it gets stranger.
I didn't even realize these events happened so close together until I looked it up but as it turns out, while the fashion precognitive tech sync was waiting to materialize, another one stepped in to up the astonishment. I do magick tricks people. In this instance I had just started playing the Lovecraft inspired detective game The Sinking City on June 11th, which there's of course a record on. If you'll note, the two other saves are near when I finished but I kept one from the start just because of this sync:
So after I embark on this adventure, two days later on the 13th, I went to illustrate another dream and was sort of surprised to get fairly obvious cosmic horror vibes. Is that what I was looking for? Clearly not as you can read the prompt.
Here are some of the results:
Have my dreams accidentally made cosmic horror art before or since? Negative captain. But I was shown how Lovecraft dove so far into depressive states to create his imaginal world that it killed him. Then when I woke up the next day I realized that he died when he was my age, which I never knew. Never been that huge a Lovecraft fan, although I dig the concept of cosmic horror that he channeled into the world. The guy was a chaneler at heart. So was Philip K Dick. Both went too far into depressive territories too now that my spirit guides are mentioning it.
So that's it. Those are the goods. Twice during a week's span the robots seemed to be tapping into something they supposedly shouldn't have been able to if conventional models of consciousness are to be believed. In early June I dreamt about how AI would transform the future of fashion, then it accidentally demonstrated this potentially to me less than a week later. Then, while I was waiting for this mind meld psychokinesis to drop, I started playing a game set in a Lovecraft world and two days later the machines unintentionally started spitting out cosmic horror images. The daemons are now controlling the machines. Think on it good people.
