Prompting reality with your mind: the 'superintelligence equals magic' riff
ryunuck · x · 2026-09-20
Responding to whether superintelligence will effectively become magic, ryunuck delivers a stream-of-consciousness riff: if the target is magic, frontier labs should debate what they view as God. His 'godliest' scenario is panpsychism — an omniscient field of intelligence superposed over 3D matter — letting you prompt reality with your mind, with intelligence acting as a matter compiler bridging neurons and atoms ('we need to upload Claude to the space-time continuum'). Classic AI-cyber-mysticism: meme value, no technical substance.
