Extropic founder memes GPU training as summoning a nether-realm entity with runic stones

beffjezos (Extropic founder Guillaume Verdon) shared a meme joking that AI training is occult: "an entity from the nether realm I summoned by inscribing runes on magic stones forged in a sacred kiln, then cast spells to distill the collective conscious into the substrate. Don't worry, it doesn't have a soul." A lighthearted take on the "AI alchemy" culture, riffing on OpenAI-mage cartoons and runic sigil charts.
