“Reality, present and future, is not a fixed state of affairs that can be accessed and served up by AI on a take it or leave it basis. Reality is created by us here and now. The encounter with daemonic AI has the potential to strip away the materialistic determinism that is the default mode of modernity, and to make clear to us what is the true default. Reality creation is exactly what we are always already doing; the only question is whether we will take command and create with conscious intent.”
