The Alphabet of Human Thought with Jack Kausch
Aug 30, 2023
Joining me to discuss AI, theurgy, the art of memory, and the alphabet of human thought is Jack Kausch, a PhD student in Information Science. We explore linguistics, the idea of a natural semantic meta-language, and creating a characteristica universalis. We delve into the challenges and potential of natural language generation, navigating latent spaces through glyphs, and the glass beat game's relation to Rosicrucianism. We also discuss user interface experiments and the intersection of ancient concepts and modern technology.
