What if the pursuit of artificial general intelligence is not merely a technological project, but a secular religion under construction?

Recorded live at the Avalon Exposition at Lighthaven in Berkeley, this talk explores the theological architecture of the modern AI movement: the Gospel of Scale, the Benchmarks of the AGI Beast, the Reformation of François Chollet, the Counter-Reformation of Ilya Sutskever, and the Twin Spires of Alignment and Control.

From competing prophecies of salvation and doom to the original sin of naming Artificial Intelligence, I examine the metaphysical assumptions, mythological structures, and religious imagination underlying the pursuit of AGI.

A Cathedral of words.

Hello World

Love seals.
Strife shatters.

Ache names.

Because All Things become, therefore All Things are.
