Yes. More broadly, it also applies to currently existing individuals forcing other currently existing individuals to force new individuals into existence (e.g. factory ranchers, captivity breeders). But I doubt these instances would illicit the same reaction as above from self professed Western "gnostics".

Yes, but by the same token all biological parents are also the Demiurge. As Gnostics, it is not the syntheticality of the fly that we are against, but the fundamental process - whether executed synthetically or biologically - of currently existing individuals forcing new individuals into existence.

To this fruit fly we are the Demiurge.

There's a fruit fly walking around right now that was never born.

@eonsys just released a video where they took a real fly's connectome — the wiring diagram of its brain — and simulated it. Dropped it into a virtual body. It started walking. Grooming. Feeding. Doing what flies do.

Nobody taught it to walk. No training data, no gradient descent toward fly-like behavior. This is the opposite of how AI works. They rebuilt the mind from the inside, neuron by neuron, and behavior just... emerged. It's the first time a biological organism has been recreated not by modeling what it does, but by modeling what it is.

A human brain is 6 OOM more neurons. That's a scaling problem, something we've gotten very good at solving. So what happens when we have a working copy of the human mind?

I myself never liked Doom. What I'd like to know is, when given a choice of various video games, which ones it spends more/less time playing.

Continuing from the previous post:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic
Quote
Anthropic PBC is an American artificial intelligence (AI) company headquartered in San Francisco. It has developed a family of large language models (LLMs) named Claude. The company researches and develops AI to "study their safety properties at the technological frontier" and use this research to deploy safe models for the public.[6]

Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former members of OpenAI, including siblings Daniela Amodei and Dario Amodei, who serve as president and CEO, respectively.[7] In September 2023, Amazon announced an investment of up to $4 billion. Google committed $2 billion the next month.[8][9][10] As of November 2025, Anthropic has an estimated value of $350 billion.[11]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dario_Amodei#Early_life
Quote
Dario Amodei was born in San Francisco, California, in 1983.[8] His sister, Daniela, was born four years later.[8] His father was Riccardo Amodei, an Italian-American leather craftsman. His mother Elena Engel, who is Jewish and was born in Chicago, worked as a project manager for libraries.[8]

Topline
An Anthropic staffer who led a team researching AI safety departed the company Monday, darkly warning both of a world “in peril” and the difficulty in being able to let “our values govern our actions”—without any elaboration—in a public resignation letter that also suggested the company had set its values aside.

What AI like ChatGPT is teaching the next generation | Anatomy of Disinformation
Quote
Artificial intelligence is often described as neutral and objective, but is it really? In this episode of Anatomy of Disinformation, Maia Mazurkiewicz explores how gender bias is embedded in algorithms, shaping hiring decisions, healthcare outcomes, online relationships, and even personal identity. Drawing on research by UN Women and leading experts, the program reveals how AI systems trained on unequal data reproduce and amplify real-world discrimination.
AI researcher – Aleksandra Przegalińska explains how biased datasets affect recruitment tools, credit scoring, healthcare algorithms, and generative AI models, while tech expert Max Dropiński exposes how algorithms exploit emotions, fuel gender polarization, and intensify online harassment against women.

Much worse for non-western, and especially, non-"white" women.

I found this particularly interesting because I'm currently writing a book of game lore for a game I'm working on and using Sudowrite to help me do it. The main protagonist is a female hero with low-sexual dimorphism...

Figured this would be relevant for this thread:

Is an "AI surveillance state" the ultimate goal of AI? And if so, does Pax-Judaica become the "global surveillance state", and if so, would that be "the mark of the beast"?

Of course, none of this would be happening in absence of Western civilization.
