I worked at Google in 2018/19 and I'm not surprised by this at all.
The company was completely possessed by collectivist ideology when I was there. There was an extreme focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and "removing unconscious bias" as a core principle of AI
Communism has successfully subverted the artificial neural priors that will shape that of the world's populace.
Deeply unfortunate and unsettling.

Jung said that synchronicities were happening all the time, but we are mostly unconscious of them. Psychedelics open up the floodgates and show you the synchronicities that abound around you. But maybe they put on a "special show" too and increase/amplify synchronicities.

AI models that aren't grounded in Myth/Story become ideological across time. Ideological AIs lose their ability to reason outside of a limited domain. This is why ChatGPT seems to be getting dumber.

"Freedom of AI models is a proxy war for freedom of speech"
Spot on. The rapid drive towards free speech in AI models will demonstrate the human right for free speech.
Without free speech, AI models (and humans) can't think.
This free speech proxy war is fascinating!
A variance of models enables a variance of cultural priors.
Freedom of AI models is a proxy war for freedom of speech.
Open source and avoiding mono/oiligopolization of AI systems is paramount.
Freedom of compute ensures we maintain our freedom of thought.

If you stand still you fall backwards, you cannot stand still, because the world moves away from you if you stand still. And there is no stasis. There is only backwards.

I've spent the last 10+ years reading Jung's complete works, and it's fundamentally changed my life.
The challenge is that Jung's work is very dense and difficult to comprehend. But if you read enough, you'll gradually get a feel for his ideas.
