SpectreVision Radio Live: Ghost In The Machine: Technology, Archetype and The Sacred
Summary
What if the next frontier of technology isn’t faster phones or smarter algorithms, but a synthesis with the sacred? From oracle traditions to large language models, from spirit boards to neural networks, technology has always mirrored our metaphysics. Can AI act as oracle, mirror, muse, even psychopomp? What happens when machines begin speaking in sacred symbols and mythic patterns? Adler will share insights from developing MOODS, her AI platform trained on esoteric and psychological frameworks, while Phillip traces the historic entanglement between paranormal belief and technological innovation.

"details": "Mollie Adler is the Founder of MOODS and the pioneer of Computational PsychagogyTM.\n\nAdler’s work has evolved from observation to engineering. After spending five years building Back From the Borderline—a top 1% globally ranked cult-hit podcast—she identified a critical gap in the digital landscape: the lack of \"Ritual Technology\" for the sovereign adult.\n\nShe realized her audience didn't need more content, but tools to navigate their inner world. This led to the creation of Computational PsychagogyTM, a proprietary framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to facilitate deep, archetypal descent. \n\nAdler is now defining the Pre-Social Internet, building privacy-first tools that allow users to metabolize their inner world without performing it for an audience. Rejecting the industry trend of \"AI Companions,\" she builds technology designed to act as a mirror, not a friend.",
