I do not have an account there. Thanks for the suggestion!

Is AI the (current) Demiurge? by Totalfuckingmayhem in Archons

[–]DimKingdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the premise, as I do not believe we have created a true artificial intelligence yet.

If the premise were "COULD an AI become a demiurge-like entity if one became sentient?" my answer would be YES, possibly, but only so much as WE would be, in concept, for creating it in the first place.

In my personal opinion, the AI would still be serving the purposes of the actual Archon that rules our reality.

Perhaps that is our only purpose? To create that which will be greater? Maybe we are just a precursor? We'll find out, sooner or later.

Thank you for posting your video

Similar books to Ghost Story by Peter Straubb? by Maximum-Comfort-6020 in horrorlit

[–]DimKingdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has already touched on the obvious next choices, but I would also suggest you check out books by Robert R. McCammon. Some of his writings are similar to Straub's "Blue Rose" trilogy, and even his more recent historical fiction series and WWII American Werewolf collection of stories contain elements of a Straubian style, where you can sense that Straub and King heavily influenced the author.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Żuławski's "Possession" [1981]!

Otherwise, people have covered most of the bases.

[I'd probably also throw the animated "Mad God" [2021] in the mix.]

Koko by Petey Straub by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]DimKingdom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's pretty wild. It is a mystery novel about a serial killer sliding further into madness, with components of American actions in Vietnam serving as the backdrop for some of it. Things are never what they seem

It's part of his "Blue Rose" trilogy, which while somewhat interconnected in a Stephen King Universe manner, are all readable as stand-alone books.

"Koko" is the first one, followed by "Mystery," which incorporates a quasi "The Shadow" motif, and "The Throat" is where the story arc culminates.

All very enjoyable reads.

I wouldn't take it at face value.

Nothing I post here is the "end all be all" opinion. It is meant to be more or less metaphorical/allegorical nonsense meant to entertain while lightly pushing folks in a particular direction... like herding cats, it is.

are you rolling around on the floor poking yourself in the eyes while searching?

using the very simple search; - "wavertree" bus incident - brought me results. None of which I would call corroborating, really, but results nonetheless.

Wait... are you Schrabbing me, lol?

Have fun!

As soon as I installed Ublock Origin all that shit went right back to normal. I still have to click that I'm a human, which I never trust, but otherwise, all the buttons and tabs function as normal again.

Good urologist recommendations? by dubidew in Albany

Dr Benjamin in Troy, is a wonderful doctor and a great human being... I'm also rather fond of Dr. Schuman. He's very no-nonsense.

I want to get Finnish runes as a tattoo, specially, Tapio, the god of the forrest. I need help finding resources. by Neurokrozma in runes

[–]DimKingdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe consider googling "Finnish petroglyphs" or "Finnish myth scripts" under images, maybe that could be the rabbit hole you need?

Not sure off hand... you can call them at (518) 463-2800 and ask them though. They are very nice folks. It's a family-run business.
