Pharmako-AI: co-writing with an AI and navigating the dark hallways of the mind with K Allado-McDowell (and GPT-3)
🕑 Added 2020-11-17 21:28:13 +0000 UTCIn the advent of their new book “Pharmako-AI”, co-written with OpenAI’s GPT-3 system, we speak to K Allado-McDowell (and GPT-3) about creating with an inhuman (and a human), the nature and history of intelligence, and focussing art and technology towards healing.
K Allado-McDowell is a writer, speaker, and musician. They are the author, with GPT-3, of the book Pharmako-AI, and are co-editor, with Ben Vickers, of The Atlas of Anomalous AI. Allado-McDowell records and releases music under the name Qenric.
Allado-McDowell established the Artists + Machine Intelligence program at Google AI. They are a conference speaker, educator and consultant to think-tanks and institutions seeking to align their work with deeper traditions of human understanding.

Hello again. Please excuse any redundant comments as I'm working through the episodes from first to most recent, but I haven't heard any comment about Microsoft acquiring 'exclusive' access to GPT-3 and the implications that this might have. What are your thoughts on this (or please direct me to other discussions and/or episodes in which this is discussed).

thanks, the I Ching is a great reference point - we use it quite often re AI and music as it was a big deal for Cage
Wow what an amazing conversation! From GPT and language, to the immanent intelligence of this language-based manmade system, to entheogenic healing! I couldn’t help but think about another probabilistic and interactive system, the I Ching, and how when you interact with it seems very alive and “oracular”, ie, does a great job of holding up a mirror in the most uncanny ways. Thanks again, really great!
