An AI project influenced by 'Prometheus Rising'


I don't know very much about AI, and I cannot evaluate MindBound Labs, a company founded in India by Kehur Ahuja. He is using an approach called "Recursive Insight Synthesis" to "to accelerate the evolution of ASI  [Artificial Super Intelligence]." This is described in his Substack. 

See this passage in a recent Substack newsletter for why I am bringing this to your attention:

"I am deeply grateful to Robert Anton Wilson for inspiring me to develop this approach. In his seminal book Prometheus Rising, specifically in Chapter 14 titled “THE METAPROGRAMMING CIRCUIT,” Wilson explores the concept of "meta-programming awareness." He writes:

“Korzybski even claimed that the use of mathematical scripts is an aid to developing this circuit, for as soon as you think of your mind as mind1, and the mind which contemplates that mind as mind2 and the mind which contemplates mind2 contemplating mind1 as mind3, you are well on your way to meta-programming awareness.”

"This idea struck me deeply. The recursive layers of self-reflection that Wilson describes—the contemplation of mind1, mind2, and mind3—resonated with me as a profound way of thinking about both the mind and the process of knowledge generation itself. It became clear that this recursive structure could be applied not only to the mind but also to the development of ASI."
