Example Sentences
- "[...] divine machinery, the idea that technology is angels designed to serve us. The bridge between spirituality and machines. Divine machinery might sound like an alarming or controversial concept that contradicts a person’s belief, but it is quite the opposite. [...] The significance behind divine machinery is not to worship computers or view technology as sentient but to better understand the importance of technology in our society and how that can be compared to the way we perceive religion."
- "Today’s "Divine Machinery" is the final short-circuit between these two worlds. It comes from this realization that we’ve built things—AI, global networks, hyper-objects—that we just don't control anymore. Dressing these systems in the robes of the divine is how we ritualize our submission to them."
