A conversation about what AI changes about how we interpret coincidence.
This episode of the Coincidence Project's podcast features John Schalcosky on a question that did not exist when Jung was writing: what does artificial intelligence change about how we experience coincidence?
The conversation lands on a useful irony. AI is a pattern machine, built to surface the uncannily relevant — so the feed now manufactures the very feeling Jung described, at scale and on demand. The episode is valuable because it treats that seriously without treating it as magic: anything a pattern machine surfaces is worth holding lightly.
The meaning
A thoughtful guest on a coincidence focused podcast, pushing the idea into the present moment.
The skeptic
AI is a pattern machine too, so any meaning it surfaces is worth holding lightly.
