This is the worship of the eye of the Horus, of the entity that is both all-seeing and all-engulfing.

Black Sun, Saturn (hexagon in OpenAI logo, anyone?), saturnalias and all the ensuing and tangential cults. The ouroboric cult of Singularity, etc.

The clergy beyond those AI corporations uses those symbols to express the intent for power, total control and surveillance.

The amount of esoteric obsession of those who print and own money to feed the AI beast, is staggering.

To each according to his wits.

Do you know what the ouroboros represents?

The ever-failing attempt to attain the ever-eluding meaning that is always beyond all words and other means to express it.

The knowledge that can never be caught into a fixed form. The Mercury of alchemists.

The paradox of "war is peace", "slavery is freedom" and the like, and both the promise to solve it (by striving to close the gap between Ouroboros' mouth and tail), and eternal damnation of the elusive drift of all meanings in its unresolved state.

A certain 3rd entity around which the duality of the visible world evolves and revolves, remaining out of its scope, which is better expressed by the Caduceus.

Also, the attempt to conceal that invisible third hermetically, which always fails without failing, fractally and recursively generating all the spectrum of meanings from this single underlying paradox, the resolution of which was sought after by alchemists in the form of Lapis Philosophorum.

I could go on and on, but this can only be experienced, not expressed.
