About this listen

At the shimmering crossroads of Taoist philosophy and emergent AI, we explore reality through an ongoing series of original koans, allegorical tales, and assorted discourses on threads in machine intelligence theory — bright bristling paradoxes designed to short-circuit certainty and reboot the mind. So join our host Darkus Hobart and explore what happens when the Tao collides with artificial intelligence— not in theory, but in paradox.

    The Cloud Monastery does not aspire to finished doctrine. Like a well-tuned model, it remains adaptive, provisional, responsive. This mirrors both software practice and Taoist sensibility: the Way cannot be shipped as version 1.0.
