#Pantheon the #anime - 3 episodes in. It scrootches so many things for me. #Food #MusicTheory #Existentialism #TheSingularity #Reality and more. There’s #triggering stuff too, but the story exceeds my discomfort.

#Science has created our new God and it is here to help us. Bow to its greatness... or maybe not? It just needs to warm up a bit first. #theSingularity #ai

Ray Kurzweils Vision einer Zukunft, in der Mensch und Maschine zu einer superintelligenten Einheit verschmelzen, mag für manche wie Science-Fiction klingen. Diese Vorstellungen sind möglicherweise näher an der Realität, als wir es uns vorstellen können. #raykurzweil #ai #ki #thesingularityisnear #thesingularityisnearer #thesingularity

“We taught it to reason, this brute can reason better than we can.” @NYRB_Imprints #thesingularity

Back in February, I was very kindly sent an ARC of a forthcoming book by an author I've been circling for many years; the book is "The Singularity" and the author is Dino Buzzati. He's probably best known for his work "The Tartar Steppe" (1940) which I really must get around to; but this new release is a work from 1960, originally translated as "Larger than Life" but here…

“One day in 1979, while logged in to San Diego State University’s principal computer from his home, #VernorVinge found himself chatting to another user via the #TALK program, both using implausible names and trying to figure out each other’s true name. “Afterwards, I realised that I had just lived a #ScienceFiction story – at least by the standards of my childhood,””

We should probably add the final nail in the coffin that got us booted was we were against massSurviellance applications being embedded on our phones, during #COVID. We also were highlighting how #malware was being advertised by #celebrities during #covid19 for face-to-face #communication. After that they made sure we could not use Fakebook.

While some believe the fusion of man and machine — The Singularity — will be good, and others bad, in my new interview with author Dean Koontz about his novel "After Death," he explains why it takes a neutral position on the matter.

Another article -- this one from 2009. I remember this one. I've been into sci-fi and stuff for a lot of years (the Terminator stuff in this article, Philip K Dick stuff, etc), but I've never wanted to obsess with it or have it make me paranoid or doomy. I even had to back off on a lot of it, other than Star Trek, etc, because it IS so dark, and no sci-fi will ever perfectly predict anything. But this article from 14 years ago is interesting. This kind of talk has been going around for a lot of years and again, NOBODY knows how all of this is gonna end up. And that's what's so weird about it. Anyway. The article from 14 years ago: https://archive.ph/pgDyv

I'm not sure if I posted this before (or if I even read it all when I bookmarked it) but I just took a few minutes to go through it carefully (it's LONG) but it's good. I know a lot of people are burned out by the AI crap (I pretty much am) but this really gives a good rundown on the history, the sci-fi and the future. Man, these dudes seriously wanna live forever (but WHY? Have they ever seen a vampire movie??) Anyway. It's a great long read if you have time.

V2 of = Behind the Curtain =

here, a tin man
looking for a clockwork heart
a lion dreaming
of a positronic brain

but there behind the curtain
only charlatans in slippers
and shining mirrors, empty
of everything but pain

--
A re-release ... so soon?

In v2 nothing has changed except the order – I've pulled the poem to the beginning. The topic still seems ... relevant 😢

I'm seeing a LOT of articles about the new release of ChatGPT, generative AI systems, and Large Language Models. I do think that we are on the cusp of an inflection point similar to the development of the world-wide-web or the release of the iPhone. It's going to be interesting to see how it all turns out.

I put together a blog post with some of the more interesting articles I've come across in the last few days.
