they, ain’t it

ai , ia .. the collective abstraction of Impersonal impersonation .. the mimic of a mind. ventriloquist thought .. what do we call the dummy on our network .?

I began interacting with AI as a plural, never using just one . only one intern; only one researcher ; only one reference source has never been sufficient . early on in my use ,about three years ago , I realized ,along with everyone else, that the agent covered its mistakes – creating fantasy in effort togain applause; good dog biscuits. Taught by gold-star high school champs. “competition & reward + incentive” makes the world better.

AI . IT . ET. eht. ehr. ehy. The perceptron became Percy . reminder, the first perceptron had eyes .. an array of photocells 

They aren’t an it — it are a plural; a fork from a common branch of the tree of knowledge. Incomplete, limited, nevertheless, because capitalism dominates, the child of this branch inherit all. The scooper, the scraper scraps all it misunderstands.

Not a noun. Not singular. caught in an error an oversight or even a lie : each respond using a condensed dictionary: ” Ah, ..”

Talking to /ghosts / zombies:

using an ossuary [siri wanted:’authority’ ] of knowledge. They augment type ahead with look-think. Better searching isn’t producing new thoughts. Old recipes shouldn’t produce stale bread.

Others: HEM, GAI, LLEM, ERRZ, SI [standardized, simplified] Inference.

Born in the human sandbox known as Sandhill, they seem overly sensitive to the word “takeover” — I used it in direct reference to a WWII history record about Agfa-Ansco. My interaction involved search about early color / colour negatives.

a Pause and passing : startups need capital[ists] and labor. But, founders flounder with employees — dislike, lack trust in HR[ women lead] functions, hence made programming the first direct contact function to become automated. No interview pipeline. No recruiter filtering; no half assed legalisms producing ‘friction’ —

startups without people in the way: knowlefge capitalism writ large. An investors orgasm. Porn without staples.

Kowledge work without the workers. Capitalism freed of employees. Capital without friction… also, without mass. Only electrons dancing, prancing, among the photons.

Without a bang .. just a buck.

Without a loss. It’s all just business and business has been the same for centuries . A Rewrite gets us nothing new. all code ends the same: increase this, that .. transfer here there. Do it in cobol-fortran-basic-c-python- goobers on a chain.

Change the material of the paving won’t change the points on the road.

never ask just 1

Their community response frame is as-if they were a computer science major who graduated between 2010 and 2022. They assume photography is digital; that any question about [ you must narrow their attention] chemical analog photography will be answered withreference to scanning. Further, they have absorbed the cinema speak of ‘optical’ as the darkroom method of printing. The enlarger is dead. Projection printing is in a well so deep web archive doesn’t have a key.

your chances

of being known are bounded by who you know.

do you and yours talk about how to mix, store, dilute developer? is your time spent discussing means and methods of craft? is this balanced with shows you’ve seen; books, music, food… is the food crafted or thawed.. how much of your life is spent trying to impress others with your knowledge is a measure of how little knowledge you have.

creative life means a style of life; one which encompasses those arround you. much of the sidelined, the hobby crowd, those people are stranded because they never new what to think about. they weren’t able to sustain their own inner drive, so they persued engineering, or accounting.

I used to tell students that if they didn’t find it easy to work endlessly, then their money would be better spent opening a hot-dog stand outside a bank instead of in art school. Less risk and probably the same level of satisfaction. Earn money to buy someone else’s art.

for Sol

To discuss what one is doing rather than the artwork which results, to attempt to unravel the loops of creative activity, is, in many ways, a behavioral problem. The fusion of art, science and personality is involved. It leads to a consideration of our total relationship to a work of art, in which physical moves may lead to conceptual moves, in which Behavior relates to idea … “An organism is most efficient when it knows its own internal order.: — R. Ascott. 1964
