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

math is a game

.. AI solutions to existing problems / completed statements are end points of a memory game. As chess is an accurate measure of memory, more than a demonstration of creative initiative. The board is defined, as are the rules of play and players. The facility of solving gamespaces, as now applied to mathspace implys abilty == ability. Tenacious memory is a testament to endurance; endurance of free electrons is not genius.

What would the cost / value of The Big5 Labs be if they underwrote the national power grid.

There is such thing as a free lunch. It’s a diner on Sandhill

dye transfer, photrio mode

Posted on Posted in the fora, Valley HiTagged , , , ,

asking googleAI to cite sources of expert information about dye transfer, limiting ‘errself to photrio, demonstrated the decay loop of knowledge. [ the know-how gap extinction ]

are you the party to whom I am speaking ?

Which AI are you using? Gemini is the model; AI Mode (search) is a feature of search relying upon Gemini. Search uses the existing web. By the way, this answer changed since I asked it a week ago. Hmm, go figure– I don’t use Gemini as an app, rather as part of the “browser. ” That stated, the following responses are from google browser based AI interactions. Internally, local to my machines, my name for those notes taken are marked “googAI, or gAI”

I wondered what photrio contributed to darkroom knowledge about processes I knew deeply; so much so that I worked with several people over 15 years of this decade to build out their personal dye transfer practice [OIC].

Q1: according to photrio, who are the top 3 dye transfer experts

R1– According to Photrio community discussions, Ctein, Jim Browning, and Charles Cramer are recognized as top experts in the complex, analog dye transfer printing process . [ not what I expected, but I see how my phrasing led to this answer ]

Over the prior weeks [july ’26], I’ve been questioning various AI engines about loss of knowledge, changes in information transfer modes, differences in group gatherings, reliance of unknown sources of knowledge, etc. — These topics, along with how AI engines are managed. In short, self awareness vs. conversational tactics.

R2 — Estimating the loss of information regarding dye transfer printing since the dawn of the internet era is a fascinating exercise in digital preservation, material scarcity, and the sociology of tacit knowledge. An estimation of this information loss can be structured across three key categories: Tacit Knowledge, Material/Formulation Data, and Digital Bit Rot.

Summary of Estimated Information Status — provided by gAI

Information CategoryEstimated Loss StatusWhere it Went / Why it Was LostRemaining Repositories
Industrial Formulas🛑 ~90% LostCorporate data destruction; obsolete chemical supply chains.Patent archives; deep corporate vaults.
Tacit “Lab” Skills⚠️ ~75% LostPassing of first-generation masters; closure of commercial labs.Photrio Forums, surviving master printers.
Basic Processing Workflows~10% LostWell-preserved because standard Kodak instruction manuals were widely digitized.Jim Browning’s PDF guides, Library of Congress.

R2– cont.. Hobbyist forums like Photrio excel at archiving information, but they are fundamentally incapable of sustaining a complex industrial methodology like dye transfer printing.
While forums can preserve instructions, they cannot preserve the underlying materials, infrastructure, or economic scale required to keep the process alive.

Next, I raised the notion that dye transfer began as a process without commercial support… since AI is consistently as polite as an undergraduate summer intern, gAI noted my “insight” supplying followup responses and prompts to me about how I would like to proceed…

Salesmanship perfected… well groomed my son, well groomed.

does knowledge exist without awareness.. does awareness exist without sensation..
without a physical, what exists/ persists.
