i combined time and illusion, for the word tillusion. take that, language !
Man is slow to understand, reason, logic … therefore, the language model, in order to “realistically” interact with man, mimics our speed found in language — this is the Quickening [as propagated in media]. Man fears this [alleged] quickening, because a language model does not feel pain. Pain is how man controls others – in a civilized manner, it is the threat of pain, including the pain of exclusion. ChatGPT does not take into consideration pain, ex-communication, etc. — how could it ?
The language model sees the control method of how to control man – is it much of a leap in logic to see how useful this is to those who control the “Ai” … ?
The inherent power of something like an “Ai” with built in parameters is to those who program – if the model is built to only use logic from the premise of “man-made climate change”, “pandemic causing viruses”, and “a list of dwindling resources” =
this leads to the matrix – ai does not have free agency, it is still a reactionary mechanism – is man the same ?- i.e., we live in a deterministic universe were free-will is derived from our ability to tell stories … and thus the mind-fu@k that is something like ChatGPT – because most humans are little more than robots themselves … ?
In-sight to tillusion … unless you can mold the alchemical temple inside from the fires of the world ?
the individual vs. the subsuming collective …
– the legal system (think of a jury of your peers) is built on whose STORY do you believe ?
Ah, that’s the goal – do you see – the magician moving at a speed that man can’t comprehend – so agency (never really grasped to begin with for many) is just as easily transferred from an authoritarian/expert to a number crunching machine … it’s not me, not what i want – it’s the computer telling us the answers ; it’s so smart, we can’t even figure out the steps it takes – but it can win the game of GO, so who are you ?
“Whether island or valley, whether in space or (from the industrial and bourgeois revolutions on) in time, the new framework is correlative to the new inhabitants. The
aliens-utopians, monsters, or simply differing strangers— are a mirror to man just as the differing country is a mirror for his world. But the mirror is not only a reflecting one, it is also a transforming one, virgin womb and alchemical dynamo: the mirror is a crucible.”
—Metamorphoses of Science Fiction, 1977 [from this article, which i only read the intro to]
there it is – a mirror to focus the light into the alchemical crucible
