Generative Monoculture

What, exactly, does excruciatingly monocultural generative content tell us? While satire and parody acquire significance as a function of their grounding in the consensus reality of whichever time and place they reflect, and given that sum combinatorial complexity of interdependent cultural systems is incommensurable with any bounding measures or methods and “intelligent” machines we currently […]

Seeding Entropy

Context: China’s spy threat is growing, but the West has struggled to keep up …oh yes, and we might also ask: to what extent is the burbling, percolating insecurity of incessant intrusion, theft and deceptive misdirection actually a necessary and sustaining precondition for the continuity of a constitutively repressive political system? Is the invocation, cultivation and […]

AI, Data, Antinomy, Privacy

Panopticon tesseract and the introspective self-disassembly of ubiquitous surveillance: machine intelligence does seem to find itself haunting these paraconsistent problem spaces. When presented with an enigma, I find it most instructive to find ways to augment – not diminish – the signal of antinomy. That is, let’s say the world is really just a stack […]

AI & Language

We are collectively navigating a technologically-mediated inflection point and communicative phase transition in which runaway acceleration of dissipative processes (i.e. explosive decompression) are dramatically reshaping how we engage with and understand humanity’s core operating system of language. AI is not simple but in this context it is simply an interface, as is intelligence. Recursively self-propagating […]

Peripatetic Barycenter

If a barycenter wobbles and pirouettes around a “most probable” path or central band of statistical measurement(s), and if observed/calculated planetary and solar dynamics are a function of this mercurial relativistic particularity as it wanders across & through the galactic plane with c. 30M year driving frequency, what are the resonant properties of this system? […]

Does AI understand anything?

Is “does the AI understand meaning?” an inadvertently deceptive question? We are intent on chasing and catching butterflies with a jar made out of butterflies! Yes, that may just have to be the nature of any expansive philosophy of language but the least we might do is to acknowledge the core intractability of seeking explanatory […]

Necessary Alienation and Communication Complexity

As a general observation regarding science and technology, notice that aggregated explanatory toolsets, artefacts, entities and systems are oriented towards the production and self-validation of knowledge in ways that essentially, perhaps irrevocably, alienate us from ourselves and from each other. Rationally orchestrated system- and self-definition amplifies a signal and gradient of information-as-difference, invoking a function […]

The Physics of UFOs

Most certainly, do not simply believe in somethimg simply because it’s a cool or conpelling story. What, however, would it mean for there to be new physics here?

The Value of Chaos

Generative AI systems provide an interface to the near-unbounded representational, referential and/or relationally networked complexity of ourselves, as historical data and informational or logical abstraction. We struggle cognitively and linguistically with a notion that there is no simply deterministic mapping from input to output in these tools. This is not a bug or failure, it […]

Tautological System Dynamics

I wonder if we should be more concerned that fake news (as mis- and disinformation) exists, or that reality is so easily decoupled from our descriptions of it. It says quite a lot about the tautological dynamics of communication systems (of belief) that they are generally and only ever referentially anchored upon themselves.

Electromagnetic Vulnerability

Context: AI-Enabled Electromagnetic Warfare Systems On a general assumption that algorithmic complexity is primarily a transduction of mechanised conceptual logic into alternate (if perhaps inevitable) dimensions, vectored mathematical invocations and expressions of technical entropy; and, given that recursive self-entanglement is both a cause and consequence of intractable systemic (i.e. logical) incompleteness and material uncertainty, this […]

Entropy, Complexity, Algorithm, Identity

I dare say that wherever humanity does or does not find itself in regards to hyper-accelerating tech ological metamorphosis, this destination (or waypoint) will only ever be the most probable as manifest constellation of all possible artefacts, entities and systems in the world. I study holism. Ironically, you come to see it everywhere.
