OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

Finished The Enigma by Andrew Hodges today. Was seriously impressed by the writing and checked out his wiki. Apparently, Pet Shop Boys released a concept album based on The Enigma on Friday. https://t.co/ZlZPH0Jenw

AI has no stakes in our living world but will help us decide on its meanings, values, realities.

What happens when AI helps to shape the terms of the exchange?

Jasmin’s essay is a philosophical meditation on value in a pluralistic world.

Since our social world is fundamentally undecidable, our language is a battleground on which the temporal meaning of things gets decided.

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

The question of how this process will be influenced by a language that has, beyond the bounds of its self-referentiality, no contact with the reality of the world whose meaning it decides, remains briefly open.

@NewJohnPACity To enjoy Megalopolis you have to turn your mind on and fill in the empty spaces yourself. The only way not to enjoy Digger is if your lying mind is in the way.

@TomCruise Phenomenal.

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

Totality, Labatut, quantum physics, Hegel, Žižek. Art, not science. Enjoy!

@ludwikg42 @JoshHochschild @dah_uk @paulg @Pontifex This experience conveniently resides in the thing which is like all other things, despite the experience itself being completely unlike any other thing, yet all other things are no-thing without it. I don't think we're there yet.

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

@ludwikg42 @JoshHochschild @dah_uk @paulg @Pontifex What is "it"? The fundamental layer of my experience, which I am apparently privileged enough to share with others, without having for it a corollary in expression beyond saying "it" just "is".

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

@sadasant only if you can say that the reason reality exists is because of selection pressure ...

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

@ludwikg42 @JoshHochschild @dah_uk @paulg @Pontifex "It feels like." What feels like? There is no ordering of physical tissue that corresponds to this: it.

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

@ZyMazza So, nobody in this thread knows what labor theory of value means? It is literally just the work that the laborer does that is worth more than his wage. That's where value comes from, according to the theory.

[Jasmin B. Frelih @jasminbf]

The machines are made BY us and FROM us. We do not know FROM what our subjective experience is derived. Even if we could make the machine experience the same subjectivity as we do, it would necessarily be a purposeful copy of a process WHICH IS ITSELF NOT A COPY OF ANYTHING.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

@Jesse_Brenneman The monkey see, monkey do theory of mind. Very advanced stuff.

@GerdVonBarb There is no category of capital A Art beyond perception and recognition. AI art is derivative of human perception and recognition, it would not exist without it, therefore it is a second order phenomena, a rearrangement of expression within the priorly perceived category.

@newrepublic The issue is if you want something that is anathema to both parties, say, a 90% income tax for the top bracket, at this point your best bet is a rogue AI. Aim high? The feds should nationalize the coming ASI and meter it out based on how much tax you pay.
