"There was an exchange on Twitter a while back where someone said, ‘What is artificial intelligence?' And someone else said, 'A poor choice of words in 1954'," he says. "And, you know, they’re right. I think that if we had chosen a different phrase for it, back in the '50s, we might have avoided a lot of the confusion that we're having now." So if he had to invent a term, what would it be? His answer is instant: applied statistics. "It's genuinely amazing that...these sorts of things can be extracted from a statistical analysis of a large body of text," he says. But, in his view, that doesn't make the tools intelligent. Applied statistics is a far more precise descriptor, "but no one wants to use that term, because it's not as sexy".

'The machines we have now are not conscious', Lunch with the FT, Ted Chiang, by Madhumita Murgia, 3 June/4 June 2023

Susan Sontag, from As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980; February 17th, 1970

Text ID: I don't feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall—like seeking love in a whorehouse.

Call Down The Hawk - Maggie Stiefvater / Graywaren - Maggie Stiefvater / Peinture 324 x 181 cm - Pierre Soulages / The Son Of Man - René Magritte / Graywaren - Maggie Stiefvater / Graywaren - Maggie Stiefvater

#tdtedit #declanedit #ronanedit #Declan Lynch #Ronan Lynch #TDT #the Dreamer Trilogy #TRC #the fact that Ronan - Declan's BROTHER who has known him literally their entire lives - has both never seen Declan cry #AND never seen him truly unreservedly un-self-consciously smile #is goddamn tragic #but the true emotional resolution to the series for me is that Ronan sees both of these things in the last chapter #both Declan's grief and his joy #displayed openly where Ronan is allowed to witness them for the first time instead of hidden carefully away #like many many other things about this series #it makes me wanna GODDAMN CRY adlfkgj #quote posts

#Attempted another web weaving #web weaving #web weave #on love #on longing #on yearning #floriian: like the soft beating of a heart in a still chest (fit into me like a missing rib)#An attempt at exploring the dynamic between Bruce and the Reader-insert #Everything is interchangeable #The quotes are both of them towards the other #The art as well #Attempted to show the change from what we have at first #Shying away #Both Bruce and Reader from each other #And then slowly coming towards each other #Together #It's important that none of this is ever said aloud #They don't even consciously think this #It's all in the subconscious #What neither of them say but will feel #The refusal to voice it #To say it #To have it become real and give it a name and give it life #It's all about control over themselves and the world around them #Just perfect for eachother 🥰#Also important to note that to a certain extent they're both very much/somewhat aware of how the other feels but once again neither of them #Say anything despite slowly acting differently towards each other #Just a short web weave exploring their dynamic

If you do not spend time getting to know yourself, you will end up absorbing everyone else's random and conflicting ideas about you.

Knowing who you are on a very deep and intimate level is the best way to protect yourself from internalizing disempowering opinions from others.

Quote

There is no objective reality... there is only an illusion of consciousness, there is only an objectification of reality, which was created by the spirit. The origin of life is creativity, freedom; and the personality, subject, and spirit are the representatives of that origin, but not the nature, not the object.

Nikolai Berdyaev, Dream and Reality
