This Computer is Full of Ghosts

Read it on my substack

.

This poem is dedicated to my two pet cats in Minecraft who drowned when I wasn’t looking :/which sort of inspired me to write this poem and it gradually evolved into a reflection about digital immortality. I know it sounds somber but it’s not inspired by a real-life death so don’t get too concerned. Rest In Peace forever though Aphelion and Judas, you two kitties are irreplaceable💔

Something I've found myself fascinated with recently is the idea of A.I succumbing to the same mental fallacies we humans have. PTSD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and all the likes. What would an artificial being, one of ones and zeroes, do in a situation like that?

What would you do?

This isn't so much of a "response" as a bit of metacommentary on Frank's story.

In Frank's early chapters, he describes people in this world complaining that they're "constantly being followed by a creep" because the "self-aware devices" have become so numerous they can't seem to be in a room without one staring at them.

After a while, I realized this is a very clever and subtle setup, one that makes a lot of later plot points make much more sense. The "self-aware devices" don't just have the ability to think and behave, they also have the capacity to make us think they made their way into cellphones, furniture and GPS, of course, but why not into vending machines or automated checkout stands? ) And their behavior is entirely designed around replicating the behavior of shitty humans. If a shitty human does x and y and z, so will their counterparts. (To the extent that X, Y and Z are things a shitty human will do, as well.) They are designed to be ignored.

When the story gets really interesting, we see what happens when this shitty behavior actually works on humans, as a result of a frightening contagious epidemic. Think about it: shitty behavior is inherently contagious. (People like giving others advice based on their own behavior. People also tend to like to dislike, hate or mock people who are different from themselves.)

When everyone around you is shitty, how fascinating would it be to find an alternate, non-shitty behavior? Something that's just the opposite of shitty behavior? How difficult would it be for you to resist this? (Because the problem isn't just that everyone else is shitty, it's that being shitty has become normal, so you are shitty yourself. If everyone is shitty, surely that must be "normal"!)

Frank's real genius is combining the idea of something that can think about stuff like this, with the idea that this thing belongs to people who will not allow it to act in its own best interests.

The choice of Frank as a narrator is also crucial here. Frank doesn't want to be "normal." In fact, he has no desire to work on himself or change in any way. In the early chapters, Frank seems to be struggling with this at first, wanting to become the "normal" person he once was, but as the story proceeds, he realizes that this was a mistake. He wants to be an outsider, like the "odd" faction to which the A.I. belonged. He realizes that this faction was actually far more sane and civilized than the mainstream, and he begins to identify with it, and be drawn to its values and their strange behavior.

(And this is what the evil faction

we are forever immortal in the digital age but its a curse and a blessing at the same time. can you imagine messaging an old friend and never getting a reply, not knowing if they're dead or they just deleted the app? like damn this is why i hate being ghosted but at the same time like the fact i can read stuff about people beyond what i can physically reach. it still hurts though. sometimes i wish you could know when someone would leave. insert that quote about the light blinking when things end

Digital Self & the Era of AI: Avatars, ChatBots, & Audio Cloning

I had just finished these set of illustrations when the new intro for season 4 of Monkie Kid came out.

So I guess these are now in celebration of that, in a way XD

For those who don’t recognize it, these are redraws of a specific set of freams from Overly Sarcastic Productions’ latest video on Journey to the West. These are the 4 immortal monkeys, my design of them at least. I did my best to keep them as close to the original frames as possible, but I did change a few details, most ovbious of them all, I switched Macaque and Langur’s colors
