Computers are the new genies.

laurei — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 05:18:13 +0000

Humans are pretty intelligent but what gives AI hope is that our bodies impose limits on our intelligence which aren’t imposed on parageographical neural systems. we WILL develop machines that are even more intelligent than us, and that is a scary thought: being told by a machine what is good for us, if indeed they will take our requests on board we will need to be very careful when we display our list of priorities, after all computers are the new genies.

Factory of factories

Factory of Factories.

Isn’t my smile enough?
Is my charm not sufficient?
Or should I capture your imagination?
A place of Internet and trucks
Is the new world.

If Byron or Tennyson or Keats were here theyd’ve failed to capture the imaginations of next years revolutionaries by writing about myspace last year
Facebook this year
Or what we can’t imagine next.

The trick is to say timeless things in a timely manner.

They’d have been absorbed by the factories of mindless assemblies of garble.

Factory of factories.
Humanism and the universe, two things we will never escape.

Rebellion this year
is the trend of next year,
oh yes that mindless trend.
Is the bane of the next century.
is the syllabus of the next millennium
And the chasm in which the future is fallen.
Sucked into a black hole
Memory of the great is not missing
It stretches as it swirls around the black hole
Like cream stirred into soup.
That is what we call relativity.

Timeless things in a timely manner.

You fucking idiots, the universe IS a black hole, it sucks, quite literally everything is sinking, but its no threat to us, all the rules don’t change, ever, all the rules obey the one master rule, and that is change.
That is the reason for time it’s self and an answer to why you can’t go back.

Death is just an imaginary point on a continuous delta, it’s of no real effect to us.

You study the big bang like the be all and the end all, but its not, the universe is a parabola, a sine, it collapses and expands between the duality.

Just like atoms.

If I was God And you asked for the secrets of the universe, I wouldn’t give them to you
But I’ll put them into poetry so you had to learn to enjoy it.

Poetry of friendship, poetry of love.

I’d tell them to a long haired poet who’d travel around with you and 11 other friends.

One day computers will enjoy my poetry.

Computers who take our place.
While we climb to a higher existence.
When technology creates technology it climbs too.
But do you know what technology daemons will call what we create for them? Their environment.

Just like our environment was created for us.
Humans are just technology for the spirits. We climb after them up Jacobs ladder, software daemons climb up after us.

Life is just a big factory, a factory of factories, and you can never really escape it.

Laurei.

(And who really cares about what software does, as long as it’s doing it’s job right?)

Have a good day.

stress

laurei — Thu, 13 May 2010 04:36:10 +0000

Time is a record

pushing a record needle home before it would naturally get there by spinning

Stress is like a record skipping – the music isn’t enjoyable but that’s okay if the point is returning the needle to the centre. Stress is social preservation to the detriment of the individual… like a bee’s sting? There has to be a positive reason to stress or that would be proof that evil exists wouldn’t it?

Mc Church, McReligion

I’m Mc Loving it! Whipped this little picture up, Just wondering if anyone has been to a Mc Church lately, you know what I mean, so brand aware that they forgot what they’re getting people in for.

Categorising and naming things

laurei — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:32:04 +0000

I am well intrigued by the way the mind works, especially when it comes to trying to emulate the processes of the mind, and there is none more mystical, and perplexing than how we categorise things, categorising seems to me to be the highest skill imaginable in a human, it seems to be the most mystical, the most important, and as a computer scientist, the hardest to emulate, or even model. Of course we categorise things all the time in computing, to look at any website navigation menu, list of links or layout option, it is very obvious that these are categorised, but more often than not they have been deliberately categorised by hand, by a human, and that’s what I’m getting at, we can’t get computers to do it quite yet, although it seems so very simple, natural, and thoughtless for a human, perhaps it’s the biggest difference between us and computers. I don’t know about anyone else, but in every software project I do, I wrestle with the idea of how to program a computer to categorise and name things, it always becomes computer science, and ends in philosophy, this is my david stone, I have a huge chunk of stone like Michaelangelo, and every day I think, I come outside with a chisel, and take a little bit of it…

Why artificial intelligence will become a reality.

laurei — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:12:57 +0000

I know that we will have artificial intelligence very soon, in fact intelligence which far surpasses our own intelligence, and that it’s possible, because everything humans learn, and express come in through a binary encodable nerve signal, take place in a 3d physical chemical reaction and go out through a binary encodable nerve signal, computers can already model 3d molecules, chemical reactions, and real world physics, so there is nothing to stop a brain from being modeled, in a serialised way inside a computer, with an analogue to digital input and digital to analouge output converter for communication eg sonic. There is nothing really to stop the 3d model from actually being created by a computer now with advances in 3d printing, so there is no reason why a human brain can’t just be “printed” into being in the future, possible out of a substrate that allows neural pathways to grow when they are being used…

State Education

laurei — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 15:26:17 +0000

State education is nothing but a hedge, it has never been in the interest of the individual tree, no growth that is outstanding is fostered, no brilliance is allowed, in fact the highest plants are trimmed back to the standard of the smallest continually. State education is up there with lobotomies, chinese foot binding, involuntary sterilization, and wacky nazi science, it is a sad casualty of mankind trying to manipulate what nature naturally does best – it is the pruning of the growing minds of children en mass, indiscriminately with blunt instruments. Education produces nothing in greater proportion than it produces uniformity, the death of individuality, and psychological harm to the brilliant, intelligent, different and noteworthy. The ideals of state education may be good, but the task of catering to the needs of every individual child in the nation through a top-down approach, means that there is massive mismanagement, wastage, corruption of the precious resource entrusted to it, (the 50% of the waking hours of the average childhood). If any other government project took so long, cost so much, and failed so often, then only by delusion can it be considered a success.

Religion, state, culture

laurei — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:46:26 +0000

Ubiquitous religion is the hallmark of every mature nation, anything less is inefficient to the goals of those in power.

Whatever becomes of the west, I know two things, a) there WILL rise a state religion, b) It will be powerful enough to create miracles through science and mystery.

What is worse, failure or not succeeding?

laurei — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:01:43 +0000

Am I any worse if I fail than what I stay if I never try?
