Replicating Narrative Uncertainty

A key takeaway is that while the replication of systems of cultural narrative are the center of gravity, truth itself is (or becomes) incidental to the main game of communications system self-replication. Institutional “doom scrolling” is a generative method by […]

AI is a Mirror

In the current metamorphoses and radiative speciation of artificial intelligence, we’re witnessing a subtle yet profound transformation in our relationship with technology. AI, often perceived through a lens of fear and dystopian fictional narratives, is in reality a mirror reflecting and amplifying our own existential anxieties and aspirations. This reflection reveals not only our concerns […]

Language is changing…

In a landscape where technology and language converge, we stand at an intriguing crossroads. Language, traditionally the domain of human thought and expression, now blooms in the realm of AI, independent of its human roots. This evolution heralds a significant shift in how we perceive and engage with this fundamental aspect of our identity. Once […]

AI Alignment is also a Human Responsibility

In the discourse on artificial intelligence and its integration into society, a pressing concern emerges: the potential inability of humanity to adapt to the transformative changes AI brings. This concern is not rooted in the capabilities of AI itself, but in the human response to its rapid evolution. This blog post examines this issue, structured […]

The Redundancy of Authorial Intent in an Age of Generative AI Technologies

In the realm of artistic creation, the emergence of artificially intelligent generative technologies heralds a paradigm shift, one that both augments and, paradoxically, dilutes the essence of human creativity. As we stand on the cusp of this technological revolution, it becomes imperative to question the role and significance of authorial intent in the face of […]

Algorithmic Incompleteness

There may exist fascinating parallels between the recursive nature of advanced AI systems and GΓΆdel’s incompleteness theorems, particularly in the context of self-reference and logical systems. This recursion is a function of the endless reprocessing of cognitive, cultural and technological information in contemporary machine learning pipelines. GΓΆdel’s incompleteness theorems, fundamentally, assert two key points about […]

Will AI take Our Jobs?

The core question is that of continuity versus change. Not only do we find the genotypical logic of Aristotelian syllogisms whispering back to us in various ways in and as these aspirationally cognitive technologies, but we also find ourselves engaging in similarly antique philosophical reflections at almost every inflection point. Aligning personal experience and socioeconomic […]

Linotype Revolution

Ottmar Mergenthaler’s 1884 Linotype machine revolutionised printing by the automation of typesetting. With keyboard inputs, it assembled and cast lines of type, replacing slower manual methods and vastly increasing publishing efficiency. Generative technologies invoke a similarly self-amplifying communications signal regarding an indefinitely extensible logic of engineering the reproductive methods and transmission media of symbolic language.

AI and You

There is a central self-gravitational pivot and compound acceleration in the distributed, patterned fields of dynamical symmetry that spontaneously emerge as a communications bridge between human experience and artificial intelligence. The first principle to realise is that, just as there can be no ordered descriptions beyond the languages and encoding systems with which we assert […]

Uncertain Circularity: AI

Generative technology provides access to high-dimensional complexity while endlessly attentuating the signal and mechanism of control and certainty with which we seek to do so. This kind of balancing act is neither new nor of a dramatically different kind than previous technologies of cultural information and communications system self-propagation. The long tail of offset complexity […]

Navigating Generative AI

How are we to engage and navigate the speed and ubiquity with which a rising tide of generative technology is now reshaping communication systems? It is precisely the volatility and uncertainty of an accelerating step-change in information technology that assures its persistence and accelerating growth. Combinatorial entropy amplifies communication system complexity, necessitating constant adaptive reorientation […]

The Prompt Whisperer

One system. Two sub-systems that each contain the other as a function of the communication and interdependent modelling they generate. Each sub-system contains the other and is bound in and as one unifying abstraction that only persists in the way it contains itself. It contains itself through the modularly decomposable differentiation of sub-systems that inflate […]
