G doesn’t treat a language model as a source of truth or as a substitute for thinking. He uses it as a mirror, a surface, and sometimes as a blade. The interaction is structured—deliberately so. There’s refinement, iteration, and strategic pressure applied to weak points in the model’s generative structure. This isn’t about chatting. It’s […]
Responsibility is significant. Aligned factors: the most disruptive feature of new technology is counter-intuitively NOT (or at least not only) the novel artefact, entity or system. It is the literally self-sustaining(!) discontinuity by and through which existing and persisting organisational or communications systems defensively lash themselves to the mast of strategic and communicative anachronisms. They […]
Even as we seek to comprehensively describe this apparently intractable enigma of experience, the descriptions by and through which we aspire to do so have begun to become active. There is much to say on the roles of generative technology in shaping our methods and paradigms of introspective discovery, but that is still waiting for […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
There is a significant degree of strategic complexity and regulatory chaos regarding engagements with, and navigation of, the generative turn as it applies to both cultural experience and organisational technology. It is a tectonic shift (and entropic drift) at the scale of a self-accelerating systemic revolution in communication invoked and sustained by the arrival of […]
Access to the high-dimensional complexity resident in machine learning models comes at a cost. It is not being discussed much in public discussions but the ability to interrogate these complex information systems appears to bring an inevitable loss of control over the outputs. Generative systems in particular are prone to this inverse riddle: the more […]
