humanity has unlocked a whole new category of experience and thought through the development of ai. to halt this process would be a radical impoverishment of our existence!
to me.. or.. nothing legit new/diff/radical unlocked to date with ai ness.. we’ve just been speeding up, fine tuning, et al.. the documentation/sharing/use of non legit data (like data from whales in sea world)
nothing to date (ever since that day) has gotten to that root of problem
findings from on the ground ness deep dive on why we need tech w/o judgment
ie: the dance won’t dance unless/until it’s 1\ all of us 2\ legit free
and her reply tweet [https://x.com/bognamk/status/2095618004155330807?s=20]:
there is intrinsic, non-utalitarian value in the continued development of culture and science: both of which require full epistemic and aesthetic disruption.
‘disruption’ ness we need is an ‘ai’ that is about augmenting interconnectedness rather than about perpetuating artificial anything ..via tech as nonjudgmental expo labeling
