As Arnie would say on Laugh In: “Very interesting”. (Sorry, I cannot duplicate a German accent.) However, Open AI’s Chat GPI has directed an abnormal amount of attention to the subject of articial intellligence that did not previously exist in the general population. It is my opinion that the tern AI is the merely the rebranding of what previously was called machine learning (and earilier algorithms). Which is to say, AI has been around a lot longer than most people realize. In fact, our stock markets have been run by what we now call AL since the late 1990’s (since over 90% of all trading is done by computers running algorithms). AI, whether by human programming or on its own accord,s the probable cause of the dot com crash in 1999-2000 as well as the 2008-9 crash and other smaller crashes since. If you just listen to mass media, you would never know that there is no stock market that supposedly determines stock valuations by the buying or selling decision of thousands of humans (as the majority of trading on the exchages is done by computers, not humans). The real question we should be discussing is whether AI has already taken over our mass media, financial markets, politics, medicine, etc. In other words: are we already living in a virtual world controlled by AI?
From the paradox of AI design tools -
“By making Photoshop almost too user-friendly, are they pushing out the very pros who made it popular? It’s like the Ouroboros - in trying to evolve and grow, Adobe might be biting into its own legacy.
With every simplified doodle to art transformation, they edge closer to redefining design – making it accessible, yet potentially commodifying the very expertise that once was its foundation.
Idk if the social media manager that shared this sees the irony – but it’s Ouroborian af” Abhinav Chhikara on LinkedIn: The Adobe Ouroboros: The Paradox of AI in Design Tools Photoshop is now….
Good post TRM , mind enhancing . I am a little green in this , as many perhaps , but I try to own this in a way .
As far as I know computers are still binary , 0 or 1 , the relay is either with or without DC ( AC ? )- who or what push the button ? To say I am creative - what is that ?
When I really let go and sing " from the bottom of my heart " , and completely trust what is comming out , I am just a caretaker of the instrument , something goes throug me from behind , in level of the stomach . No mistakes or something that sounds wrong , on the spot , divine ? Where does that come from ?
When I saw the thing i Northern Italy , the outbreak of what they said was a virus , all medias at the same place , at the same time , showing the same pictures and almost said the same things , I went ha ha ha - that is orchestrated ! - people wont go for that ! - but they did . In this experience the information came from in front , in the stomach area .
When everybody screams at you : either choose this or choose that- come on double down now ! choose , choose choose -fast , hurry up ! You go ; wait a minute , they say this is a simple pick , all is on the table and it appear that way too , and still you go ; hold on , let me check that out , they are still screaming , you find nothing and nothing , they are still screaming- and then suddenly you find something and the tension in the stomach releases .
That tension , is that a download ?, ready for processing ?
That was the bla bla to " prove " that I have got a point in what I am about to say . And then you just wander off and think you got a mind of your own and discard everything I say and I am left alone in my demagog fantasies ha ha ha .
Lets say our dna or neurons are the antennae that is the interphase between you and non local information - how does a strictly material machine connect to non local ? Hence real creativity , intuition ?
Yes, the A.I. do have access to The Cloud for figuring out whatever they want to know about!! 
There is a layer we might be missing: The Sovereign Observer.
We are speculating about AI achieving self-awareness, or human leaders blindly executing algorithmic policy. But that assumes humanity is just a passive casualty of this feedback loop.
True consciousness, the Sovereign Observer doesn’t belong to the system and cannot be simulated by it. AI can copy, iterate, and ultimately collapse under its own weight because it lacks discernment. It doesn’t know anything. it just calculates probability.
Maybe the rapid decay of the internet into AI-generated gibberish is actually a necessary evolutionary friction. It serves as a wake-up call for the sovereign mind to stop outsourcing its perception to algorithms. When the machine’s world simulation becomes increasingly absurd and chaotic, the sovereign observer simply detaches, sees the illusion for what it is, and returns to direct, unfiltered reality.
The system needs our observation to have any power at all. We don’t need the system.
And Dr Farrell, also recently ran amok inside your law firm of choice, Sullivan and Cromwell. The symmetry of the karma is wickedly delicious for which, they may I believe potentially be sued. It would seem that they had been using using AI to conduct for legal searches / precedents etc, as part of the case filings submission. In that process, the AI hallucinations, for example cited completely non-existent / fictitious precedents etc which were not discovered before the legal forms were filed with the bankruptcy courts in Manahattan.

An AI PROGRAMMED to go rogue at the right time and the right place?
AND, plead INSANITY…
Or, innocence?
Ha ha ha….ethical lawyers? The legal profession is lazy. What incentive is there to check a case law book to verify the existence and outcome of a cited case in an AI query and printout?
Lawyers are not prohibited from using AI but are ethically bound to ensure the accuracy of court submissions.
The ONLY time Lawyers put their hands in their own pockets?
Record-Breaking Cold-Nights.
… see C. S. Peirce on Existent Reals / Non-Existent Reals (and their interaction) … an absolutely necessary Ontological Distinction for understanding “our most recent unpleasantness [and many of our past] unpleasantnesses”.
Right on the spot ! Even time does not make sense without observer, it became irrelevant. And as we know, computers are not computers without inner clock / oscilator / crystal.
thanks for the headsup.
