  • My Sense of Self was Particularly Intangible

    I wrote that long ago, as the *trinity tree* no longer exists. Or, rather, it exists in a different form, that of stump. My associative mind reminds me of when I was a child, or during my imagination of being a child, as I am uncertain I was ever a child, during which I would create origami platonic forms, such as rectangular prisms, pyramids and such. I'd gaze at my creations for a time and then crush them much like the piece of music entitled *drtič* will eventually crush every living being that hears it. I was fascinated by the concept of something existing first in one *form* and then in another, altogether different *form*. Truly, it was the same *object*, but at a splendidly different state in its existence.

    Though we all know that not a single cell in our body existed even eight years prior to now, as we self-regenerate, conceptually, I am the same *object* that existed eight years ago. I am now, however, in an altogether different *form*, and especially psychologically. My self-regenerated neural structure did not self-regenerate in a selfsame manner, vole.

  • The extrinsic problems of AI [sic]

    First, given how energy is undercosted and has catastrophic climate externalities, any new invention that uses energy is problematic. (And the dataset gathering part not only leaks poison to the climate, it also offloads costs to innocent server admins getting scraped. No matter how "undercosted" energy is, that all adds up when you're being robbed. I personally haven't had any problems with being scraped, but I've been hearing how these issues have been more and more overwhelming and disruptive and taxing on my fellow admins.)

    Second, given how we have an increasing wealth gap driven by ownership of means of production, any new invention that’s a powerful means of production risks further centralizing and concentrating that ownership and further driving the growing wealth gaps.
