I made this image for an article I’m writing called “Dominion Over the Machines” about how the SAG-AFTRA AI precedents (if ratified) may move things forward not just for actors, but for every human that may face non-humans doing their work.

Interesting times we’re in.

Standing in the rain, a robot cradles a human who knells and is screaming in distress as the robot holds them with either care or malice, apparently the robot in control. It is fraught and tense but also some care or regard seems to be happening between them as their fates are bound together.

Are you curious what's inside #machines?

I wanted to know what's inside an induction oven. By a stroke of luck, I now have access to lots of random #junk. So I cracked it open and looked at the insides!

Should I start a series of blog posts where I share what I found?

#M_Polany in “Life’s Irreducible Structure” (1968) points out that using deterministic #machines to explain “the physics of #life” is backward thinking, because machines are devised and built by humans to resemble organisms and to serve the purpose of their design, and can therefore only be a #biological, not a #physical analogy.

The organism is shown to be, like a machine, a system which works according to two different principles: its structure serves as a boundary condition harnessing the physical-chemical processes by which its organs perform their functions. Thus, this system may be called a system under dual control (emphasis mine). Morphogenesis, the process by which the #structure of living beings develops, can then be likened to the shaping of a machine which will act as a boundary for the laws of inanimate nature.

In the machine, our principal interest lay in the effects of the boundary conditions, while in an experimental setting, we are interested in the natural processes controlled by the boundaries.”

Or in other words, we are interested either in the control #rules of the machine or the physical #laws of causality that make the machine work.

“What it does is it sucks something from you,” Burton noted. “It takes something from your soul or psyche; that is very disturbing, especially if it has to do with you. It’s like a robot taking your humanity, your soul.”

The 20th century is said to have been the “age of #machines” because all explanations of how things work would end in some kind of computing or “information processing” by a known #mechanism.

Some people think that the 21st century will be the “age of #biology” because science seems starting to look at nature and the living #organism for inspiration about how things really work.

If this is true then #Computationalism must be one of the last remnants of the past century.

This #AI thing/thinking is starting to get on my nerves.
I actually have a broad #theory about this, and it actually is about intelligence.
Succinctly explaining:
1. #Intelligence is a resource;
2. There's a finite amount of that #resource available on Eath;
3. There's a #competition for that resource;
4. The #moreofus exist, the more difficult is to get a fair amount of the resource.
5. And then many start to #believe #machines are/may be intelligent.

Will your #BrainMachine #interface get #bricked, #hacked, or be used to compel you to obey your "#employer" or #government?

Yes, to all, and worse. Bricked and hacked #bio #devices already exist, for example.

Though not near, this is the kind of bio-#tech melding I believe will ultimately be forced upon most, if not everyone (but the wealthy overlords).

There will be classes and types of hybrids, as in #BraveNewWorld.

Please Take 2 Minutes To Protect New York Voters

New York elections are at a dangerous crossroads. New #voting #machines, called "all-in-one" and "universal-use", are attempting to flood the state.

These systems do not allow you to vote with a pen and paper. We want to have the option to vote with a pen & paper, the way we have for years. It lowers costs, keeps wait times down, and is preferred by security & auditing experts.

Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) are always available for those who want to use them.

Today, Monday July 10th we begin again sending requests to the NY State Board of Elections asking for a #public #comment #period with a fully accessible public comment hearing for all new voting machines. We want to have a say on this important issue.

Hello everyone, everywhere, all at once! :mastodon: :pixelfed: :blobcat: I'll be writing Zines (Master Zines 😎) and Web Comics ((Master Comics 😎) from now on.

My Zines will be focused on nerdy computer stuff, from bits to Quamputers (Quantum Computers :P), history to mystery of machines, programming security and many more. :computerfairies: :calculator:

My Web Comics will be based on quirky frailties of day to day life, society, computers, work, dark humor, and sometimes all combined. 😈🏘️🖥️🎃

I like to draw zines by hand and digitize them later..

A great art has the power to ignite the dormant embers of our souls, painting vibrant hues of inspiration and touching the chords of our hearts with brushstrokes of eternal beauty.

And this is just the beginning. Within the first step lies the radiant spark of endless possibilities, lighting the path towards dreams yet unseen, and unlocking the door to a universe of untapped potential.

If you haven't checked already, here are my three samples (they are a bit clunky for now, but they'll be better) of the 'Basic C Concepts' series zines.

Why don't perpetual motion machines ever work?

Netta Schramm

Perpetual motion machines — devices that can do work indefinitely without any external energy source — have captured many inventors’ imaginations because they could totally transform our relationship with energy.

There’s just one problem: they don’t work.
Why not? Netta Schramm describes the pitfalls of perpetual motion machines.
