Now that we are finishing up with the final round of training, we thought this might be a good time to show you what the JS-R Sempitern 2050 is already able to do, using the 100 exabytes of pure data we got from the source brain’s pineal gland by means of the Weixiao Loop device (I still can’t believe it was the pineal gland all along!).
The gnostics would have thrived in today's social media (multi?)universe, but no personal God inside could save them when facing an enemy power with a unified ideology. (I think that was a pointe Elaine Pagels made in one of her books about the gnostics.)
IA is in the world with us now. It can create any kind of reality. Even "alternative reality".It makes us think of the nature of reality, truth and self. Before IA, writing was the great guardian of memory, truth, and self. The self does not survive without memory. However, memory cannot be monolithic. Each time we remember, we partly re-invent reality, we revisit, embellish it, change it. To remember is to create a fiction. Memories are more or less fictional. "Autofiction is all we've ever known"? yes, being aware of the fictional part of all our memories may help us understand the world better.
I love that this uses the first-person "I" to narrate it and is signed "JSR" at the end but is credited to the "Hinternet Editorial Board" up front. Got it!
I was one of those who found a million little pieces quite transformative and when I heard that he had used a lot of creative license it didn't bother me... too badly... Disappointing? Maybe. Still a great read, like this article.
Love this.
Whew!!!!! Okey-dokey. That put so much in perspective that I will now go lie down
