#DER https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/distributed-energy-resources

Is IBM trying to distance itself from its sordid past, or is this just the patronising work of its marketing? Consider a parallel distributed network of processors weighted by adaptive heuristics, give it a name such as Watson even though it cannot marry Claude. Then consider a jelly fish that reproduces asexually. Suppose it is immortal by reflexive replication of abstract equivalences ground on set theoretical mathematics, it is still captive to the limits of its resources given what it can process. As an idea, it is not even immortal. No matter Gödel’s incompleteness results, models are captive to the adaptive heuristics of the processes’ manifold and not otherwise. That which constitutes the manifold of the dialectic principle (The Republic) is the foundation of its categories. It is not a model but that which transcends any transcendental idea such as that which denies the perception of what is, so severing reason from the cognition of sensations: the model of an object like DER, so not the object but the perception of that which is other than what is required to comprehend it! #Ai #IPTheft #FakePower #AiModels #AiIP #AiGods #AiPersonhood #AiScam #AiDelusions #FascistAi #CorporateAi #RunAmokAi #AiPhilosophy #AiDialectic #AntiRealism #Realism #Philosophy

What Are Distributed Energy Resources (DER)? | IBM

Distributed energy resources, or DER, are small-scale energy systems that power a nearby location. DER can be connected to electric grids or isolated.

If I remember right, in the Anomalous Subsurface Environment setting, cleric spells are granted specifically by the "orbital gods", though I can't remember for sure it it is clearly defined that they are AI satellites or something else.

Also c.f. Litany of the Long Sun, where most (though definitely not all) the gods are the uploaded personalities of folks who built the generation ship it is based in.
