#vendredilecture avec le finissage de deux livres en simultané: L’essai "Toutes les intelligences du Monde", de James Bridle et "Le Ministère du futur", de Kim Stanley Robinson. Lectures meta, des éléments se croisant dans les deux bouquins, le second étant même cité dans le premier.

Étrange bouquin que celui de Kim Stanley Robinson, entre le roman d’anticipation et l’essai prospectif…Une lecture intéressante et pas si pessimiste que cela. C’est aussi une très étrange déclaration d’amour au peuple Suisse. Je serais vraiment curieux de connaître le background derrière cet aspect du livre, s’il y en a un.

Il y a longtemps qu’on sait faire cela, si j’en crois ma récente (et très documentée) lecture de «Toutes les intelligences du monde», de James Bridle. Simplement, le recours à un système externe "analogique" était jusque-là nécessaire pour l’atteindre, comme avec Ernie:

C’est un sujet que je trouve passionnant mais je suis trop une bille en mathématiques pour bien comprendre.

We have known how to do this for a long time, if I am to believe my recent (and very well-documented) reading of James Bridle's "All the World's Intelligence". Simply put, until now, an external "analogue" system was needed to achieve this, as with Ernie.

I find this subject fascinating, but I'm too bad at maths to really understand it.

We’ve finally cracked how to make truly random numbers

From machine learning to voting, the workings of the world demand randomisation, but true sources of randomness are surprisingly hard to find. Now quantum mechanics has supplied the answer

"the financial system [is] a system that's so complex that no one particularly designed, that we're all just sort of wrangling with. And it has outcomes that no one intended and certainly no one planned for. And we live inside systems like that all of the time." @jamesbridle #JamesBridle #Podcast #Agency

"There's a very strange thing that happens with #advancedtech, particularly #networked technologies. They get hidden away behind the glass. They become hidden within themselves and we no longer have access to them.
But something equally extraordinary happens the other way around, which is that if you start to understand them a little bit, all of these #power relationships become incredibly clear and #readable, and can actually be addressed in new ways." #JamesBridle

"This talk by #JamesBridle was part of '#OtherMinds', a season of work exploring different kinds of #intelligence: animal, mechanical, collective. In September 2024, #Watershed shared projects that ask what it means to work with minds that are utterly unlike our own, and how 'AI' can be part of a wider conversation about intelligence, labour, and creativity."

Artist and writer James Bridle was unanimously awarded the biennial Architectural Theory Prize by the Schelling Architecture Foundation in June this year for their “outstanding contributions to architectural theory”.

But on Sunday, ahead of the awards ceremony scheduled for today, Bridle was informed the foundation’s committee would not award them with the prize because they had co-signed a call for a boycott of Israeli cultural institutions.

from The New Dark Age by #JamesBridle

" #Technology does not emerge from a vacuum. Rather, it is the reification of a particular set of beliefs and desires: the unconscious disposition of its creators."

"...if Euclid, Euler, or Gauss were working today, there's a good chance they would be working for one of the security agencies, and their discoveries would have disappeared into the secret library."

Qu'est-ce que l'intelligence ?

Pour l’artiste et chercheur britannique @jamesbridle, si les avancées et les risques de l’informatique sont le plus souvent exagérés, cet emballement pourrait cependant être une porte d’entrée pour qu’enfin l’on s’intéresse aux innombrables autres formes d’intelligence non humaines.

On entend tous les jours dans l’actualité parler d’Intelligence artificielle. On nous explique comment elle nous induit en erreur avec des images deep fake, comment elle va nous remplacer au travail, ou comment elle va liquider l’espèce humaine. Pour l’artiste et chercheur britannique James Bridle, si les avancées et les risques sont le plus souvent exagérés, cet emballement pourrait cependant être une porte d’entrée pour qu’enfin l’on s’intéresse aux innombrables autres formes d’intelligence non humaines.
