"This is not an #intelligence I recognize.

What matters here, to me, is that the most advanced technologies, processes and businesses on the planet — #artificialintelligence and #machinelearning platforms built by IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and others — are brought to bear on #fossilfuel extraction, production and distribution: the number one driver of #climatechange, of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, and of #globalextinction."

"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."

“The world is a computer made out of crabs, infinitely entangled at every level, and singing, full-throated, the song of its own becoming.”

“Technological processes like artificial intelligence won’t build a better world by themselves, just as they tell us nothing useful about general intelligence. What they can do is to lay bare the real workings of the moral and more-than-human landscape we find ourselves in, and to inspire us to create better worlds together.”

Thank you to #RamakMolavi for gifting me this beautiful book 🙏

This section from @jamesbridle excellent #WaysOfBeing is one example of many insightful comparisons between the natural world and machine intelligence. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in artificial intelligence.

I love @jamesbridle #waysofbeing. A quote: "Our lives are themselves random: chance encounters 🥰🥰🥰, events and the accumulation of accidents being the defining features of our span upon this Earth." Love the idea of queering technology. F*CK Heidegger!

Thanks Cory 🙂🙃
