Guest article by Dr. #Bernd #Stein: "The #thing in itself"

In a new guest article by Dr. Bernd Stein, who has often published his excellent guest articles on my site, this time it is about the infamous "thing in itself", as one might find it in the introduction of the Aristotelian categories in scholasticism, the subsequent #universalism controversy (which I had already examined in an older essay "The Paradigm Shift") or in modern epistemology, which is essentially shaped by Immanuel #Kant's dualistic philosophy.

In this respect, Bernd's essay fits perfectly into the previous portfolio of this site, as in his very readable text he deals with the possible #epistemological limits of "physics" or rather physics. In particular, he addresses the supposed "intrinsic properties of an object" in order to show that, in his view, there are only interactions that may also apply to a special degree to "quantum objects".

Dear God, I thought we were swirling down the #epistemological toilet *before* all the #LLM crap hit the scene.

This is really, really, really bad.

Can prosecutors convince a jury Trump means every bonkers thing he says?

In the #Fedi it wouldn’t come to my mind to explain the #universe (and the #epistemological process of acquiring knowledge about it) to people asking about the #bigbang, because my take is somewhat opinionated, and for some reason I don't feel free in the Fedi to say anything potentially controversial. On #Nostr I didn't hesitate: https://iris.to/note169m4axneyqtrn87e0yrljacff30engd7z99ep0x5udcdmz93sywq766nt7 . I don't know why. But it's getting harder for me to say anything at all in the Fedi. (I really tried, but something just doesn’t feel right.)

#AI Art is Remix - The DJ’s of Pictures

My new piece on how we can develop an #epistemological framework for AI art that fits our cultural sensibilities by revisiting the academic discussion sampling, hip-hop and techno musics sparked in the 1990’s through early 2000’s.

Changes in mass production technologies always prompt changes in societies. We will need new ideas and new legislation, and the literature to quote from largely exists.

AI art is a remix : The DJ’s of pictures

AI art is a remix, and we are experiencing an epistemological crisis about it because we don’t have a culturally sanctioned status for the remix as art. Digital and electronic cultures, dance music…

AI art is a #remix.

We’re experiencing the throes of a #epistemological #crisis because we don’t have culturally sanctioned place for it.

DJ’s, techno music, festival art, light shows, they have never fit the current #art paradigm.

Here comes #AI, the #DJ of pictures.

Reclaiming Neurofuturism: The identity problem - Emergent Divergence

Identity is of importance to most people. It's how we describe and define our experiences and relationships with the wider environment. Some may argue that it is how we relate ourselves to the world, I would argue that it is the visible surface of deep metaphysical structures within our conscious being. The rise of social

at least some of our established# beliefs about the world are absolutely #certain, so they can be legitimately called "#facts".
