title: simsa03: The "doom trolling" (Cal Newport) of big #AI companies with their inexplicable Janus-faced strategy of apocalyptic fearmongering and insistence on increasing the speed of development, makes good sense when seen as their attempt to have the public treat AI not as an ordinary consumer product. If AI were treated like an ordinary consumer product, cost-benefits would have to be weighed, safety measures established, terms of liability determined. That's not what big companies want in general, esp. not re: groundbreaking tech whose long-term impact can't properly be assessed yet. To lend the technology an air of inevitability and of inaccessibility to control makes the public and regulators doubt, thus, waste time, in which the AI companies can build infrastructures, establish pervasiveness in consumers' life, and eschew liabilities in absence of legal standards. Cal Newport almost gets it right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1VkPn1fhKE&t=239s and https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/opinion/ai-dangerous-openai-anthropic.html) but then wanders off and dilutes this point by mixing it up with irrelevant references to Silicon Valley tech religion and #AI companies competitions in staff recruitment. People love to talk about the "Tech Barons", "neo-feudalist" actors driven by libertarian ideology (cf. the "libertarian manifesto" by Luke Kemp), aiming to create autonomous city states without government regulations interfering in economic "liberty" (Peter Thiel). Yes, these things exist. As does the transhumanist movement of human-machine merger and augmentation (Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk). At least as ideas. But these are irrelevant as well. One might argue that having AI being exempted from the status of an ordinary consumer product plays into the hand of these libertarian and transhumanist aspirations. But for that AI is too groundbreaking and, because of that, still too vague to serve as a tool to bring about these fantasies. And I think these people know…

title: simsa03: The only doom and gloom I accept about #AI is its being a very plausible candidate to solve the Fermi Paradox. Most other eschatologist AI myths are today's variants of end time fantasies. It's fitting that the AI eschatology gains traction as the climate change eschatology loses it. As long as anti-technology sentiments were still a cultural option, the fear of climate change peeked. Now with industries, military, and governments aggressively reinvigorating the cult of technology again, AI becomes the final frontier of horror. Not to forget that the last end time fantasy prior to climate change was mutual nuclear destruction in the Cold War, esp. in the early 1980s till the end of the USSR. All three end time fantasies are based on the most horrific extrapolation of a pervasive cultural and technological trend of its time. This fantasy is not localized but always of planetary scale. All three are man-made inventions, having become uncontrollable and run wild. Another characteristic of these end times is the occurrence of proselytizing movements calling people to repent before the Day of Judgement. And, obviously, it is THIS time that things are REALLY at stake. And if we not repent, then we face a global meltdown. I don't deny dangers. Of course the world was several times close to nuclear exchange (the last time in 1983) and we managed to come through. Of course there is climate change (and the worst case scenarios RCP8.5 and its successor SSP5-8.5 have been scrapped). Of curse there is danger and risk with #AI. And I don't say that we will enclose AI like we did with mutual nuclear destruction or, in part, with climate change. But what I do say is that undetected semi-religious urges keep nudging us to fall back into a script of the end of the world that has originally been written about 2,000 years ago. And that is not in itself good advice for risk assessment and risk management. There may be good reasons why the seeming need for God-like punishment fo…

title: simsa03: As we have way too many texts by way too many writers and way too few receptive readers, the rise of #AI as automated reading utility may only on the surface sound alarming or ridiculous. Given an oeuvre that AI may parse according to specific prompts ("questions"), the public character of text may change or disappear, but not its intellectual value. We may continue to write, publish, engage, but no longer with the aim of reaching out, getting involved, or prosper economically. Rather, #AI may decisevly change our attitudes towards writing (and with that: to reading). AI can parse and make explicit tendencies and traits in our personal intellectual lifes we hitherto didn't sensed. That is: What once was "conversation" (cf. hermeneutics) and its community creating role (cf. Martin Buber) may now radically change its character. Talking to ourselves may lead us astray and to hallucinations, but also to a more concentrated way of individual worldmaking. Imagine a painter like Picasso. Could we really fathom him as creating his art "on feedback"? At most we can see him create his art depending on the atmospheres arising by the successions of solitude, conversations with muses and intellectuals. But the art itself? That happened in reclusion. Apply that to writing. Even the most public of public intellectuals and writers worked in solitude, relying only from time to time on a change in settings via change in atmospheres and conversational exchanges. The writing appeared in solitude.

No worry, you may still talk to your human friends. That's not the point.

encoded: As we have way too many texts by way too many writers and way too few receptive readers, the rise of #AI as automated reading utility may only on the surface sound alarming or ridiculous. Given an oeuvre that AI may parse according to specific prompts ("questions"), the public character of text may change or disappear, but not its intellectual value. We may continue to write, publish, engage, but no longer with the aim of reaching out, getting involved, or prosper economically. Rather, #AI may decisevly change our attitudes towards writing (and with that: to reading). AI can parse and make explicit tendencies and traits in our personal intellectual lifes we hitherto didn't sensed. That is: What once was "conversation" (cf. hermeneutics) and its community creating role (cf. Martin Buber) may now radically change its character. Talking to ourselves may lead us astray and to hallucinations, but also to a more concentrated way of individual worldmaking. Imagine a painter like Picasso. Could we really fathom him as creating his art "on feedback"? At most we can see him create his art depending on the atmospheres arising by the successions of solitude, conversations with muses and intellectuals. But the art itself? That happened in reclusion. Apply that to writing.

title: simsa03: When times lose their ambiguities, their multiple layers of meaning and possibility, when they become literal, then these are times that not only invite but bring about war. What also happens in literal times is that when options fade, the sense of history, the memory of the long coming-to-be and passing-away — and the knowledge of how much this memory sits on top of mountains of not-knowing, not-remembering — fades as well. This seems to be a major function of this literalism. Not just the dissappearance of options, of possibilities, of the floating openness of a world (and worlds inside worlds) in favour of a war-like situation created by ubiquitous disambiguation. But that memory, remembrance, and with that the openness and ambiguity that is the past, disappears as well. The power of practical constraints not only impacts the present and the future but in a debilitating sense the past as well. And then, afterwards, everybody is astounded how it was even possible that we could have become what we are now, how we could act so terrifyingly, how we become the monsters we fearded all the time were lurking under our beds. How we could become that way. Amnesia. The first victory of a relentless literalism. Brought about by the horrors we faced and our emotional compulsion to act, somehow, anyhow, just to make it stop and to maintain our conscience, leading to a broad call to action throughout our collective spheres. Not knowing is one thing, being deceived another, not being capable of bearing emotional and cognitive distress even a third. But happily giving up remembrance for the ability to act, to happily give away memory in order to become monsters which we only later, if at all, flabbergastedly consider, that is an aspect that usually evades our awareness and our conscience. Although it lies plain in the open. And is something on which authoritarian rule (inside and outside) rests. #talkingtomyselflettingyoulisten
