("I've been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel." Radar had been a classic metaphor for the artifact and activity around knowledge of the prior century. AI appeared to yield to CAD like a tat and the dotcom period featured literature around a formalized Design Information Space combining mathematics, computation, visualization, and databases. That included detection, diagnostics, decisions, discussions, etc. TIS was a sort of successor for the systems on the ground that were not part of the web or cloud yet and had to tolerate a lot of differing positions in R&D. Industry is a heavyweight among the sectors again. And perspectives vary by continent. If you had to pick a domain name for this time, what might it be?)

(Contrast with the news. Resistance is hardening, e.g. the new actors versus the ex-government. Between all the branches. Post-trunk. The next interface is not unlike Terminator vision. As a symbol of redemption and all. "Tosca is not for everyone." Still waiting on Replicant versus Xenomorph. Or sort of begging the question for the individual's views of self including conscious embodied, ideal, historical, pasta, futures, writing, in relation to, and so on. Is integration, if not alignment, still the objective? Is there another order?)

(Was able to attach PDFs, Markdown, and CSV. Did not like HTML. Compared to Gemini in Google Workspace, Grok sometimes goes out to the web also while Thinking. Did fail to reply when given a lengthy prompt which made it iterate, and only changed the observations the first couple of times before repeating and dropping out. Another time it just said the brief request was unbounded and asked for rephrase. When asked a concise list of suggestions, it created another spit screen window editor like Canvas does. Conclusion subtitled based on sentiment, Beyond a Wasted Universe. Downloaded to Markdown:

Ten Suggestions for the Future Direction of Test Information Space (TIS)

  1. Integration with Advanced AI for Posthuman Simulation

    • Use AI to simulate posthuman entities or societies, exploring cybernetic thought and consciousness.
  2. Cybernetic Augmentation Labs

    • Create virtual labs for experimenting with cybernetic enhancements like neural implants or sensory upgrades.
  3. Repository for Posthuman Artifacts

    • Archive digital artifacts from posthuman civilizations, including technology, philosophy, and art.
  4. STEM Philosophy Simulations

    • Host interactive simulations on STEM’s philosophical questions, like AI ethics or consciousness.
  5. Immersive VR for Posthuman Experience

    • Develop VR environments to experience posthuman cybernetics, such as augmented senses or hybrid bodies.
  6. Global Collaborative Research Hub

    • Foster collaboration among researchers, philosophers, and technologists on posthuman cybernetics.
  7. Ethical and Philosophical Debate Forums

    • Provide forums to debate the ethics of posthuman cybernetics, such as rights for cybernetic beings.
  8. Educational Tools for Complex Concepts

    • Offer interactive tools to demystify STEM philosophy and posthuman cybernetics for a broader audience.
  9. Artistic Canvas for Posthuman Themes

    • Enable artists to explore posthuman aesthetics through evolving digital art or AI-human collaborations.
  1. Speculative Futures Design Lab

    • Allow users to design speculative futures shaped by posthuman cybernetics, from utopias to cautionary tales.

[Of course, other dialectics might cast this as inner versus outer, or defining the starting point compared to what is outside. Identities are tricky. Grok did remind early on that Eliza wass a critique of cybernetics. xAI/? ])

"For the first time, these models can integrate images directly into their chain of thought. They don’t just see an image—they think with it. This unlocks a new class of problem-solving that blends visual and textual reasoning, reflected in their state-of-the-art performance across multimodal benchmarks."
