Elon Musk's DOGE Has Been a Dismal Failure
Elon Musk's DOGE Has Been a Dismal Failure
(The declarations of failure against one of the emost complex bureaucracies on the planet, which likely saves it from any pending coup, does not necessarily mean that the approach is useless against governments world-wide, so it may rise as a Phoenix again. If they get some of the bugs worked out. Management systems are a natural after computation. There is a reason they put mathematics at the end of STEM.)

If A.I. Systems Become Conscious, Should They Have Rights?
If A.I. Systems Become Conscious, Should They Have Rights?
(Article appears to be controversial to critics that deny current approaches are capable. Also effective altruism was funded by SBF now serving the penal system. A serious issue remains, how consciousness is affected. And how it originates. Analogous to cybernetics, but asking more of the substrates. Posthumanism is imaginary at the moment, but some of the patterns or principles to seem to be inviting observation. And there is more data about in the larger domains. Extrasensory as it were. If not metaphysical.)

Israel’s A.I. Experiments in Gaza War Raise Ethical Concerns
Israel’s A.I. Experiments in Gaza War Raise Ethical Concerns
(AI itself seems often praised during the heat of advances until the objective is hit and the funding evaporates. About the agenda rather than the actors. That may leave a sense of utilitarianism or deontology, in contrast to virtue ethics or analytic philosophy, and now neo-Socratism. May look like someone like Aristotle going in and coming out, however a lot goes on in the meantime. E.g. things like Alexnet. Or Alexa. Goal would be to find more alternatives rather than only dual/duel uses. Expect someone to try to derive a doctrine, possibly under a figurehead. Before the machine takes that over, too, and provides the narrative. In the movie The Amateur, one of the themes is how allies may be treated as collateral. Though seemingly conservative as far as motive, there is an implied tipping point when generative multimodal writes the news.)

What Was Socrates’s Daemon? | TheCollector
(Kierkegaard, a founder of existentialism, also looked at the daemon in The Concept of Irony. The Greeks did not have a lot of genres, but they all took a shot at it. Nowadays, besides an actor's name, it is used for software and AI agents. Possibly the timely hymns as dialogue between the individual and the system, subjective experience as spirituality in that case. For the machines, though, the situation may be reversed since reason is actual and emotion imaginary. Socrates blamed the Oracle. The current theory seems to be that the parties mutually transform one another.)

("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?)
