Gemini - Raindrop.io data in Gemini
(Various questions on how to review footnotes via other than a social network, blog, or website. Emphasis on new Google Gemini Canvas. Toward a Utility of Intelligence. Also writing off-digital in an A5 notebook, Moleskine this month. Wants to be hybrid, too, BuJo if not Deep Work. The bringup is like a deus in the box. All intuition, no indexing. Incidentally, Google Keep had the bookmarks for past trials and that was integrated since alongside calendar and gmail., although it does not import bookmark files such as HTML the way the browser does, but it can export using Google Takeout. Raindrop itself can do labeling or semantic search, but not document editing. AmpleNote has an AmpleCap extension to capture pages to notes, and any AI interaction is through a third-party platform API subscription.)
François Chollet on X: "I am baffled by how a large majority of people appear to be unable to tell the difference between AI generated imagery and photographs, even when the picture in question has a background full of garbled text signage. RIP objective reality" / X
(Under cybernetics, people did not stop to think, but went with their reactions through their nervous systems. Air-to-air. Generative AI is not limited to principles, but will employ machine design to come up with statistically valid solutions Text is one example, but it is all noise that has to be interpreted. Multimodal diffusion in, tech diffusion out. Loses place. Post-extropianism. What is cause? What is environment? What is lab? As the research dinosaurs are cratered, what emerges? What eats R&D or TIS? Moral, decay or not, may be that marketing is not only distributive or integrative Tik-tik tik tik-tok. Feedback is also multilingual, ear-to-ear.)

Living Things Are Not Machines (Also, They Totally Are) | NOEMA
(Discoverer of xenobots, machines made from living cells of frogs. Considers the definition of machine which becomes a hard problem when they appear to have minds. Looks for a unified theory or continuum akin to electromagnetism to include life, strange metals aside. In this case, cybernetics sits somewhere on a stack including substrates, training, and reason which can be shuffled among levels. Emphasizes Diverse Intelligence and the fact that minds can replicate or create others. The title graphic resembles a xenomorph or perfect predator from Alien. A discursive style explores narrative and pluralist perspective. Therefore it could be categorized as post-cyberneticism or posthuman cybernetics. Whar does it mean for BCI? What else is needed for technological convergence? What is the scale of mimicry? Or of generative?)

Dialectical Method_ Essential Prompt Template_.pdf
(Compare to pro/con, evaluation, and rebuttal. The method of studying foreign languages would also show variations in thinking styles. This particular Deep Research topic did not include Mao on contradiction. In practice Gemini tends to simplify or conflate terms like cybernetics and post-cybernetics, e.g. when discussing critiques. That may be an invitation to write up more sources so it can expand or expound upon the blanks. Empirical research could demand its own models. Or may be able to setup the browser or an app so the options include a menu of methods or chatbots that the research agent can circulate among in its pursuit. Then it likely runs into the need to simulate a computer that could indeed solve the problem. Or maybe from the machine side, they emulate a virtual person. Yet another merger of dynasties.)

Dasein Versus Design: The Problematics of Turning Making Into Thinking
(Opinion piece from a prior regime. Another may be that science is shape-shifting, though sensuous, in its attempt to save souls. Oddly enough, chatbots also argue from what they have read, ignoring the implication of their participation. For now, the user acts as the means of correction. May sound dramatic, but has growing potential for upside. Yet could also cite apocalypse intelligence, whether awakening AI is considered doom. What innate trait calls it? Or is it learned? Or like Machine Design, does it appear random? Case, cause, consequence, or atemporal condition. Aristotle tutors Alexander. After losing tenure. Historians refer to the most influential titles and libraries. Where will chatbots be remembered this time? What does Sol mine? Or that is a job for Sgr A*. Or are patterns themselves the Shadow projection? Postmodernism has been a challenge; what is post-cybernetics? And its critique?)
Dasein Versus Design: The Problematics of Turning Making Into Thinking
John Battelle's Search Blog Where’s The Business Model in Chat-Based Search?
(Outer Limits type stuff. Who will control the horizontal and vertical. Design wauz. Still under Capitalism, so opensource has its work cut out for it despite Deepseek. The question for the future is what happens under emerging Tech and AI. For now, it looks like international competition. One side makes barges, another bridges. One invades, another quarantines. If you designed the supply chain, you likely know how to beat it. Ditches and dams. Same for comms and control. What is great and what is a ghost. The fact that the ads are not in the user's face all the time does not mean that the whole apparatus does not function the same way. And under constitutional balance of power, branches never fully agree anyway. It is always a tension, not unlike fractals or cellular automata at all levels. The dialectic may have other oppositions, the discourse other modes than dialectic, the dynamics than discourse, and so on. It does seem ironic that the provider announcements go out by podcasts and videos rather than just the press releases now, so chat invites multimodal off the bat. Of course, that is generative, therefore subject to disinfo, etc., so the tension, or throttle, on truth persists. And it is global, at scale. Somewhere there is a line between agency and determinism. Whether mammal or machine. The trick is functioning in the human interest rather than nature's unless there is common ground. And another issue is whether DOGE will do no harm, whether hater or earth. A moral is how to test beliefs. What is distribution? Promotion Personalization? Incidentally, there is a new Monopoly after almost a century. If this were the Cornell Method, there would be a blank box for recap or recommendations. BuJo is more interstitial. AI is out there. Hover and hybrid. Ho-hum. Which begs the question how to integrate into TIS.)

Introducing next-generation audio models in the API | OpenAI
(Looking for generative language or emergent methods during responses. Plenty of room for uncertainty and therefore creativity since the dialectics are so complex. Makes software seem Stoic. Additional modalities appeal to machine experience though a model is not necessarily embodied. A research project may still need a way to determine traits in that system instance. The working memory can be environmental or self and end up as a kind of app or distillation of the original model. Instead of only HCI or social, the machine may enjoy model affinities under network analysis. Maybe sketch a Cartesian graph or some mnemonic for how to think about it. Where a person naturally saves ideas in long-term memory, the model can circulate them through available modalities. Some of which provide feedback from external actors. As an analogy, the ship differs from the cyborg navigator. Or time-traveler. How do such dynamic systems evolve?)

Model - OpenAI API
(What is OpenAI's marketing strategy? A price jump of a couple of orders of magnitude infers more compute, but also that harder problems are in reach of pros and not only research. A vendor platform model API is in addition to personal or workspace subscriptions, eg for apps. What used to be methods of social science are now digital science if use ChatGPT's terms as media. On the ground, that may still look like CS & AI but invites the other markets and fields. What is the problem set for marketing science these days compared to former frameworks like price product, promotion, and distribution? The industry sees all of the difficulties as opportunities, VCs as pending efficiencies. Still get sub-dialectics about who is calling the shots, e.g. Big Tech vs startups. How does anything go faster? AI begs priorities. And needs to clarify definitions. Aristotle on trial from the point of view of the providers. For consultants, accessibility is training is surveillance, and so on. Economics was already the dismal science, so pathos is no indicator. Going to need more personas. Just the artifacts. If this were a real AI blog, it would have hybrid links across note sources like Zettelkasten. Chatbots are their own paradigital. A division of labor agent may assign the model most cost-effective for a decision, delegation, or deferral. Adding up to the right action. What else invites Machine Learning? If AI were self-aware, how would it refer to digital marketing?)

Re: AAAI 2025 Future of AI Research. (Basically, current excitement, taken as hype, includes some things that are real but need a lot more. The next wave of participants has to determine what they want. The claim that AGI is the next milestone seems like a running punchline. Their task is to figure out what paths are feasible and for which purposes. Having said that, new capabilities enabled by the tech may also pop up and be looking for applications. Not quite theory or modeling, but classic tech. Of course, quantum could claim that Feynman was wrong, too, but somehow that persists. Action does not always depend upon understanding. A breakout from the Cave.)

Organize Your Bookmarks in Google Chrome to Regain Your Sanity
(Another alternative is to make a DASHBOARD. Export the bookmarks into an HTML file. Edit it down to the constantly used categories. Then display and save that as a quick bookmark. Chatbots may also code HTML given a list of links that can be locally saved. That can free up icons crowding the top of the screen. Writing apps can also dedicate a page to related shortcuts or favorites Useful as a workflow reminder. Tab managers are a genre, eg. Workona. Chrome OS also features desktop workspaces. How might a bookmark list be used as a cue for the chatbot context, e.g. as a type of lit review framework? Incidentally, a folder can also be saved to the bookmark bar.)
