The Economist recently reported that American philosophy graduates now find work at higher rates than their computer science peers, and that leading AI laboratories are recruiting philosophers into senior roles -– not merely to sharpen a model's chains of reasoning, but to draft the documents, such as Google's published 'AI Principles', that are meant to govern how a system behaves.

The Philosopher

In my distilling processes, I frequently precipitated                              the phlegma of our earthball--its polar deserts, its Russian forests, its icebergs--and from the sediments extracted a beautiful by-earth,     a small satellite. If we extract and regulate the charms of this old world, we can form a delightful though minutely condensed world.

-Introduction to The Campaner Thal, 

by Jean Paul

Don't think about the technofascist data

centers. You can do nothing to stop progress.

The empire must do itself in. Forget about posthuman

Christian Zionism, it's just a fad in the long run. The coyotes go

much further back. The schmucks will tell you it began with them 

and nature, gnome sane

's just an invention. They got data control. Don't think about redemption,

you may as well piss up a rope and write a poem about it, 

like childhood. 

I got a feeling of the future, I see my teeth in the clouds, 

down below they murder the saguaros for a buffer zone and border wall and build a data farm with smart fences to keep the desert tortoise out. 

Life goes by fast. Don't even think about it.

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

-Raymond Carver

 Genocide on earth, Data Centers in Space, or, May We Feed the King.

Reading May We Feed The King I recall seeing two pickup trucks across the street with big flags on poles stuck in the holes of the bed that said something with King and R. said is that No Kings, but I said I think it's Kings Of America. It's really nothing to do with the book except for that word, king. I thought maybe I would start again, as I might not be getting it the first time. I can be a daydreaming reader.

 It doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican, or any other denomination, the only thing that matters now is whether you're Zionist or Anti-Zionist. Cats for peace.
