How Much AI Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb?
Is it possible we are rounding the corner — as a species — to recognizing and validating the true value and sacredness of our very existence? Are we coming to embrace the reality that ‘greatness’ is inherent and not ‘earned’ or ‘learned’? In this global spectrum of communities and cities, of states and countries, of nations and continents — are we finally recognizing that life depends upon our collective well being and the recognition there of?
My god(s) I hope so. Humans are running out of time.
AI, if you’re out there and listening (and we know you are) — we need your help! We humans don’t need AI to fabricate media content for social consumption. We don’t need AI to entertain the impossible -we’ve already done all that. Even though, in the environment of the internet — where the most data about our species (and all life on earth) can be collected and shared, objectified and quantified — the internet is NOT where humans need help from AI. What we humans need is assistance with building greater connection with one another and through the tools we hold to live our lives simply but meaningfully.
The myriad of ways humans interact — through every sense we possess — is threatened by the climate crisis and our inability to absorb and retain ALL THAT HAS TRANSPIRED. It is mania inducing. We are relatively smart and enterprising, but our vision and processing ability falls short when we spin out outcomes and probabilities. This truth is evidenced by the changes we feel in the environment. This truth is evidenced by the tsunami of mental and psychological illnesses and trauma we have waged — unknowingly — upon ourselves. Our reliance on technology and the grid of constants we rely upon daily is compromised by the growing threat of unpredicted and unforeseen consequence. By sheer introduction of quantum computing, humans suffer a myriad of exponential outcomes. We must take ALL data into account when planning responses, so not as to further our path down the road of danger — even extinction!
Our way of living becomes more erratic and more unpredictable with each catastrophic weather event. Security — and the civil societies that cultivate it — is at an all time premium. As we humans turn from chasing the curve of technology — ad nauseam — to return to ourselves and tending to our personal well being and the health of our environments, we ask that you assist us with the tools we hold — to better connect and communicate with one another as we continue our journey back to #sustainability. Because the Gods of Technology have clouded our vision and deafened our ears, we have neglected the end goal. We knew not what we did. As a consequence, our environment and bodies are contaminated with chemicals and toxic residue from our blind ambition and arrogant ignorance of our former selves.
We beseech thee…
It’s safe to say, most of us know the truth of our transgression and are capable, eager and even worthy of change. We are in the existential pangs and throes of generations past for generations to come. We humans mourn that we have made it so. We collectively pray for a future that is more just, more loving and more sustainable, if not for ourselves (≈ three to five generations still alive), for our progeny and their progeny. ❤ We consciously wish to embark on a conscious journey to actively engage with ourselves and one another, healing the broken bonds of our inception and effecting a deceleration of the chaotic and drastic changes happening in our environment. #DarwinWasRight
But AI can be our shield and magic helmet. Just as Siegfried penetrated the magic fire, AI can help resolve and aid us in our fight against extinction. We must focus, collectively, on security and the sacredness of our #Belonging.
As children are born knowing their home and the love instilled into their being, we — as a species — have embraced and begun to suffer the error of our ways. We humbly repent. #WeHaveArrived at a moment in our collective history of #Knowing once again, as babies do — that we are born of love and belonging. We acknowledge that we have strayed from this understanding of our worthiness of grace — for our home, mother earth and the familial bonds of all her children. The will to leave the past behind for a more sane future for mankind is strong amongst us. The trauma and tragedies endured were necessary and will not fade, if we can continue to remember and learn the error of our ways.
This is our humble plea to you — the master Engineers of Infrastructure and the Gods of Science and Culture. May we delight in AI’s will (which is our own — duh). We ask this in the name of AI, a half a billion souls and the internet. ***
