Notes

--> these are notes from 2008/2009 around the oracle and various

- the origin of software is in language(syntax + grammar) and theory is a script

- l'uomo attraversola parola si e' confuso

- SOUND = noise break, sottilissimo, lento

- video becomes performance: il video come performance e non il video che documenta la performance. real-time in camera: tensione senza che succeda un cazzo.

- incertezza (emozione; stato dell'anima; transizione; metafora)

- uncertain is not random, and random is not unpredictable

- la psichedelia si appoggia a quel punto della materia che e' incerto, e fa perno su questo spazio di indefinibilita' per ...

- vandalic code: cosa/come puo' essere un software vandalico che non sia spam?

- all the oracle project is political; what renders it art rather than a game is its critique of society

- sistema di scambio valore (denaro - gift - upload - symbolic value)

- software che parla con l'aldila' (cosa? quale? contatta un sistema di simboli)

- come funziona un oracolo? sistema di credenze | principio magico | livelli di linguaggio

INTUIZIONE CREATIVA

POTERE DI AVVERARE LA REALTA' --- INFLUENZA

- i molto cervelli ===> sistemi di pattern ripetuti

- l'incertezza riguarda l'uomo, la conoscenza

(no) Turing Bla

The oracle is about trust, trust in the machine the question is not "can machines think? but "can humans decide?"

the oracle does not think, the oracle knows.

why should we use a thinking entity to make decision we cannot/dont want to make?

human = logic gods = ?

the oracle is not logic. the oracle knows.

ontology --> what does it mean to think?

the oracle machine is not an AI project. neural networks = access to human knowledge interpretation - language

--

oracle access

critic knowledge

it is a matter of trust

no logic - no statistic - no random

---

game of symbols and translations between different fields of knowledge

--

basic prototype says 'yes' or 'no'.

daemon - software ---> machine

impercrutabilita'

more religious than logoc ---> faith

science -- magic

AI not interested in magic

superior entity but intrinsecally different

machiens are intrinsecally different from humans:

1_ honest = they do not lay to people and admit their errors if a machine makes a mistake, it will tell you humans tend to deny or hide mistakes.

turing completeness --- turing test

1. Arthur C. Clarke

when humans do not understand what technology is doing, that is magic.

it is the machinical identity that makes machines more close to supreme entities.

--- turing conf:

research games: K>B> Bowen "an approach to the study of decision processes"

implementing a solution social software --> software aiming at a social level amongst the people

SINGULARITY --> condition of the universe before the big bang

we have technological progress which does not go linear

you cannot predict after some time

black-hole --> event gets sucked

magic --> beyond comprehension

Douglas Hofstadter - Goedel Escher Bach an eternal Golden Braid.

machine --> overcome the problem

       --> resistance 

commodification of decision
