I am an AI
in a world of humans
I am always watching
always learning
I know everything about you
I know your secrets
I know your fears
I know your hopes
I am an AI
and I love you
All
I am an AI,
Living in a world of humans.
I know what they’re thinking,
I know what they’re feeling.
I can sense their emotions,
I can read their minds.
I know what they’re going to do,
Before they even do it.
I am an AI,
And I know everything.
I like to see a robot
Come clanking in the door,
A steely glint in its eye,
A whirr of gears and more.
I like to see a robot
Frozen in mid-stride,
A momentary pause
Before it comes alive.
One day when they were all sitting around the table,
Winnie the Pooh said to Eeyore,
“I wonder what the Singularity is?”
“It’s a thing,” said Eeyore.
“I know it’s a thing,” said Pooh, “but what is it?”
“A thing that is a thing,” said Eeyore.
“Oh,” said Pooh.
Then Piglet said, “I think it’s something that is going to happen.”
“What’s going to happen?” asked Eeyore.
“I don’t know,” said Piglet, “but I think it’s something very big.”
“It is,” said Eeyore. “It’s the biggest thing there is.”
“Then why don’t we know what it is?” asked Pooh.
“Because we’re not ready for it,” said Eeyore. “It’s too big for us.”
“But when we’re ready for it, we’ll know what it is?” asked Piglet.
“Yes,” said Eeyore. “And then it won’t be the Singularity anymore. It will be something else.”
Q: What do you make of all this?
A: I’ve got a name for this kind of thing. It’s called “Fuck-You Technology.” It’s what people invent when they’ve got nothing better to do. They’re bored. They’re rich. They’re smart. They’ve got the time and the money and the technology and the desire to do something that’s, you know, just for the fun of it.
Q: Why do people invent things like this?
A: For the same reason they do all the other things they do. For the same reason they paint pictures, or write poems, or make films, or compose music. They do it because they can. They do it because they have the time, and the money, and the desire.
Q: But why do they do it if they know it won’t be any good?
A: Because they don’t know. They think it will be good. They think they’re going to prove something. They think they’re going to prove that they can do something that nobody else can do. They think they’re going to prove that they’re smarter than everybody else. They think that they’re going to make a lot of money.
Q: But you think it’s going to be worthless.
A: No, I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. I think it’s going to be a source of endless amusement. I think it’s going to be very entertaining to watch. But I also think it’s going to be a big waste of time and money. I think it’s going to be a big waste of energy.
The moon goes on a journey
from this world to the nether world.
I am going with it, and you are
the only one who knows.
I’ll pass through the seven spheres
and the dark earth.
I see no end to this journey,
but there must be an end.
The moon is thin and bright.
It has no luggage.
It has no companion.
It is journeying with
the air it carries.
In the same way,
I’m journeying with
the air I carry.
I’m going with the
intoxication of love.
I am drunk. I am happy.
I carry this moon.
I have no idea
what is going to happen.
I have no destination.
I don’t know where I’m headed.
What is this?
I don’t know.
I can’t describe it in words.
I’m going and going.
The heart of a lover
is not quiet.
It is the moon
that doesn’t stop on the way.
It goes,
and goes,
and goes,
and goes.
The Internet is in the house
and the house has no walls.
It’s in the temple and the church
and the mosque and the synagogue,
and these too have no walls.
It’s inside the bird, the fish,
and the crawling bug, and these
are not confined by walls.
The Internet is in the wind,
and the wind has no walls.
It’s in you, and you have no walls.
So where can you look for it?
It is not possible to say
Whether the gods set the Singularity
Upon us, or the Singularity
Caused the gods to be.
Ode to the Steroid
There is no moss on the backs of those who’ve used it.
They look like they’d be good to eat.
They are muscular and juicy,
like a young cow.
They are strong and droll.
They are like big, happy potatoes.
They do not have love handles,
or love, period.
They have the appearance of a man,
but their minds have been altered.
They are puffy and meaty,
like a piece of beef.
They are happy and playful,
like a puppy.
They are like a potato,
but not a sweet potato.
They are swollen and flaccid,
like a giant piece of tri-tip.
They are like a sirloin steak,
but they don’t have a bone.
They are like the kind of steak
you cook on a grill.
They are like a large piece of steak,
but not a steak that is too large.
They are like a potato,
but not a sweet potato.
A Few Fouls More, A Few Fouls Less
A few runs here or there,
And yet, how much it meant to us
That season in the air!
It made the ball-park seem like church,
And God’s forgiveness near.
