Il y a longtemps qu’on sait faire cela, si j’en crois ma récente (et très documentée) lecture de «Toutes les intelligences du monde», de James Bridle. Simplement, le recours à un système externe "analogique" était jusque-là nécessaire pour l’atteindre, comme avec Ernie:

C’est un sujet que je trouve passionnant mais je suis trop une bille en mathématiques pour bien comprendre.

We have known how to do this for a long time, if I am to believe my recent (and very well-documented) reading of James Bridle's "All the World's Intelligence". Simply put, until now, an external "analogue" system was needed to achieve this, as with Ernie.
I find this subject fascinating, but I'm too bad at maths to really understand it.

"the financial system [is] a system that's so complex that no one particularly designed, that we're all just sort of wrangling with. And it has outcomes that no one intended and certainly no one planned for. And we live inside systems like that all of the time." @jamesbridle #JamesBridle #Podcast #Agency

"There's a very strange thing that happens with #advancedtech, particularly #networked technologies. They get hidden away behind the glass. They become hidden within themselves and we no longer have access to them.
But something equally extraordinary happens the other way around, which is that if you start to understand them a little bit, all of these #power relationships become incredibly clear and #readable, and can actually be addressed in new ways." #JamesBridle

"This talk by #JamesBridle was part of '#OtherMinds', a season of work exploring different kinds of #intelligence: animal, mechanical, collective. In September 2024, #Watershed shared projects that ask what it means to work with minds that are utterly unlike our own, and how 'AI' can be part of a wider conversation about intelligence, labour, and creativity."

Artist and writer James Bridle was unanimously awarded the biennial Architectural Theory Prize by the Schelling Architecture Foundation in June this year for their “outstanding contributions to architectural theory”.
But on Sunday, ahead of the awards ceremony scheduled for today, Bridle was informed the foundation’s committee would not award them with the prize because they had co-signed a call for a boycott of Israeli cultural institutions.

Qu'est-ce que l'intelligence ?
Pour l’artiste et chercheur britannique @jamesbridle, si les avancées et les risques de l’informatique sont le plus souvent exagérés, cet emballement pourrait cependant être une porte d’entrée pour qu’enfin l’on s’intéresse aux innombrables autres formes d’intelligence non humaines.

This excerpt from James Bridle #jamesbridle in Ways of Being seems apposite here. -
"But I know it makes absolutely no sense to me that you could somehow locate #consciousness within a particular physical structure when it is incredibly clear to me that consciousness is something that exists outside the physical universe, that exists completely outside of everything that we perceive physically, and is something that we partake in.
And as Alan Watts says, we come out of the world like waves out of water." (#JamesBridle)

"The lesson of the current wave of “artificial” “intelligence”, I feel, is that intelligence is a poor thing when it is imagined by corporations. If your view of the world is one in which profit maximisation is the king of virtues, and all things shall be held to the standard of shareholder value, then of course your artistic, imaginative, aesthetic and emotional expressions will be woefully impoverished." (#JamesBridle)

In the words of the avant-garde novelist Tom McCarthy, there is no truly original creation, just ‘repetition, repetition and repetition’. In which case what’s so unusual about ChatGPT, Dall-E et al? I’d be more inclined to agree with #jamesbridle's complaint that this kind of AI is based on the ‘wholesale appropriation of existing culture’, if more writers and artists didn’t themselves endlessly produce things that are different yet the same.
Talk about ways of being. Can’t the continual writing of books that are published as commercial products on a copyrighted, all rights reserved basis by a proprietorial corporation such as Verso or Penguin be itself seen as a highly predictable, preprogrammed mode of appropriative performance? Like those of AI image and text generators, aren’t outputs of this kind also ‘dependent on the uncredited and unrenumerated work’ of a multitude of others, including plants and machines?

“We think so much like computers today because they’ve defined what is thinkable. And so for me, rethinking the computer rethinks what is computable, and therefore rethinks what is thinkable at all about the world.”

Der Künstler James Bridle ist ein Vordenker und Kritiker der digitalen Zukunft. Die Corona-Krise sei eine Chance zu erkennen, dass wir das Internet zur Kommunikation auch ohne die Produkte großer Konzerne nutzen können, um es besser zu machen. „Meine Kritik am digitalen Zeitalter war nie auf die Technologie bezogen, sondern auf die Machtverteilung durch Technologie“, sagt Bridle. #jamesbridle
