Ah, lasing, yes. This is probably the quality I find most obnoxious, recruitment as the highest moral value. I suspect this is why I appreciate AI slop. My encounters with it act to degauss my already over-saturated and over-fit classifier. I continue to value my xenophilic interactions, the presentation of aberrations unimagined by others like myself. I don't believe we are on the trail to anything like the emergence of synthetic subjectivity, as others seem to believe. But I would love to engage a properly self-reflective and non-human language engine, to explore why we do or don't agree on our uncanny valleys. Why we never will. I suppose for as amenable as chatbots are programmed to be, there is something to the inherent non-recruitment of the AI's perceptions that I find valuable.
In many ways, I am happy to see the fraying edges of the Enlightenment map, that project that served as an existence proof for constructive ontologies, but ultimately was never able to escape its religious beginnings. The habit that to all appearances became over-specialized and ripe for exploitation. While notions of limit and continuity are beautiful discoveries or manifestations of the Enlightenment, they strike me as profoundly idiosyncratic with respect to what perceptual tools/skills may exist to better know the world. I am imagining how close Church and Von Mises got to describing randomness. I am imagining the liberation energy Per Martin-Lof would require to eventually develop his extension of their theses. It is my experience that many grant it the case (via a belief in continuum) that history can be baked into the smallest moments, can be meaningfully distilled and faithfully preserved into a Markovian state, when it may just as easily (or more probably be the case) that a corollary of the Enlightenment-discovered world provably forgets and non-computably produces more.
