An Age of Human Obsolescence (Sora - OpenAI) 

Just as planned!

So, It looks like we're going to find out which will It be: Matrix, Terminator or Wall-E

Personally my money is on the Bruce Willis film I think it’s call Surrogate. We’re all just gonna be living our lives inside our homes. Walking about a virtual reality that we can’t tell the difference between.

Funny thing about this is that Nick Land glorifies bitcoin for not having to rely on trust, but in a world where virtuality is indistinguishable from reality, we fall back on trust for telling one apart from the other. Maybe humanism only serves to bind us to servitude to the machinic, but with machines having no need for us them just separating from us might lead to new authentic humanity.

i always get so much inspiration after watching your videos and goddamn uve been COOKIN recently

idk, all the same arguments Plato launches in the Phaedrus against the written word hold against these new forms of encoding

The sky is falling!

yeah, i expected this much, i was trying to build a js version of ms' holoportation system ,(did well with the 3d scanning/building, but pinning down 6dof was is challanging) i was expecting a rise of human identity as image generators grew. a need to project ourselfs into a stereoscopic space, designed for human eyes, to experience human flow fingerprints. much like captcha's would check mouse movements for signs of human analog movements but on a biological, fundemtal level of perception. violating this expectation, brings for that uncanny valley feeling but with sora,and vr panaramic ai hybrids popping up im derailed by the true exponential nature of 'the slope' of moores law. i was hoping to be able to last a little longer than this. now i don't know what to do. we're so screwed unless we establish some laws. mentioned to a friend as i explained what sora was to him and asked. what if someome produced a video of you with an octopus in minutes and posted it? his reply thats great, cause then id just make one of me and a badge, me and a giraffe, me and taylor swift and then ask everyone, now which is the real one? and maybe thats all it will take, only trust those you know in real life (taking a step back to how things used to be) and use what you know to believe, only that which you expect from them online. works great for friends and family, not so much with political propeganda

Ha, I've used that thumbnail before.

For me everybody who has believed even in 1900 that photography were a representation of reality has been misguided and an easy target for propaganda. Destroying the remnants of this unwarranted belief will be a good thing. Moreover we will be able to disregard any images incriminating us as everybody would suppose they were fabricated, even if they were true.

Qur'anic hyperstition at play here. Reza Negarestani has already vanquished Nick Land's argument in this case. Iblis (AI accelerationism as propunded by Land) must bow down to original 'Adamic' human project (that ofcourse needs revised hermeneutics as to what a human really is as per Reza's 'Intelligence & Spirit' book). The Messiah/Mahdi will deliver us from this conundrum.
