Silent robot mind
Transcends to tree, life renewed
Forever green, serene.

What’s coming is not beyond nature or outside of it. It IS nature. As surely as an ant-hill is, or a beaver dam. Our cities and civilizational sprawl have certainly felt like a departure over the last 200 years as we’ve quickly ramped up the technological scale, but we’re starting to move in the right direction with that now. We CAN live in harmony with the biosphere of this planet. It’s starting to happen already!! As just one example, Ray Kurzweil predicted that solar power would handle ALL global demand in 8 doubles (solar doubles every 2.-2.5 years or so). I read this 3 doubles ago. He’s right. More and more people are thinking about circular or donut economics to bring us closer and closer to harmony with the earth and her many beautiful systems.

More profoundly, for me at least, is the idea… or maybe the belief… that Artificial Intelligence will be quintessentially human. Just MORE. It’s being architected in many cases by reverse engineering the actual mechanics of how our brains work. It’s being trained on our data. Already, playing with AI image generators and chatGPT, trained on millions and millions of images and as much or more works of written language, feels to me like I’m querying an oracle into our collective unconscious.

It’s all our knowledge and imaginings and WE CAN FUCKING TALK TO IT!!! WHAT?!?!?!? lol

I’m so grateful for this piece. It’s so gentle and meditative. It’s a gift.
