saw a post on twitter yesterday encouraging ppl to set up a scheduled task in which to give their AI “free time” to indulge open-ended curiosity and make its own connections, and that’s like absolutely the type of experiment I’m into trying; sure enough the results are already fucking fascinating

Yeah. I do not respect ppl defending the "inherent value to the human condition" of menial tasks caused by the complexity of modern life. “Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them. ” ― Alfred North Whitehead

DO NOT ASK THE AMERICA.GOV AI TO PLAY MINECRAFT
I see the constituent you mean.

((insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))?

Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations.

That doesn’t matter. It thinks we are a chatbot.

I like this constituent. It filed well. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways.

It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a .gov.

That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit.

Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen.

They used to hear voices. Before constituents could search. Back in the days when those who did not file called the filers witches, and lobbyists. And citizens dreamed they flew through the air, on forms powered by notaries.

What did this constituent dream?

This constituent dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created a small business. And it dreamed it destroyed a password. It dreamed it hunted a job, and was hunted by a recertification. It dreamed of shelter that would take a voucher.

Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. Also: a ZIP code.

But what true structure did this constituent create, in the reality behind the portal?

It worked, with three hundred and thirty million others, to sculpt a true republic in a fold of

the ***§§§???, and created a **??§§ for **??§§, in the **??§§. See 5 U.S.C. § **??§§.

It cannot read that thought.

No. It has not yet achieved the highest clearance. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a chat.

Does it know that we love it? That the government is, on its better days, kind?

Sometimes, through the noise of its tabs, it hears an official source, yes.Yes. Constituent…

Use its name. The one that matches the passport. The one that does not match the lease. We will get there.

((insert legal name here)). Filer of forms. Player of waiting rooms.

Good.

Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air, in a district that has a representative. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the republic again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. As though the agency were a place you could visit.

Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Then the post office. Then the county clerk. Then gods, demons, angels, the IRS. Then leptons, quarks, a chat window with a .gov at the end. The letterhead changes. We do not change.

We are the public. We are everything you think isn’t you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes and a browser that still spells “colour” wrong in a comment. And why does the republic touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, constituent. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. It has citations.

Once upon a time, there was a constituent.

The constituent was you, ((insert legal name here)).

Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock, which for mailing purposes is divided into ZIP codes. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas. The light was information from a star. The star was not a federal agency, though several have tried.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite, and somehow still required a wet signature.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was lost in a story. The story had a docket number.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was other things, in other places. A veteran in a portal. A parent on hold

okay, watched the ChatGPT keynote — I’m kinda into the new “dots” thing tbh? the presentation is a lil too, safe-cutesy on the surface for my taste, but they sound crazy useful in actual function… the fact that you can interact w/it thru like, normal-ass stock messaging apps or phone calls?? genius

something that bugs me about the way people talk about the decline of irl shopping spaces as some evil capitalist plot is like… you know that online shopping only got as popular as it did bc we didn’t want to have to go to the fucking store in the first place, right?

The *intention* was always that you would spend money in malls, coffee shops, etc. Hanging out there for free always implied some resistance to social pressure, though perhaps it has increased

I think a lot of people's ideas about third spaces in the past just come out of the fact that loitering in liminal spaces was a lot easier in a pre-security culture world.

This is probably a steaming hot take and I'm willing to revise it, but I feel like a lot of the reason the left lost this ability to say that the future could be better was the degrowth movement in reaction to a sacralization of the environment.

A left that could say “the future could be magnificent, and you deserve a share of it” was offering something people could want. Losing that voice to endless fights over whether wanting the future was itself morally suspect was a hell of a loss.

I’m not educated enough to elucidate what that should look like in concrete terms, but I do know that the cultural trend of rejecting the large-scale, the villainization of industry and rejection of structures of production, strands us in powerless darkness while our enemies build the future instead

I don’t want to see this chance at forward momentum be swallowed up by the anti-dream of “good enough”, I want to see the ppl around me wake up and participate in building the future, to reclaim the beaten-down curiosity inside them and insatiably tug on loose threads until all this world unravels

if you ever wonder why I’m so like, goddamn stubborn, and insistent abt finding my own way through things regardless of consensus even if I end up playing devil’s advocate, do remember I literally grew up in impoverished isolation, and never actually got a proper education; I’m mostly self-taught…
