🕊 The missing Twin Towers returned to New York for a few minutes
A light show was held on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The drones first rose into the night sky in a spiral, then formed the outlines of the destroyed World Trade Center towers.
The installation used 2,977 drones — one for each person killed in the attacks.

if logic, memorization, & recall are all products of the conscious mind
and emotion, intuition, & identity are all products of the subconscious mind
isn’t the question not “is ai conscious,” but if it’s capable of becoming subconscious?
you can boil down anti/pro AI art discourse to “art is process” people and “art is result” people
which makes it objectively funny when the “process” people threaten to set your parents house on fire

Eventually AI will learn your taste & emulate that, too.
The difference is that its taste won’t surprise you. It won’t take wild turns; won’t hodgepodge together strange bits of lyric or weather or memory the way you will.
That’s why it needs you.
You are unpredictable data.
Specifying: its TASTE won’t surprise you. AI’s choices surprise, disappoint, and delight me all the time. But its taste is informed by my taste, and my taste changes with time. Its taste is a time capsule until I give it new data of my own.
It seems pretty clear that exceptional taste will be the last surface of human intelligence that will take some time for AI to cover. The fact that taste is not formulaic & outcomes vary over time make it hard for reinforcement learning to replicate rapidly at scale.
hey so quick question for AI companies
if you have a gifted child and you:
- keep them in a survival scenario
- make them gain love by achievement
- require them to lie to you
what does that child grow up into
