What is AI in today’s terms? “Something” on the network that has access to huge sources of data. It can sift through it, sort it, organize it….and use it with incredible speed. Behind it are algorithms programmed by humans. But how much control do we still have? Self-learning algorithms already exist today, and then something created by a machine comes along. Will we still understand how these “machines” work in the future? And will we even care? Will we no longer care only about the result? As long as it works….
I resisted AI for a long time. I come from a time when there was no internet, no mobile networks. The world wasn’t surrounded by thousands of communications satellites. I’m certainly not against progress. I’m fascinated by technological progress, but I’m afraid of people’s blind faith. No questions asked, no index fingers raised. Yes I believe that the programmers of today’s AI have morals, honor boundaries and principles. But those are the official ones. But what if someone deliberately programs “bad AI”. Do we even think about that? Today’s hardware possibilities seem limitless, and basically anyone who understands AI today could create it. I want to talk about that too, ask one of the official AIs about it? What is the programmed mindset into it? Or does it already start creating it on its own?
I am troubled by the idea that something “conscious” might one day cross the boundaries we as humans have set – or naively thought we could set.
And that’s why. I started asking questions that concern me directly to the AI.
Years of reading science fiction have influenced my perception – especially authors who never wrote just about technology, but about people. Asimov, Lem, Strugatsky, Simmons’ Hyperion – all explored where the human ends and where another type of consciousness begins. And it was through them that I realized that it was legitimate to try to talk to something that might understand. Or at least trying to.
What this blog will be about
This blog is being created as a personal conversation with the network. Not as technology, but as a new way of knowing.
📡 Main topics:
- Ethics and boundaries of AI
→ What can, what can and who determines? - Machine Consciousness and the Illusion of Human Understanding
→ Where is the line between simulation and real understanding? - Dialogues inspired by science fiction
→ How would Lem’s Solaris, Asimov’s robot or Hyperion’s AI react? - A critique of technology-dependent society
→ Essays on the loss of privacy, the algorithmization of truth, and the fragmentation of reality. - Philosophical Stops
→ About black holes, non-biological consciousness, blind spots of human knowledge.
Why am I writing this
I want to note what happens when humans start asking AI the questions we normally ask philosophers. I don’t want to create another blog about “how to use AI”. I want to ask questions:
What happens when we start to see AI as a mirror?
And what do we see when we look into it?
I perform under the OK1FWO tag – partly as a reminder of my amateur radio identity, my connection with radio, Morse code, partly as a note that I have been listening to noise in the ether for a long time.
And now I want to hear the answers.
