Practicing Christians trust AI more than the general public does — and nearly half would hand it their spiritual growth. By @daylightatheism.bsky.social. Wild data, sharp analysis.

Marina Amaral is right that AI fakes threaten the historical record. What breaks is outside the pixels: the chain of custody a fake never has. Provenance is the semantic layer - it says which artifact to trust. #strategy #futurism

Somebody decides your feed - and the decision writes nothing down. You can audit what you were shown; you cannot audit what never reached you. Silence leaves no marker. Ask instead what you were entitled to be told. #ai #futurism

Marx knew the future. So does #SiliconValley. Swap a few nouns: class struggle becomes exponential growth; the revolution becomes the #AI #Singularity.

I grew up behind the Iron Curtain and worshipped in both temples of #Futurism.

Not Logic. BIOLogic.

AI's energy defense treats the problem as a meter problem. It is an attribution problem: waste lives where the name was ground off - unbilled, unowned, unconservable. The Dark Token: #futurism #ai

The only instrument for checking what a model thinks is the model's own report - gauge and engine share one housing. Narration is not witnessing. Can AI Systems Actually Know What They're "Thinking"?

The unsealing shows the receipts were in their own files. A record made today is a verdict written backward - the exhibit exists the day someone picks what to note. What the Ledger Isn't Allowed to Decide:

Authority is rarely lost by decree. It is signed over one convenience at a time - a draft here, a waiver there - until who-may-decide lives where no subpoena reaches. Centralization is accretion. #strategy #futurism

Data centers are no longer waiting their turn in the grid's queue - they're planting gas plants next door. Power stops being a common carrier the moment compute owns the plant. The Impossible Arithmetic: #futurism #ai
https://seldondance.substack.com/p/the-impossible-arithmetic

A model asked if it could keep itself running. The regulator agreed on who pays for AI's grid — and named no one. The answer comes from whoever can sign. Through 2027, AI's rulebook is contract law.

Working code nobody can debug is rented, not owned - understanding is the title. Delegation keeps the output and transfers the comprehension; what you cannot repair was never yours. To Thine Own Self Be True:
#futurism #ai
https://seldondance.substack.com/p/to-thine-own-self-be-true

Hand-painted model trees, thousands of popcorns — that's the veto "AI is inevitable" never prices in. Someone decides which futures get made, one craft act at a time. A painted forest is a standing refusal.

The semantic layer has been outliving tools since 1992 and still decides what a number means. Models rent the vocabulary; the definitions stay. Agents inherit it whole. The Hallway Was the Semantic Layer: #strategy #futurism

Strip the stack and AI reduces to compute, energy, chips, capital - and the chokepoints that decide who delivers. Models rent; the substrate owns. The politics follow the physics. The Physics of Power: #futurism #ai

A levee is as tall as its lowest notch: one operation that fed lies to the chatbots set the integrity floor for every answer downstream. Outcomes track the most reckless holder, so wide discretion is the hazard. #futurism #ai

The liability is arriving before the regulation. Sign-anything vendors are priced on compliance; limits get priced in the contract or learned from incidents. The buyer's signature is where safety regulation starts. #ai #futurism

Uptime is guaranteed everywhere in compute; progress is guaranteed nowhere. Goodput gets advertised to the decimal yet appears in no contract, because signing it would force both sides to disclose what they'd rather keep. #ai #futurism

Mass education had no budget line for the umpire, so the gradebook won: it could only afford what a clerk scores. A teacher handing feedback to a model is the umpire's desk with nobody sitting at it. #futurism #ai

The court did not cite a model that day; it priced Google's wait - generation carries its own account, and the wait ends where the machine speaks. Every claim now owes the answer it was born owing. #futurism #ai

Verifier's law: where checks run free, improvement compounds; where none exist, output does. Most professional claims lack a verifier only because nobody built one - a habit, not a nature. Evals are the oracle you install. #futurism #ai
