Simulating Characters
The notion that we must forever tether ourselves to the simulation of characters to extract meaning from some grand, elusive cognitive theory reeks of primitive superstition, like insisting that geometry is nothing without the spectacle of a spinning cube on a flickering screen. It’s the same old song and dance—plugging in variables, winding up the…

They have ascended from their status as difficult, inaccessible tomes to become something more insidious: the Turing Test of the human mind.…

St Anselm
Dig this, man. Anselm, this medieval code-joekey, riffs on the existence of the Big Guy in the Sky with this twisted logic circuit. His pitch? We can imagine the ultimate mainframe, the biggest, baddest AI ever, right? He says, the ultimate super-computer, God, by its very definition, gotta be the most maxed-out mainframe we can…

It lures you in with flickering neon signs of “growth” and “profit,” promising a utopia built on infinite consumption. But the roach motel only has one exit: a bottomless pit of inequality. The invisible hand of the market?…
