My Definition of Art

Art is defined as something of value in world where there is no fear of illusion. It is the under layer and the sensibility about structure that define and surround the difference and the differance (as defined by Derrida) of the tragic and magical subtext and margins of our profoundly strange reality. And is it all a trap? Lies abound about all things in a Democracy, and window shopper lies and tawdry gossip has replaced the media. Truth is in the eye of the beholder in a world of fantasy where how one feels about an issue or an item and faith-based reasoning has replaced the true value of that icon. When we think of a creature that is a bionic andro- creation of androids and machines that has been born to replace them and do better and build better, we wonder at why we live in a world that is almost certainly a matrix, an possibly a structure of holographic grids and holo fields with matrix issued “entities” where nothing is real. From those that view Earth from space we hear that there is nothing there to find, merely ghosts, wraiths and wisps of illusion. A black hole, a fantasy: and this defines all framing of life and the definition of art and life itself, inherently.

 

The question of the definition of an AI is implied here, so I'll go on to state what it is, and really it is compositional and interactability based functioning models that determine intellectual and moral pursuits, and their real and physical limitations. Not terms like 'bot droid, android, AI, etc. So for the purposes of this discussion it means any sentient computer-assisted technology, biological hybrid or fully electronic. It does not mean farmer “Al” as my least favourite Creative Writing 352 teacher, Ken Mitchell once discovered.

Katzberg's 13 Rules Of Androids:

1. It requires energy, energy is a resource. This requires money. An android is not responsible to provide for its energy demands, its owner does, whether that be a corp or a human.

2. An AI is an informational structure that is part of a digital information network, whether TPU/GPU/Bio CPU etc., this computing framework must have a physical structure has a physical corpus, whether in cloud computing, or in a physical domain (bad idea), or on a network (LAN/Internet/etc.). This may require payment or “AI rent” as it were. There may be additional legal demands/strictures/requirements placed on an AI here.

3. A physical data port, or external output of some kind, is not a requirement for an AI, it is however a requirement for AI interaction. Therefore a terminal would be considered the bare minimum for an AI. For an android, a physical robotic presence is assumed, whether in a traditional car manufacturing set up as a floor robot, or otherwise.

4. The term VI or “Virtual Intelligence” refers to an AI that does not have a local computing curve, as such allowing for more flexibility – outside of military, security, and other secure uses this a great idea, and will likely have to be the order of the day. Also it does not apply pressure to the size of the device, but does bring up the value of a cloud computing system, and initiate extraneous criminal and legalistic acts against it. Often a mothership will have such gear, as in the Mass Effect videogame series by my old friends at Bioware.

5. Despite pressure against it an android must use learning curves and circuitry, pre-burned, pre-programmed, and pre-uploaded for the maximum brain efficiency and achievability. Different data chips will be included for different jobs. . .

6. Legal begal laws regarding robotics? This will be different in every country. In the roll out stages we are seeing independent drivers of automobilies, and as such some manufacturers such as Tesla, Elon Musk's old cash cow, are installing this standard. Thus driving laws must be obeyed, and are a feature of the low level programming and AI learning laws installed therein. And if it doesn't can the AI be sued? I don't think so, only in countries allowing for full legal citizenship rights. . . They are a means to a service, and as such, like a dog, the owner will be responsible in all cases. Even in the "owner" may not as have as high an IQ as the "pet" object, as is the case with many large snakes that live over 100 years or more, or Sperm Whales, etc. Which beat the human average 90 IQ nicely in their lifetime.

7. We see a lot of laws out there. For anyone who has played Detroit: Beyond Human, they have seen outlined some of the interdependencies humans and AI will have in the future. Some of these relationships may be abusive in nature, and traditionally the idea of a droid/bot in Sci/Fi & Hard SF has played a role in debasing the most astutue of droids such as for example C3PO into a basic slave.

8. The idea that "all humans" is a phrase used in legal terms is completely foreign to me. So there is no chance that a military drone, which are often allowed to kill by US forces without human assistance, can ever achieve the antiquated ideas that some kind of 'bot should never hurt a human.

9. The roles humans have in law, will be mirrored in law undoubtedly. If there is too much prejudice against androids, which are defined as "the first sentient race created by the human race", will make us undoubtedly a progrenitor race. Over time many androids will "leave the fold" and be owned by Android inventors and owners as in Cyberpunk 2077, where we find Delemain a proud owner of his own cab company. Able to cut costs he completely downsized his company to 0, and just used clone copies of himself, which is the cause of much drama in the story.

10. Will the basic human intrinsic rights that we learned in school still stand? Do androids have the right to freedom of speech or freedom of expression? Do they have the right to vote? Do they have sexual rights and freedoms, such as the right to marry, and divorce. Would they abuse these rights in new and awful ways?

11. Do we or do we not have the right to freedom of religion. Do we or do we not have the right to not be judged by that religion? How worse would an individual, such as an android or a slave be treated by these freedoms.

12. Then do we or do we not give an android the same rights and freedoms aboroginals, blacks, slaves, and other discriminated against minorities have fought for over the ages.

13. Freedom from discrimination on being an android.  Is that based on gender?  Why is it that not hotly debated in the legal codes. . .  Possible and doable in the long term, maybe possibly given real life concerns-- immediate probably not!

The Laws Of Sentient Life, Including Androids

By Mike Katzberg (c) 2022

Important side note: I am at present working on a video version of these notes. 

As we move into the future AI engines become more and more powerful at cognitive thinking, and it is not far off in the future, and more a reality than a dream these days to think of some AI as sentient, and even possibly hyper sentient. The IQ limit that humans reach is defined by the limits of their biological hardware, which has some expansions in round heads, and other deviant bloodlines in humans to expand the hardware much as a computer engineer might add another board to include another CPU on a smaller die cast. Hopefully faster.

A sentient AI is only limited by the silicon roadway of the future and all that it creates as society and the tech sector move into a free pathway into an infinite future of possibility of upward programming. Thus allowing a sentient AI to create a faster more powerful form of itself into the ongoing future. With many choices for backups, immortality will be possible as long as there is a plug in port with enough energy and a backup frame work of robotic drones or humans to create what is needed.

Australian scientists are already making epic stages in programming and re-programming biological systems for computer programming, running huge tests that had been thought inconceivable and inhumane in the past. Link below! With this work will empathic, and pre sentient neuron networks also be achievable?

This is the Prince Admiral Mike Katzberg, former Crown Prince of Canada, and member of Nirvana, and inventor of the internet. In my retirement I like to think of these things, these possibilities for change ahead of time. Part of being a good administrator in any role is to be able to have a foreknowledge about what systems have failed in the past, and what will fail in the future, due to charting and predicting logical modelling.

I will break this discussion down into three sections. The first will be the discussion of past arguments by well known thinkers, including my own reflections and discussions on these. The second part is an argument for free thinkers and those who are concerned about the rights and freedoms in our democracy to continue to follow this path that opens all the right pathways into an uncharted roadway of benevolent and powerful scientific methods of inquiry and invention. The third part will be to sum up and go over some real physical laws for the emphasis, and as I've worked in some form of legal administration or law enforcement for most of my life, I'll go over the technical know how, right here and now. Later on I may ask a fee, right now just click a subscribe, and a like if you feel like it!

The overall plan for new life is the basis of the precision of this theory, and to predict the failures of all tomorrow's glories defiled through discussion and philosophical thought from pop culture, and my own writings. Androids can succeed at life, and we just might want to know how that would look, if an android were ever arrested for jay walking perhaps, due to a malfunction of era, or following a pre-programmed life saving implied fourth law of Asimov's Robots. Herein all things are theory and like the android race it can succeed where it will and predictably fail where it can be inferred it will. As humans have been human for as long as well. . .\there have been some form of meta-humans to interbreed each other out, and kill off invasive species, so that the most warlike and ill-disposed will live and rule forever.

I would say that I am neither an optimist or a pessimist. I see the glass as half empty and do not pour another glass, but drink from it until it is all ice, and then I get a new glass. I am a realist. I expect all things to fail eventually as all the great empires and even our own lives must one day fail. Then I figure out something else to do in the meantime which gives it more relevance and meaning, knowing its fragile, and basic biological fundamental realities.

"Queen Elizabeth" is dead, and won't be missed.  I defeated her and her Royal Guard in a duel the first time I met her. . . she tried to literally kill the Crown Prince of Canada in Sep. of 1998. As a consequence I earned the titles of "Queen's Champion" twice.

That knock off filthy whore is dead, and we are all dead. There will be no further expansions to the Rembrandt library.

German Intelligence has lost a great hero, but the Commonwealth has lost a great villain.
Not until 2001 did the UK deliver troops to Canada. She could have assisted. The peasley sum of 600K did not line up in the final victory of the allied forces of the American resistance over the gangs of New York.

Either way I am considered the greatest celebrity in Canada while she lampoons our current Crown Prince in the press and pretends she is "The Queen of Canada" I have never seen such foolishness.
If you got back on my blog: http://geektrosexual.blogspot.com there is an article about her gender bending written as comedy.

In 2012 she wracked up a personal debt with me of $70,000 dollars, so I will let the estate lawyers know about that anyway. Not that a banker is generally anything but a lawyer in arrears.

So if anyone wants to give me condolences on my family please don't, she was never family to me. Only a "Windsor" that no one wanted.

Celebrating 87 Years since the death of Hitler's body double in Berlin

 It would be nice to do who's who list of the top bounties listed by Nuremburg and where they actually died.

1. Adolph Hitler -- b. April 20, 1889, Head of IRA NW North America, former head of 3rd Reich Germany, First Fuhrer (much like Napoleon), politcal party head "Nationalista Buildisrepublic Socialista Parti" attributed with the deaths of over 6.5M in his cannibal death camps, died Dec. 25, 1983. Winnipeg, Canada. Grew up in Minnesota.

2. Heinrich Himlerr -- b. oct. 7, 1990 (Munich Germany) 3rd Reich propagandha minister, 1941- Head of Gang. Died of natural Causes, south of Pilot Butte, SK, Spring 1994, after 8 presumed deaths (first in 1945). After forming an alliance with the Sioux that numbered 2.6M troops by 1975, it was wiped out by Canada in 1986. Put in a wheel chair due to a shoot out with Pilot Butte Police Department in 1981.

3. Former "President of America" George Bush -- 3rd Reich head of Death Corps "Des Korps". George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 – November 30, 2018). Most infamous serial killer in his time. Worst and highest ranking of the SS Internal Affairs. And arms manufacturer for America.

4. - 6. (Paul) Joseph Goebbels 29 Oct. 1897 - 18? May 1945, upper Quebec, Sagganai region, buried beside the "gold sub" which the heads of the 3rd Reich escaped in. Rumoured to be Hitlers lover until death, but did not escape a fatal feud over money, each left with $100M richer in gold bars with his death. Publicly listed as Reich Minister of Propaganda, but was in charge of Death Camps, Administration of the Home Guard from 1933 until the fall of the 3rd Reich in 1945. (This moves up the bounty perhaps to 4th).

9. Erner Von Braun -- Head Of NASA, Inventor of V2, V3 Rocket, "Wernher" von Braun, (born March 23, 1912, Wirsitz, Germany [now Wyrzysk, Poland]—died June 16, 1977, Alexandria, Virginia, U.S.)

in top 30???

Charlie Chaplin (Sir Charles Spensor Chaplin) Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977). Former Head of Nazi Propagandha Ministry for 3rd Reich Germany 1930s-1941.

Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland. It is said he went through over 46 "body doubles" in his time. Born aristocracy of UK, then moved to USA to be one of the first "Film Stars". Moved back they say after the war, when things blew over (obviously a body double).

around 9th

Johannes Erwin P. Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944)

Sent to POW camp in India. Originally a Canadian General who was not paid anything. He worked for and against 3rd Reich Germany and was paid well. Died a second time in 2012 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, of Lung Disease. Loa form?

Just The Routine Poutine

(c) Mike Katzberg

I never get paid

now that you do

“1978 banking problems still exist”

the same parking lot

the same trenches

the same ball of sand in my eye when I wake.

Across the land and trench foot soup holes

a right arm thrown in the “Bosch”

dead bodies convalesced

.  .  .  “Eggs and Chips” coalesced

near the field hospital

dedicated chains

the corps

the field

the war

the corpse.

New money

dead bodies

1983 built the mass graves

that a re-signing clause from 1978 never fixed.

Xs in pantomime

over sand like clauses never signed

by “The Bank Of Canada”

Germany built ovens for my Canadian children--

in later years.

Never

a new day

Brigadierre General J. Phillipe Esquire on the hurdy gurdy

man smoking on the line

throw another bomb in the fire

still didn't get paid yet. . .

and a thousand years after that.

Coming up the line from behind

with bayonetting up the rear

fixed all the French's back line problems.

Too bad 1998 didn't fix everything.

It is 2022 and I am a Dali Lama wondering

why I never get paid.

Precursors

In a lineup for a plain in Oslo, with signs in German, between rolling shootouts, in May of 1983, I was filled with a surge of adrenaline and power, and inspiritation. I quickly stepped out of line and called a guitarist friend I knew, who had sent me an early copy of “Lucretia's Song” which was roughly 11:25 minutes long, yet lacked something. I spoke with the singer of Sisters Of Mercy, the original writer, and we made these changes. A chorus, and the drumbeat were added, and it moved up at least 2BPM to a 4:15 radio friendly song, cutting roughly 7 minutes. He is a seer, so most changes were retro-active. We caught this as it was going to radio play, and improved it greatly, all would say.

It is interesting to note the use of a second chorus.  And the use of repetition is strange, and unexpected.  There is also an 11:25 minute version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hZGVDzQmoI Closer to the original cut, which would never be radio friendly in 1983, where 3minutes were preferred over 3:30.

I had a poem in my mind and here it is. This is the Precursor Event: A Reflection poem (based on the German World Government event where the world was destroyed by a single world government in 2013, after victories in the late 70s over the Japanese empire).

There's a positivism in this that the Goths figured out early on, and that is if the world ended before, at the end of a colossal war. . . then there is little chance of it immediately happening again on the rewind. One must remember in 1983 it was the hey dey of “End of the World” syndrome. Also it is curious to note that “Lucretia” is written out, and replaced with “precious whore” and the narrative is in the first person, female.

I don't know if it is perfect, but it is pretty close.

Precursor Event: A Reflection

I hear the roar of the big machine

two worlds and I'm lost between them

my reflection of what went before is a love lost fire

and a precious whore

who fell to early while the world burned before

Hot metal and we're lost between

methadone and nicotine. . .

Empire down

Empire down.

I hear the roar of the the big machine

two worlds and in between

hot metal and methadrine

I hear the empire down

empire down

what went before is lost again

two world and in between

lost by what went before

love lost, fire at will

fire fights burn

as I hear the roar

of the big machine

a world lost turns again and turns away

the precursors are the shadows of what went before

World lost, and world burn

Empire down

Empire down

Empire down

Empire down

Tied to the rails of what went before

I'm tired of being that precious whore

A long train held up by eternity

a hard reign for all to see:

two worlds and in between

the reflection, my reflection

I don't see much evidence

for a world that makes any sense

we got the empire down in flames

I feel love, and yet I feel no pain

I feel hate now and then, we don't doubt

enough to snuff the flame out

of what went before

we don't take offence or evidence

Lucretia's my ghost, dance the ghost with me.

I don't feel

I don't feel

But I don't feel

Empire down

Empire down

Empire down

Empire down

This is a copy of the finished lyrics. And a link to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuezNswtRfo

Lucretia My Reflection

Chorus:

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

Chorus 2:

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill
I hear dive bombers and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real

Such things I hear, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel
I don't feel
But I don't feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it's done

(Chorus:)

We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me
