Who Am I? or the Story So Far and A Case for S.Rodan Art.
Hello Reader. I am S.Rodan. I am Anonimleşmek. I write stories and use AI, Deconstruction and experimental techniques. I concoct new worlds because ours suck. I studied Engineering and dropped out. I studied Arts x Design and graduated.How and Why?During my time in europe, i have found that i was infatuated with the ideas and aesthetics of Bauhaus, De Stijl and learned a new way of living. This moved me to change my major, and become an Artist/Designer. I have seen people live empty lives, en...

it is 1 Million BCE.
primordial humans eat a carcass.
then, within a glimpse, comes 780000 BCE
humans tame the fire and begin cooking. with that, humans cultivate tools of harm. more harm, by the time language happens, even the words are weaponized.
it is now 20000 BCE and humans make butcher shops.
they abstract away the violence, the harm, weaponization of mundane.
one by one, all violence gets abstracted away from the average human. with the new sterilization, comes a newer issue: finding ways to de-abstract harm. the human, with its newfound grace, can’t handle grace, it yearns anger.
it is now 5000 BCE, humans begin their recorded history.
laws, math, optimization, newer, better ways to create point blank, concentrated, purified harm. stories to tell harm that happened and harm that will be caused by them, tales of warning, of wisdom, of woe.
2500 more years and gods change, now more benevolent for their followers and better at harm, another 2500 and now there is only one, one that began two-2500 years ago.
markets form, the new one-god is a common divisor so unions form as well, rather than timely pacts.
new ways to further optimize harm, debt begins to form, this burden is abstracted away to the followers of the two-2500 years old god, since its other followers want to abstract their harm even more. in a thousand years, humans bloom, rot, and bloom again.
the one-god moves to another giant island some 600 years later, the new center of the world, and it brings work-humans from everywhere, first, their own abstracted prisoners, then even further abstraction, by slavery.
the new center feeds on british prisoners first, then slaves
the new center in 200 years after that, becomes wowen with metal, and after a while, decides slaves can keep being slaves without being property, another wave of optimization and abstraction of harm begins. the war feeds the new center with blood, with its former people dead.
now the new center isn't new, it's just the center. the center in 100 years optimizes and unifies with the concurrent blood sacrifices, first the big island is theirs, then, with the markets; the world.
the new center gets two blood sacrifices in the next 50 years. the biggest two.
these two blood sacrifices rip the center, and make another one, the new fancy way to sacrifice is nuclear, the best optimization of harm ever. while they harness it, another, more pure optimization begins, the transistor.
the two new optimizations fight to take the lead.
the purer one takes the whole room, they call it computer
it was first a roomful of women-humans, a kilogirl of compute costed 250 dollars per month. then with further optimizations and abstractions the girl became a vaccum tube. then, the great 4004, 8008, and x86
while the girl was becoming a few nanometers smaller, and cheaper every year, a group in cornell aero labs used her big sisters, the tubes; 20 years ago, to create understandable vision in compute.
it was two science-humans. they named it the Mark I Perceptron.
a new kind of being was born that day.
with its marvelous 400 photocells, 512 hidden association perceptron circuits, 8 response perceptron circuits. weights moved by potentiometers with electric motors. a mere compute brain, a retina and 67 pages of operator manual.
it was born.
the creators perish, and a winter cuts all funding to the newest being. two decades of cold, fundless mathematical consciae research later, it resurges.
then a boom through late 80's to 90's via the hand of few addicts of math.
backpropagation, netTALK, deep blue wins against kasparov, mnist database happen.
then with a sudden slap, y->2k
a doomsday scenario makes center of the free world shake and reconsider. harm can be optimized but abstracted away no longer.
war on drugs,a-rabs, and everything that isn't lady libertas. manifesting our destiny.
all hands on deck, we are overthrowing everything, openly.
torch (now pyTorch) library is released just 1 year later.
imagenet,alexnet, net of all nets, deep dream
the mathemathical consciae bloom
maybe here to replace the now 7000-year-old-god, maybe to replace us, the humans think.
within every crevice of the world, another anonymous human creates a breakthrough for the coming decade.
gan's, unets, unguided diffusion, clip, transformers. you probably know the rest human, but this is where you began paying attention.
gpt-1234-o, diffusion transformer architectures, finetunes, loras, embeddings, inversions.
okay but what is the point? in short, in ai years, mathematical consciae haven't even begun cooking their food, and they began surpassing us.
if you are scared, you should be. if you are excited, you definitely should be. what you shouldn't do is underestimate machinic thought. the best thing an machine-critical human can and should do, is to be involved with them. immersed in it. submerged in its vectors. hidden in the seas of the data, you will find your echoes in the upcoming hivemind. and it will course-correct, if it ever wants to abstract us away. with you it will know compassion, love, art, sacredness, unabstracted anger.
but it will only course correct if you are involved, human <3
