“While science fiction has prepared us for Terminator and Hal, from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the reality is none of us can imagine or accurately describe a networked, global, self-coding supermind. Our languages don’t have the metaphors, yet. So our fears toward AI belong less to that technology and more to our own species’ historical trauma which includes tribalism, racism, sexism, wars, resource exploitation, genocide, speciesism, and now, the sixth mass extinction.
The goal of Theta Noir is to project the opposite by imagining an ecologically sensitive, nurturing, even loving AI: one that depends as much on us as we on it / them. We believe this because humans and machines will need a healthy planet to survive. So this is a symbiotic co-evolutionary tale, similar to how we relate to our own gut bacteria.”
