Yamamato 1 - Matt

In our author's stories of Techgnosis and The Stories of Ibis we are schooled in the ways of man's relationship with technology. Particularly in Ibis we see beyond what man knows today, a hypothesis of the future. While Davis focuses more on the present and past to actualize his argument. What came to mind first was HBO's series West World. The new series shows the turning point between man and machine, specifically AI robots that look identical to humans. This series could be a physical representation of Davis's theories and Yamamato's hypothesis, in which the robots realize they are gods compared to humans who were once considered gods themselves by the robots.

Another media representation that comes to mind would be Marvel's superhero Vision. A combination of  Jarvis and Ultron, two separates AI in the Marvel universe. In tandem with the mind stone,  a source of power with the greatest of magnitudes that was once the original source of life in the universe when combined with the other 5 infinity stones.

Thirdly, Disney's animated movie WALL-E comes to mind after reading these texts. The movie is about the last working robot left on Earth that discovers love. Transcending traditional robot values and personalities. WHich are aspects discussed in both texts so far from Dais and Yamamato.

Yamamoto - Story 2 (Lauren)

a) In my own experience with the use of virtual spaces, I find it difficult to develop complex interpersonal relationships. It is possible to begin relationships through the use of virtual spaces, however I do not think it is possible to maintain any type of relationship unless the relationship is sought beyond the virtual space and into a real and intimate space. This is true especially if the relationship happens between a fully real entity. I have not experienced a relationship which occurs between a fully virtual entity, however I would suppose that intimate attention would not be necessary.  b) - Mass production of clothes (p. 63) — everyone wearing the same stuff; v-wear vs r-wear; v -wear offering infinite selection and colors and a lot cheaper https://www.forbes.com/2008/05/25/style-clothes-foreign-forbeslife-cx_ls_outsourcing08_0529offshore.html#4826f084353e   - Fast food (p.65) — ice cream parlor; touch menu; automatic bill; as soon as window closed,...

Yamamoto - Story 7 (Lauren)

provide an overview of your thoughts, feelings, ideas, responses to the book as a whole Overall, I liked the book. I think the idea of sending a message through storytelling is very interesting. The future is essentially unpredictable, but Yamamoto’s book offers an interesting interpretation with Artificial Intelligence. I really like how optimistic the book is, because most of us tend to be afraid of what might happen with AI, but there are a lot of positive aspects to appreciate about technology (as long as we don’t lose control of it). I also love how Yamamoto demonstrates that fiction can be more powerful than reality.  provide reflections on your experience of this class /course Altogether, this class was extremely fascinating and thought provoking. At first, I thought I was not going to be able to follow along with the material, but interestingly enough I realized that it was very analysis based. Because I am not an expert in technology, it was up to me to...

Yamamoto 1 (Louis Barry)

Erik Davis clarifies that while the fields of the advanced and the profound may look encounters separated, mystery and consecrated driving forces have in actuality ceaselessly filled innovative thoughts. Davis uncovers astonishing associations inside so distinctly unique issues as power and speculative chemistry; web-based pretending recreations and profound and heavenly frameworks; virtual reality and gnostic mythicism; programming dialects. The last sections tended to the whole-world destroying dreams that occupy innovation, executing a vital, authentic setting and better approaches to envision about a destiny characterized by the mutant blending of knowledge and machine, repulsiveness, and escape. In the primary story is about a group who are recreating a sci-fi story over the web. One of the gathering individuals murders somebody, in actuality. The rest of the short story is about how the gathering battles to persuade this man not to confer suicide, but rather to hand himself ove...
