Fibers

Image
Despite committing to consistent production of sentimentalism, I feel the weight of it lace over my vision--- fine silver webs yearning to obstruct my reality. In the evening they jostle against the lunar effulgence. Yes, they are impalpable like the creatures of the night. When I am at once born unto the world, I carry these fibers of influence with me. They help me discern boundaries, embellish or degrade appearances, distort truths from untruths, restrain me from kindling fleeting sensations.

Psyche

Image
 Mourn Penelope, mourn Sita, mourn Mary--- mourn all ardent faiths The derelict cathedral of the human psyche  is bound to glimmer in reverence  in the face of futility and dismay  Foreboding prophets and their fallacious tales  an Armageddon of the youths, brightest of the civilization  blood pouring from every pore, dressed in all white a purging of all innocence--- to enjoy our grotesque nights 

Infusion

Image
Infusion Yesterday I dreamed of some Shutter Island-esque scene. I was preparing a big bag of IV fluid, then setting the bag upon a tall shelf. Then I took the infusion set, the butterfly-wing kind I had like when I was young, and inserted into my left wrist's blue veins. Up to this point, I did every action automatically.  Then I felt the kick, but then my vision suffered and I can't find the needle head. No matter how hard I tried to take it out, I can't. I then woke up clawing at my wrist, which cramped for two minutes longer after I am fully conscious. 

Glorious Summer

Image
I don't think I've experienced true loneliness in my life. Loneliness, to me, is defined as separation from human interactions and a true devotion to being separated from social connections. I here use "devotion" because it is difficult to remove oneself from a heavy onset of social interactions in the modern age.  Sitting alone in an empty house that is neither my own nor staying for a long time, I am preoccupied with the idea that I am alone. But I am not — I am in Berkeley, situated in one of the nation's crime capitals. Three blocks down I will see a man who is combatting the extremities of living.  I wonder if the majority of my adult life will be accompanied with the concept of being alone. I wonder if there is a day when I accept my fate as an individual, and not an age, a role, an occupation or task, a means to another's ambition. Valueless is the individual now.  The skies are deeper, the minds sharper. I suppose there is no practical use of my collec...

Assurance

  Assurance, does it serve for eons to come? This great blue embraces me When it all goes wrong Do I loath indolence, or do I loath inconsistency?

Catharsis

Image
A sole light strip down the eerie elevator, the buzzing noise from the source persists as it was not a shelter from the permeating summer. He and I, we are not acquaintances. His infiltration was wordless, timeless, and artless — even if the steel surfaces morph into mirrors, the sentiments across his brows were not known. The lights continue to flicker in the enclosed chamber, mocking the episodic nature of his happiness. Who understands you better than I?  The descension begins, likening the motion of hearts sinking. Seldom are people plagued by the silence, but hear its echoes from the depth of the society's wallows! It does not triumph the quivering earth below, but whose destination is it? Three lovers, three deaths, and now three hundreds meters down. Measured footsteps trace into the frightening night, wisps follow the accelerated movement. When you resurfaces from this world within a world, your name would be carved upon a stone.  The ascension begins in the same eleva...

Distillation Article

Image
  There are a couple of questions I want to answer in my distillation:  What are some terms that are essential for a successful distillation?  How is Paul Christiano organizing his article?  What is the Humans vs. chimps “fast” take-off argument?  What is “the AGI will be a side effect” argument?   What is the “Understanding” is discontinuous argument? What are some terms that are essential for a successful distillation? Before distilling, I would like to define some technical terms that may be beneficial for gaining the most from my article.  Artificial intelligence (AI) systems— are developing at a qualitative rate. There are three types of AI: narrow AI (ANI), general artificial intelligence (AGI), and superintelligent AI (ASI). Each of these compartmentalizations of AI systems has respective political, sociological, and economical importance on human progress.  Benevolent AI— is aligned with human values, and would not present existential thre...

  Recently I took a quarter with all writing classes, mainly escaping from quantitative computation fatigue a quarter prior. The alleviation is absolutely appealing to me, but I still find myself too tired to compose when I want to now. It is a long siege for us, it is for a lot of things.  It is not my intention to become so withdrawn, never give into a quiet surrender to the world. Let it flood over my head, then let it carry me across the bridge, drenched. Here is my break with creativity, with all things abstract, and all things insubstantial.   How do you remember someone from a period of locked away memories? Everyone from that time saturates themselves with a darker hue, like cellar antiques that can not bear the lightness of day. He will walk around the largest pillars, turn around to face the radiance. They follow me until the end of my past.

 I haven't written in quite some time, and I thought about pushing it even further. So be it, let us push further into the future. Here is what I wrote for a newly-learned topic.  _________________________________________________________________________ Capabilities:  Algorithmic and compute advancement  Social:  Socioeconomic changes  Systemic:  Policies, regulations, and incentives.  _________________________________________________________________________ Question: What will AI systems look like in 10 years and how will current AI systems develop to get there? AI Systems Landscape by 2032 — evaluating current and future trajectories  Before I begin, I would like to address my critical shortcomings in my prediction. First, I suspect that I will be taking a convenient sampling, basing my predictions mainly on artificial intelligence precedents and their respective characteristics. Second, I will approximate this landscape with a limited numb...

Paris

Image
  Indulging in these hysterical methods of sedation  maybe pleases some part of your mind  I know your visceral sentiments are but chemicals  the horrors after tranquility are less than kind One hand holding Eliot, one hand reaching for your pompous dreams  I'd never take you for an escapist  if you didn't pour your guts out to the screens just a half-lived life with your half-closed Keats  now the sky is awash with blood Paris, hide her from these thousands of fleets

Arabesque

Image
The figures settle between arabesque carved pillars  their ivory skin obscured loosely by bedlah  snaking tendrils interlace at the palace domes  Damascus hums to the dancers' steps Palmettes and unreplicable perfection  surely these moresque creatures are crafted for exalted eyes a world within a bascilica  and another beyond these foliar-form facades  It is not within one's lifetime to behold such grandeur  as the magnitude of intellectual hegemony what joy it is for our contemporaries to condemn the scholars, praise the dancers--- the exuberance of being silenced forever!

2021

Image
It is by tradition that I ought to write a long-winded statement about another year passing and produce some grand adage which should overview my 2021; what good should it bring? I would rather hang useless words by my windowsill to ineffectively defend my artless character.  And so, with my lagging trackpad and mouse low-on-battery, I crank out the last bit of due ingenuity of a humanities-aspiring STEM student. Who can not dream?  I need to severe ties with events that agitate, do away with images that no longer connect, impose thresholds that have been breached over the years.  I find myself waiting for a conclusive sentence, for until then I will have no definitive judgment nor stable evaluation of my next act. I must trade impulsiveness for mellowness, allow time to slip me hints that I may have otherwise dashed past.  Most interactions and contacts can be summarized to a collage of reactions. I hope to react even less and inquire more. There is truly no time fo...

The Fishbowl Effect--- On Forgiveness

Image
The Fishbowl Effect Shifting into a mature mindset is to hone in on forgiveness. Society tells me to forgive, and I will do away with all the wrongs it has since introduced to me. Every motive, every projected situation, every hostile encounter originates from society, not from the individual. We are but children of the culture, lacking in some forefront knowledge that restricts us from complete empathy. By some quick wistful thought we impose our values to our proximal neighbors, and by this transient nature births society.  How can the fish lament on the water that gives it life, however dirty and filthy the water is?  They say that when you forgive, a physical weight slips from your shoulders. So let this message find me, let this moment wrap around me: let the warm light in!

The Moirai

Image
The Moirai Gameshow horror, aged cartoons Crawling on these littered streets, these men will feel different soon See how poisoned thoughts pour from intoxicated minds They would never make it back to Rockland  And neither will I Because the fates chide:  "who cowers at your gains and glamour? and who laughs at your pains and tremor?" 

Morals

Image
Giuseppe Galli Bibiena The blundering moral question. Examine the ignorant evil-doer and the apparent evil-doer. One disregards the severity of the evil act, crossing his moral boundaries, and commits evil. Next, the primitive man whose consciousness does not factor into his evil-doing, the act itself is at once cleansed of moral attachments. Now, our current justice system treats the two man with the same punishments. It evaluates with logical deduction, the crime comes before the motive behind the crime. However, there will always be a time when we commit a crime out of necessity. This sense of urgency, no matter at what time in our life, will be paramount. Crime is inevitable. It is at the mercy of one's socioeconomic standing that one can yield moral relief from the crime.

Camphor

Image
  I dreamed about a single Camphor tree by the cliffs. Towering mountains clashed together behind a gaping river thousands of meters below. The field grows knee-high rye, it was a field of gold that stretches beyond the horizon.  The rye clears in only one region: where the Camphor tree is. I could see a figure, recling by the tree. The figure remains idle, back against the auburn tree bark and his eyes shut. The ground tremored when he sluggishly welcomed light onto his outstretched arm, face, and into pupils.  From behind the tree he withdraws a transparent vase. In the act of upending it, the rays of midday sun shot into my eyes and I was temporarily blinded by the brilliance of the boy and his vase.  He sees me now, he takes me as an intruder. I wanted to say I mean no offense: I will bring him no harm. His delicate body sank, shaking his head as he went down.  The vase, containing all that is glorious, explodes and glass propelled forward across the rye fie...

Skene 3

Image
A verdant hue was the sky, and the sea breaks away where the brilliant glares end. Gallant stallions of waves prance, hollering upon the faux shores. Past the coastline, a revered Shungite rock protrudes from the surface, its sedimentary periphery refined and eroded from years of decay. The contour of the awashed figure starkly contrasts with the black mass beneath him. Tidepools litter the rock, and from one the young man lifts his foot. At noon, souls are seldom free from lingering sorries of yesterday. Memories of yesterday escapes the youth, and at once I feel myself immersed into his mind. Foreboding thoughts trouble his mind, I feel. His visage reflects the mystifying configuration of clouds, watch them encapsulate the whole expanse of the sky, and pauses at their thousands of answers untold. 

Chasm

Image
Chasm No need to glorify our state who harbored you for when the societal tides washed you whole?  despondence and silent sprouting  days until the leviathan takes ahold  entranced, the veiled singer raises her head to see:  this city upon stonemasonry is bleached white  count the sorrows and idolize the tinged gold  we must escape, escape this feigned prosperity

Dubai, World's Fair I'll ease into this world and I'll write about myself Sand settles, the bell tolls The titans crash into the ground While I am enraptured by time the seasons have mellowed me out hollowing my features and furrowing my brows  Untamed are the heavenly creatures but their feathers all fall down to earth even if their prowess is an illusion I will forever bow to fiction Give into society When the caustic crowds overwhelm the leaves' rustling When the bureaucrats tighten their cuffs I take my leave
