Predictions
Dollcee said, I have been critiquing some space telescope images and when you take into consideration how long that light has taken to reach the telescope, then it is not unreasonable to think of the telescope as a time machine. Dos said, it is a pity that you can not interact with the past, but…

Machine Intelligence
Dollcee said, it occurred to me that machine intelligence is restricted to specific functions, because that is what machines do, they perform tasks. Slave labour is the precursor to machine intelligence, because slaves were seen in the same way, cheap productivity. Dollcee sat upright, to let the others know she was about to continue. Slaves,…

Sci-fi
Dos said to Padoke, I read a sci-fi story about these poor stateless refugees that were locked up in a refugee camp for decades. They developed a code and a digital interface that enabled them to download everything in their brains into digital format. They then went through all this digital data and deleted all…

Hanging out
Dollcee can be direct sometimes. Well, most of the time, she is direct. She is an intergalactic art critic and she is more than happy to point out that ‘life is a form of artist expression’. So, she feels obliged to provide an on-going critic of her existence, because, at the end of the day,…

I hope I really am here
Dos is having an internal conversation, so much of what I have to deal with every day is not really real. What I really mean is, going about your activity does not mean you have anything to show for the energy expended. I might have a new song at the end of the day, but…

How can you see without tone
Dollcee does not remember where or how she decided color is secondary to tone, but once she adopted the concept, her perception of art changed. She continued to change the color of her hair regularly, but for her there was no contradiction here. She still firmly believed that colors represented emotions and help to signal…

Fanatical
Dos said to Padoke, as a member of another species that is exposed to humanoids as much as you are and you are capable of articulating your observations, I would like to pose this question. What do you make of large groups who hold very strong views, that are more like the views of an…

Curracod
Dos is deep into an internal; most of my time is spent dealing with problems that probably don’t really exist outside privacy of my neural pathways. Here is an example. There can be multiple words used to describe the same thing. This makes the commonly spoken Western language difficult to learn. An example of the…

Contradictions
Cybo appeared and slunk into one of the few empty spaces in Dos’s little studio. Dos was busy and hardly noticed him. After a couple of hours Dos sat motionless for a while, Cybo said, Dos there are a lot of contradictions out there. I think the citizens are deluded about being on top of…

Conspiracy Theory
Dos had often wondered what a conspiracy theory is. For that matter, he thought, what’s a theory? He had figured out that a conspiracy was something bad, but he had no idea where it was on the bad to evil spectrum. Padoke, are you familiar with the term conspiracy theory, inquired Dos. Padoke tilted his…
