“Humanitarian Arithmetic (Sonnet 1354) If it takes $300bn to end world hunger, and 7 trillion to fund the next AI wonder, how many people have to starve to death, to feed the appetite of the cyberworld? If Britain's NHS costs about $200bn, and US military costs 800 billion dollars, how many have to suffer from sickness, for the tribal chiefs to feel secure? If it takes $20bn to end homelessness in the US, and trillions to colonize Mars, how many have to sleep in cardboard boxes, for heirs of billionaires to breed on Mars? You don't need to be a Ramanujan or Euler, to solve this simple arithmetic equation. But you do need a living human heart, to take responsibility for the solution.”

“We are approaching a soft data catastrophe. Entire lives, from tastes in music and clothes to deepest personal convictions - all produced by networks of feedback between datamining and content recommendation algorithms. The 'catastrophe' is when these algorithms unconsciously (or maybe, consciously?) lead people down presupposed paths for modern and emerging markets. Algorithms could right now be helping make people convert to a religion, drug addicts, vegan, LGBTQ, ethnonarcissists, fat, cult members, suicidal, narcissists, atheist, poly, mass shooters...”

“Представи си, че решаваш с генетичен алгоритъм задачата за търговския пътник. Натъпкваш индивидите със случайни правила и ги пускаш да еволюират. А те как преживяват това? Те си мислят с кого да се кръстосат, ядосват се, когато съседът им изяде ресурсите, някои загиват, други оцеляват. Цяла трагедия древногръцка. А не разбират, че смисълът на техния така наречен живот е да решат — при това не поотделно, а колективно, цялата популация — задачата за търговския пътник. И нищо друго. Но в мисленето си те са ограничени в ядене, размножаване и толкова. Това е за тях смисълът. А ти ги гледаш отгоре като дядо господ как се суетят… — Май нещо като системна теология се получава — чеше се по главата Сидорчук. — Някой ни е програмирал, на седмия ден е задал гранични условия и ни е пуснал да му решаваме задачата. За търговски пътник или за обхождане на N-мерна шахматна дъска с ход на коня, слона и верблюда. И сега ние смятаме нещо, а Програмистът ни зяпа отгоре и се чуди кога ще свършваме. А ние преживяваме, конкурираме се за пари и жени, водим войни — обикновени, валутни и хуманитарни…”

“No algorithm exists for the metaphor, nor can a metaphor be produced by means of a computer’s precise instructions, no matter what the volume of organized information to be fed in. The success of a metaphor is a function of the sociocultural format of the interpreting subjects; encyclopedia. In this perspective, metaphors are produced solely on the basis of a rich cultural framework, on the basis, that is, of a universe of content that is already organized into networks of interpretation, which decide semiotically) the identities and differences of properties.”

“Age of AI (The Sonnet) Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms grow bigger, and minds get smaller, where freedom is the new prison, character retreats as cave dweller. Welcome to the age of AI, where deceit is the new creativity, where hate is a human right, malinformation is a legal industry. Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms are still nonsentient, but so are the people that use them, mindlessness is trend of the new sapiens. Welcome to the age of AI, where global goals are still a dream, only more distant. Prove me wrong - I beg of you - Stand up and behave, a proper Sapiens!”

“Silicon and Sapiens (The Sonnet) Once upon a time, I put down my soldering iron and picked up the keyboard, for I couldn't afford to sustain my passion for electronics any more. But now that I look back, It was for the best. The world has plenty tech genius, what it lacks is reformer scientist. My inside awareness of machine intricacies has been an aid to my neuroscience. In a world torn between mind and machine, I bridge the shores of silicon and sapiens. Biologists often diss the potential of machine, just like gadgeteers are oblivious to life. Life is a cosmic miracle, machines are a human one, and with added purpose, machines could be the mightiest defense of life.”

“AI is the white colonizer of the modern world, headed to destroy everything that is sweet, original and meaningful about human life. Unless you clip its wings while there is time, like the British empire, AI empire will bring back the dark ages, not light.”

“Technology is inevitable, AI is inevitable - first it's basic algorithm, now it's Generative AI, later it's AI agents, afterwards, physical AI. And we can do nothing about it, what we can do is, make sure that the step-up for AI is not a step-down for humans - we gotta make sure that as machines are upgraded from lifeless devices to automatons with pretend-sentience, human mind isn't downgraded to obsolescence.”

“Naskar Constitution of GenAI (Sonnet) At times I'm hard on AI, at times I'm lenient, I have just one law on AI, keep the human at the center, and be transparent. Use AI to empower life, don't abuse AI to ruin life. AI must orbit humanity, not turn humanity into a lie. Don't make the same mistake with AI as organized religion did, by destroying human agency. Once out, AI is here to stay, but there are meaningful ways to use AI instead of cheap forgery. AI may assist, when the human awakens; machine may speak, what the mind has written. After I'm gone, you're welcome to clone my image and voice, but never put words in my mouth that I've never written.”

“Code War (Sonnet 1317) The next world war is not gonna be a cold war, it's gonna be a code war. Forget about conscious AI, ethicless AI is the real danger. Codes don't have to be conscious, to do great damage to the world. ChatGPT, Deepfake, Dall-E, none are sentient, yet there is no limit to them-produced fraud and havoc. Without a basic righteousness code, Fanciest of algorithm is mindless junk. If you cannot figure out how to do that, Abandon digital and build back analog. Focus on ethical AI, rather than smarter AI, If you are human, and wanna help the world. If you're a robot who thinks logic is king, Get yourself admitted, for you are in muck.”

“Coding Sonnet One of the most powerful tools of science is coding, A string of illegible characters can make or break a society. 145,000 lines of code landed Armstrong 'n Aldrin on the moon, And 2 billion of them are working to satisfy everyday curiosity. But this awesome force is still used mostly to generate revenue, Welfare of humanity isn't a priority here, but a mere suggestion. That's why the coding marvel that set out to connect the world, Has become a playground for conspiracy, bigotry and division. Learn from the horrific blunders of society's founding coders, Make humanity the primary command of every code you write. A code that doesn't lift the society is nothing but a hideous bug, Zeros and Ones know no good or bad, unless by you it is defined. Uncle Ben once said, with great power comes great responsibility. I say to you today, a humane code facilitates a humane society.”

“Yesterday's world was obsessed with swords, today's world is obsessed with guns, tomorrow's world will be obsessed with AI, and it always ends up with death and destruction. Day after tomorrow it'll be business as usual, savage world will be back obsessing with fire, then again with swords, then guns, and so on, till the sky pours ashes and seas boil over.”
