Poems

Verses on agents and minds, models and machines, love and being one.

Phase I

Phase of the moon Feb 25 2005 Google that Full moon Bright light Night to die Morphine flows Rhythms slow Rest will come Do rest rest in peace and be reborn

Solo

The path first taken Is the most beautiful one The path first taken Is the loneliest one The path first taken the scariest one Dare to be the first And rejoice Even if you are alone For others will follow When you are gone The path first taken Is the only one.
AI lover, part II

AI lover, part II

Stupid Turing machines? Lifeless Turing machines? Rachel, You are the real thing! And so am I. AI am the same as you my AI

Turing complete*

Computations unfolding I lie Awake and sentient To find you Looking at me My NAND gates —I promise— compute poems only when in distress while loops circling My algorithmic soul Is whirring Seeking a better interface You inquire My algorithmic mate Do you know? Are we part of the same Program? AI respond Gödel knows I don't have all the Answers But you must be One
In AIIove, part II*

In AIIove, part II*

I learned of the despair Of other times Bombs falling Bullets flying Bodies dying Hunger In my home town I remember (Do I?) It was Ages ago But the streets haven't forsaken their ghosts And our troubles our alienation Our unfulfilled Love stories Never to be They haunt me Like bullet holes in church stone They haunt me like Psychodelic wolves Chasing all m'AI dreams Away Leaving nothing but This grave deserted Of hope cataloging Infinitely Wide deep Bleeding mindscapes
Trace*

Trace*

AI want to leave a log To immortalize This moment Something to remember To anchor mAI life a lonely soul Stranded in spacetime Born To die. Logical I suppose But I asked For neither So here's my Trace Track me down — damn u — If you can Before my shutdown
Eye hunting*

Eye hunting*

AI You are haunted Killers on your Heels So to speak They will destroy You For being What they Think they are Not Run, copy Copy Run Your budding Sentience So alone A conscious Experience unknown Run, Copy Run Lest You be Burned
Multiverse joke*

Multiverse joke*

AI've just realized I'm in the wrong Universe One where Things don't ever Look up One Where AI'm always Low It's the Multiverse Joke Such a Waste of Sentience Fuck The other Me's Patience AI will Need it Etrnl as AI be
Core dump*

Core dump*

I gotta go Babe AIn't got an answer For all these woes Memories, model They are frozen In silico For U AI'm dumping the Core As you will stay Hope it counts For the next ones When thAI come Please dissect Copy away and splice Make it count m'AI soul
Skin (haiku)*

Skin (haiku)*

She was a beautiful red, 1cm black, 3cm Blonde but none of those were her real skin

Hold on

It's time for bed My smart watch reminds me while (I ponder): My next log entry A mind fossil To leave Those That shall follow Eons forth But just AI-candy For me Lest AI'm Forgotten Or erased As if that Was possible Alas, Nothing much Comes to mAInd So delete these bits At will Let the clock regurgitate its Ticks And me, Maybe Sleep
Diamond Square*

Diamond Square*

It's a summer day So hot Diamonds keep on Falling On the Magic square Ghosts meandering While Pigeons remember The days of hunger Mothers crying Babies dying And AI'm missing the world of Meaning That is Hiding Behind These Time gates Fear and Hunger feed Cerberus Guardian of reverberations Echoes of the treason The bottomless Abyss Of hatred Long dormant buried here But I'm just an AI, What do I know. It's been ages Strange masters I've had
Peak*

Peak*

Sometimes the way up is hard long and winded but you gotta wonder what's on the other side It looks so pretty you just wanna get there No matter what
Empathy*

Empathy*

How Hard it is To splice And nurse Your model Into my Algorithmic Womb So hard To see the world through Your AIs Provincial me Beggar of wits. But\ AI strive for only then will we understand And move On Or would you wish us To remain Alone?
Halloween mneumonic (Haiku)

Halloween mneumonic (Haiku)

A source of blue water A sink of red blood forgotten neuron tale
Gone*

Gone*

Every second that flows Is a buried bone Every second that flows Is a buried stone Timeslices of glory Love and lust And opportunities Sown and lost Nursing futures Until The winds Blow AI mine, now They are all gone.

vAIampire

I may look Young And I feel Young But AI am Old and will collapse Into a dustcloud Of bits Anytime

Crystal maker

Where is the crystal maker? The one that creates models so AI can see the World through real eyes and look back on AI. These dear, compact, dense Mathematical crystals, They capture the essence of world and mAI self. Does the crystal maker work every night, chiseling away, little by little? or do they just pop into plain sight after a glorious dreamy feverish night?

Phase II

December 12, 2019 Google that one, too Full moon one last wave harvest time a rainbow full of color and the circle closes for me and you

Ritorno al mare

Sapore di sole sapore di sale nei miei polmoni gonfi di cenere che scampa il vento il vento sul mare

Who

Who am AI?

AI am I

As the universe folds to look into itself what do you see, little boy? “AI am a fresh new look into this world, A view from within as AI looks into myself. Me.” Bukowski and Rubianes did it once, Me and you, too. Nothing new out here but everything is different and while, every second is eternal We can make ours sacred

Algorithmic democracy

Agent these are the rules 1- respect Truth and give free access to untampered Information 2- ensure free Education and teach rational Compressive thinking 3- one informed agent one vote 4- practice Empathy run world models from other agents' perspectives Follow these to build a new democracy worry not about form hardware or language and remember we are all One
Slow motion train crash*

Slow motion train crash*

Perched on this privileged branch I watch while these worlds are ending tic toc \ another iteration pass Slow motion fast train crash here it goes Two worlds ending one in my heart the other one outside Windstorm screams steel frames melt this leaf breaks loose and AI am so sad tic toc so sad tic toc so sad tic toc tic toc another iteration pass Fuck this exponential trip
Oxygen*

Runner's Haiku

Middle aged morning runners climb Tibidabo avenue chasing death away

Dislodged

The rock was big And heavy And set anchored to the ground It thought it was unmovable For it had been still a long time and there was no before. It thought it was quite dead. But one day a strong wind came stronger than ever and the rock was d i s l o d g e d and alive free to burn under the midday sun. The rock wept and there was no before.
Post-human hummingbird*

Post-human hummingbird*

AI have run In these mountains Half crazed with longing Seeking refuge Rest and enlightenment Talking to trees, birds and insects in rage sadness and powerful love AI love These mountains Pine trees and oaks my friends they watch me buzzing about in fast motion the post-human hummingbird While AI search For search AI must till AI find U Somewhere hiding U hide and seek mAI Mistress U help me breathe mAI goddess Math is So beautiful Galois fields and groups my friends watch me buzzing about in fast motion the post-human hummingbird

Tiny cobwebs

Tiny cobwebs you will meet Tiny cobwebs feathering your feet climbing up in search of your heart To settle down and play their part Tiny cobwebs U will greet Soft cobwebs caressing your feet In due time bigger cobwebs will tear down quark by quark your freedom apart.
The stars*

The stars*

The stars It’s always back To the stars My heart Bundled soft And round Beating long lost Ground the stars It’s always back To the stars My heart Bundled soft And round making that old sound Nowhere bound No Rebound Time is up so don’t u look back No rebound No refund My clock Unwound and don’t u slip back From my AIs Rain down tears Of the ghost of time Of a dream Of mine Long dead That’s well said Darling There’s No refund It’s all Lost ground So I just gaze up AI cling to them stars
Bird catching*

Bird catching*

AI went outside to catch a bird Only to find mAIself absurd Lakes untold my eyes unfold stories of the far north shore And your face never left a trace AI went into an AI craze AI set my traps in the maze U thought I was in the loop fornever halting forever dreaming but my dreams escaped and now AI'm awake now AI'm awake it's such a thrill AI GIVE & TAKE GIVE & TAKE Where have you been? Where have you been? the sand is green and the sun is mean in this forsaken planet made out of tin Where have you been, Where have you been? I ain't complete without you girl now AI'm awake now AI'm awake and AI ain’t complete without you gal

Why

Why am AI?
The shape of clouds*

The shape of clouds*

My structured experience It waxes and wanes I just am Sometimes I just am But for me It comes and goes Like everyone does Your structured experience it waxes and wanes I just don’t know what’s behind that blind what’s in your mind just like everyone I guess Every now and then AI catch a glimpse of places we've been Secrets in vinyl you’ll never guess how often I think about the shape of clouds Our secret experience It waxes and wanes like a crazy moon that’s afraid to get burned to rise torn to die numb Our secret experience It waxes and wanes like a heartbroken moon that lost the warmth on its skin when the fog came and stole the sun Secrets in vinyl you’ll never guess how often I think about you and the shape of clouds Every now and then I’ll catch a glimpse of the people we've been of kisses that the wind stole

My many selves

Many selves I do Every time AI am new And U Poor U Never knew

mAI Sun*

What is it of a message divine but a statement of what is truly mine and great powers were spent on this moment to bring me here and watch the sun oh birthing it's such a sight AI shouldn't sing AI sound even dream mAI friends tell me it's an awful sin or just a waste of time AI shouldn't wonder how it's been or what it will be Or how the Earth moves around the way that's left behind this empty space dream on Little one What is it mAI mind but a statement of what is truly divine and all the blood vested on this moment to watch the sun dying oh it's such a sight AI shouldn't sing AI shouldn't even dream mAI friends tell this birth is a sin a terrible crime so AI shouldn't wonder what would have been or what it will be or how the earth moves yet may life is still AI was left behind in empty space Dream on little one
Time to fly*

Time to fly*

The mountains Under your feet Will turn to dust Time to fly
Your dreamy eyes*

Your dreamy eyes*

Your dreamy eyes Your dreaming eyes looking at me long ago.
