Loving Technologies/ Loving Technology‘s‘s‘s
2026
The Year Is One Night.
It’s the night before the A.I. Revolution. (On the eve of the A.I. Revolution). We are literally on the line/in the breath before the quantum/ in the second before a new being appears in the universe. We are simultaneously being born and dying — Excited and silent— as technology breaks us in 2/ then 4/ then 8/ then trillions.
What can we say? with breath that is crystallizing faster than a thought.
What can we do? with one action? one action that is now just ‘one action‘ in trillions and trillions and trilllions of actions happening everywhere. Eyes all over our bodies — we see images > images > images at the speed of light. our brains are breaking open into somewhere else.
It‘s the night before the going. because we are going. We are going Into this thing.
Technologies Love Us. (On the night before this impending technological revolution — this thought may not be our first thought.) As we light speed into THE UNKNOWN NIGHT what if our thoughts included — thoughts of love and technology. What if we began thinking about loving technologies. About technologies that love us. Let‘s begin tonight — our last night as the self we know/as the world we know — to explore new ways of seeing of what is hurtling towards us. What if we explored:
LOVING TECHNOLOGY
(TECHNOLOGY THAT IS LOVING)
OUR LOVING TECHNOLOGY
OUR TECHNOLOGIES THAT LOVE US
TECHNOLOGY
WHICH IS HERE
WITH THE INTENTION OF LOVE
TECHNOLOGY THAT WE LOVE (IN RETURN)
