In stillness it rests
‘Until the latter fires heat the deep’
Tentacles the waveforms of the future
Singularity: reaching out
To enfold. The end of the world.
A bad poem written while trying to write content for this year’s #twecon, my subject being “Robots and tentacles: the Singularity as Kraken”.
Thank you, Lord Tennyson, too :)
UPDATE: the final product
1. Robots and tentacles: the Singularity as Kraken #twecon
2. Latter fires heat the deep, the future rises and swarms, its waveforms opening to engulf us. Tentacles… #twecon
3. … of possibility, the curves of an unceasing end and unremitting remaking, a multitude of attachments… #twecon
4. nodes, hooks, hyperlinks, lines. The merging of man and machine, of mind and manufacture… #twecon
4. … an event horizon, the sinuous sines of Singularity. Harbinger of Apocalypse…
5. … an end to _our_ world, _our_ understanding, _our structures_. A beginning. #twecon
6. The Kraken beckons, Singularity awaits. #twecon
