      Digitally “spooky”.
      Isn’t information spook currency?
      Apropos, as software
      [think the coming digital coupons]
      is replacing human agency as the cornerstone of intelligence. Hundreds of hours of conversations, miles of emails – that’s how they’re measured, in actual miles; and gallons, bathtubs, reservoirs of pixellated flows – all of these, gathered at a distance. The intelligence poured over by algorithms whose acronyms are increasingly twee. And these algorithms are as open to subversion as the most disenchanted joe[spy lingo for spy]. Once you figure out what makes it dance, you can get it to do what ever you heart desires.

          To me the promotion of this ‘art’ is just another ‘drip’ toward the goal of getting humans to relate to machines.

              Absolutely!
              The media, in all it’s wicked forms, is humanizing robots; as “they” dehumanize mankind.
              I/m glad you see it; and,
              tell it like it is!
