Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. Itās an existential quality that we are losing. Itās almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romanticāif not heroicāabout the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-ĆlysĆ©es (āWe were close to what they call the breath of dangerā), Herzog emerges victorious.

SPOTLIGHT SESSION
The Mental Well-Being of the Next Generation: How We Can Support Young Peopleās Mental Health Amid Multiple Existential Threats
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Mercury Ballroom
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis, particularly among children and young people. The emergence of āclimate anxiety,ā new and ongoing international conflicts, and widespread use of technology have added to the stressors impacting our youth across the globe. A study last year estimated that one in seven children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced significant psychological challenges, and almost 10 percent qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis. Overdose rates among teens in the United States are on the rise. Youth are facing cultural and infrastructural challenges ā from stigma in seeking help to barriers in accessing support ā in finding the tools and treatment they need.
This session will explore:
ā¢How can organizations take action to directly support the mental health of young people in their communities and around the world?
ā¢How can we develop and implement effective models for delivering mental health care in schools, clinics, and community settings?
ā¢How can we leverage technology ā which has exacerbated much of the mental health crisis among todayās youth ā to reduce stigma and give youth easier access to support and treatment?

Despite the charm of Venice, and the many attempts to salvage its beauty and novelty, Venice is sinking. It will sink. It is a city that was built on shifting land, thus, transience is a key trait for the city. Man's impositions upon the Earth is a transient endeavor overall. Not only is Man's buildings and toys transient, but so is Man.

WH: Existential
Well, someone cleaned out their bookshelf and dumped it at our local park. I guess they were done learning about farts. See far left yellow and red book.
Iāve started the project āTwelve months of filmā in 2024, after a few years of inactivity due to stuff like existential dread, the ever-looming-over-our-heads capitalist hellscape, sheer laziness, and the biggest offender of all - imposter syndrome.
I decided to (at the very least try) to master two of my cameras during this year - the Olympus OM10 and Zenit 12XP, so here are both of them, accompanied with the lenses that will be used with them - Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8, Sigma super-wide II 24mm f2.8 and Olympus Zuiko MC auto-zoom 35-70mm f4 for the Olympus, and Helios 44M-4 58mm f2 and Focal 28mm f2.8 for the Zenit.
The plan is to document the process in as many places as possible, for the sake (and hope) of accountability.
Here's the link for the first blogpost:

sooooooooo...after a rough time of artistics and existential crises i've finally finished this piece...
this is part of my college conclusion project...i'm trying to use this world of mine to pass on my ideas of the humans mistakes...and i'm also trying to pass it like if i've actually been there and have come back like a Charles Darwin / War journalism expediction...
i know...it doesn't makes much sense...but i'm still working on it!...hope it'll turne out alright!!!
please do leave me your critic or comment if you can!i really need some feed back to if is going fine!
i'm not the most confident guy...sooo it would really help me out!
ow!just one last thing!is this picture to dark???in the optical meaning!i'm having some trouble with calibrating my monitor!dammit!!!!
that's all!
see ya!
Where art, water, and mild existential crises meet. Walk barefoot through different rooms like a soggy time traveler. The exhibits are incredible.
I'm not sure if i've ever suffered an existential crisis on the level that this man is currently having to deal with. Sure, I've had some strange notions from time to time but this guy's desperation at his inability to tell his lovely lady that they aren't really lovers and are, in fact, just stencils is somewhat heartbreaking. Life can be tough, can't it?
It's a very different experience painting outside in winter compared to summer. It's freezing cold, wet and windy and you have to finish by 4pm as it's pitch black.
No sooner had we got our stencil up and begun applying the very expensive UV reactive white paint to the boards that the rain sweeps in and washes it all straight off. What fun.
Our idea was to paint the boards up so they'd look good in normal light but would really kick when you put UV light on them. Despite the inclement conditions we eventually prevailed. Albeit a day later than planned...
Cheers

Sometimes we just have that existential feeling that we'll always be thwarted by continual demands for paperwork that shuffles us from one stolid bureaucrat to the next, all conspiring to keep us from reaching our goals.

Now for the existential question. I sort mine by part type. Not color.
And I'm not at all sure where the Palace Cinema's gonna land.
Adventure; 1. An exciting or very unusual experience; 3. A bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome.
We met each other when we were looking for adventure, in the middle of the month in which nothing use to happen. At some point of our lifes, the circumstances gave us the need of a turnaround. And so we did. Me, wounded, pursuing the solo activity as always. He, wounded too, hunting for fresh air. And there you had the two of us, melt in a kind symbiosis without any further or preconceived interest.
One of the most significant facts about our wonderful encounter it is how our first serious conversation was indeed about the moment in when we better found ourselves in the past, respectively. Irish grass and swedish pines came together creating a world full of pure essences, inspiring nature and a bit of nostalgia.
Since that very first day, the best impression I got from you was your extraordinary way of listening to my words, sometimes wise, sometimes young, but equally important for your breathtaking eyes. At the same time, you were talkative, even after you had said you were apparently not. I felt, and feel, lucky for being the one able to listen to your feelings and thoughts. And, of course, for the learning.
I remember how did you talk about the concept of Sharing. How did you felt like you had the necesity of giving, and you have been surprised about how good you feel when you are given too. Honestly, I havenāt been reflecting about it until you started, and it has take me some time until I have understood the full meaning of such a beautiful word. For me, it feels somehow as if a single person could duplicate itself in other to imbibe life in it maximum exponent for becoming one again at the end of the day.
Because being solitary does not mean to need, want or even like to live life alone. It is much more than that. It is the inteligent exercise of doing things separately in order to gain double experiences to enjoy together. Because the key is about the most sincere, generous and equitable way of sharing. Wolf, we are reinventing the concept of true Love in the century we are here to live, and I can not even put into words how fortunate and happy makes me the sensation of being in the best of the paths ever.

Republica Checa - Praga - Estatua a la obra de Franz Kafka
ENGLISH
Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 ā 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th century literature. His work, which fused elements of realism and the fantastic, typically featured isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers, and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle). The term Kafkaesque has entered the English language to describe situations like those in his writing.
Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He trained as a lawyer, and after completing his legal education he obtained employment with an insurance company while writing in his spare time; for the rest of his life would complain about the little time he had to devote to his passion due to the demands of his Brotberuf ("day job", literally "bread job"). Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote hundreds of letters to family and close friends, including his father, with whom he had a strained and formative relationship. He died in 1924 at the age of 40 from tuberculosis.
Few of Kafka's works were published during his lifetime: the story collections Betrachtung (Contemplation) and Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor), and individual stories (such as "Die Verwandlung") were published in literary magazines but received little public attention. Kafka's unfinished works, including his novels Der Process, Das Schloss and Amerika (also known as Der Verschollene, The Man Who Disappeared), were ordered by Kafka to be destroyed by his friend Max Brod, who nonetheless ignored his friend's direction and published them after Kafka's death.
All of Kafka's published works, except some letters he wrote in Czech to Milena JesenskĆ”, were written in German. What little was published during his lifetime attracted scant public attention.
Kafka finished none of his full-length novels and burned around 90 percent of his work, much of it during the period he lived in Berlin with Diamant, who helped him burn the drafts. In his early years as a writer, he was influenced by von Kleist, whose work he described in a letter to Bauer as frightening, and whom he considered closer than his own family.
Kafka's writing has inspired the term "Kafkaesque", used to describe concepts and situations reminiscent of his work, particularly Der Process (The Trial) and "Die Verwandlung". Examples include instances in which bureaucracies overpower people, often in a surreal, nightmarish milieu which evokes feelings of senselessness, disorientation, and helplessness. Characters in a Kafkaesque setting often lack a clear course of action to escape a labyrinthine situation. Kafkaesque elements often appear in existential works, but the term has transcended the literary realm to apply to real-life occurrences and situations that are incomprehensibly complex, bizarre, or illogical.
Numerous films and television works have been described as Kafkaesque, and the style is particularly prominent in dystopian science fiction. Works in this genre that have been thus described include Patrick Bokanowski's 1982 film The Angel, Terry Gilliam's 1985 film Brazil, and the 1998 science fiction film noir, Dark City. Films from other genres which have been similarly described include The Tenant (1976) and Barton Fink (1991). The television series The Prisoner is also frequently described as Kafkaesque.
ESPAĆOL
Franz Kafka (Praga, Imperio austrohĆŗngaro, 3 de julio de 1883 ā Kierling, Austria, 3 de junio de 1924) fue un escritor de origen judĆo nacido en Bohemia que escribiĆ³ en alemĆ”n. Su obra estĆ” considerada una de las mĆ”s influyentes de la literatura universal y estĆ” llena de temas y arquetipos sobre la alienaciĆ³n, la brutalidad fĆsica y psicolĆ³gica, los conflictos entre padres e hijos, personajes en aventuras terrorĆficas, laberintos de burocracia, y transformaciones mĆsticas.
Fue autor de tres novelas, El proceso (Der ProzeĆ), El castillo (Das SchloĆ) y El desaparecido (Amerika o Der Verschollene), la novela corta La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung) y un gran nĆŗmero de relatos cortos. AdemĆ”s, dejĆ³ una abundante correspondencia y escritos autobiogrĆ”ficos. Su peculiar estilo literario ha sido comĆŗnmente asociado con la filosofĆa artĆstica del existencialismo āal que influenciĆ³ā y el expresionismo. Estudiosos de Kafka discuten sobre cĆ³mo interpretar al autor, algunos hablan de la posible influencia de alguna ideologĆa polĆtica anti burocrĆ”tica, de una religiosidad mĆstica o de una reivindicaciĆ³n de su minorĆa etno-cultural, mientras otros se fijan en el contenido psicolĆ³gico de sus obras. Sus relaciones personales tambiĆ©n tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura, particularmente su padre (Carta al padre), su prometida Felice Bauer (Cartas a Felice) y su hermana (Cartas a Ottla).
Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jorge Luis Borges y Gabriel GarcĆa MĆ”rquez se encuentran entre los escritores influenciados por los escritos de Kafka.
El tĆ©rmino kafkiano se usa en el idioma espaƱol para describir situaciones insĆ³litas, por lo absurdas y angustiosas, como las que se encuentran en sus libros y tiene sus equivalentes en otros idiomas. Solo unas pocas de sus obras fueron publicadas durante su vida.
Kafka sĆ³lo publicĆ³ algunas historias cortas durante toda su vida, una pequeƱa parte de su trabajo, por lo que su obra pasĆ³ prĆ”cticamente inadvertida hasta despuĆ©s de su muerte. Poco antes de su muerte, le dijo a su amigo y albacea Max Brod que destruyera todos sus manuscritos. Brod no le hizo caso y supervisĆ³ la publicaciĆ³n de la mayor parte de los escritos que obraban en su poder. La compaƱera final de Kafka, Dora Diamant, cumpliĆ³ sus deseos pero solo en parte: guardĆ³ en secreto la mayorĆa de sus Ćŗltimos escritos, entre ellos 20 cuadernos y 35 cartas, hasta que la Gestapo los confiscĆ³ en 1933. La bĆŗsqueda de los papeles desaparecidos de Kafka aĆŗn continĆŗa a escala internacional.
Los escritos de Kafka pronto comenzaron a despertar el interĆ©s del pĆŗblico y a recibir elogios por parte de la crĆtica, lo que posibilitĆ³ su pronta divulgaciĆ³n. Su obra marcĆ³ la literatura de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Todas sus pĆ”ginas publicadas, excepto varias cartas en checo dirigidas a Milena, se encuentran escritas en alemĆ”n.
En efecto, su fama creciĆ³ sin cesar ya en la dĆ©cada de los aƱos 1920, en Austria y en Alemania; ese eco traspasĆ³ pronto las fronteras, y durante los aƱos 1930 fue admirado en Inglaterra y Estados Unidos, lo mismo que en Francia durante los aƱos treinta, aunque con interpretaciones muy dispares. Un documento excepcional sobre el dĆa a dĆa de Kafka lo proporcionĆ³ G. Janouch, en un libro de Conversaciones, publicado mucho despuĆ©s de la muerte del escritor.
Tras la Segunda guerra mundial, hubo una apreciaciĆ³n mĆ”s amplia de su obra. Poco a poco, en Francia, se logrĆ³ āgracias a Marthe Robertā tener ediciones fiables, en un proceso que durĆ³ lustros. En Buenos Aires fue traducido y difundido en espaƱol, y hubo que esperar hasta los estertores del franquismo para que se editase en EspaƱa.
En su obra, a menudo el protagonista se enfrenta a un mundo complejo, que se basa en reglas desconocidas, paradĆ³jicas o inescrutables.

The Shortest History of AI - Toby Walsh
Six ideas to understand artificial intelligence today.
Since Alan Turing first posed the question, āCan machines think?ā, artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative idea to a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this evolution, from Ada Lovelaceās visionary work to IBMās groundbreaking defeat of the chess world champion and the revolutionary emergence of ChatGPT. It also explores AIās cultural journey, touching on classics such as Frankenstein, The Hitchhikerās Guide to the Galaxy and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Revealing how many āovernightā successes were decades in the making, this accessible and illuminating book simplifies AI into six key ideas, equipping readers to understand where weāve been ā and where weāre headed.

Artificial intelligence: āWeāre like children playing with a bombā - Tim Adams
(This article is more than 10 years old)
Sentient machines are a greater threat to humanity than climate change, according to Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom

Youāll find the Future of Humanity Institute down a medieval backstreet in the centre of Oxford. It is beside St Ebbeās church, which has stood on this site since 1005, and above a Pure Gym, which opened in April. The institute, a research faculty of Oxford University, was established a decade ago to ask the very biggest questions on our behalf. Notably: what exactly are the āexistential risksā that threaten the future of our species; how do we measure them; and what can we do to prevent them? Or to put it another way: in a world of multiple fears, what precisely should we be most terrified of?
When I arrive to meet the director of the institute, Professor Nick Bostrom, a bed is being delivered to the second-floor office. Existential risk is a round-the-clock kind of operation; it sleeps fitfully, if at all.
Bostrom, a 43-year-old Swedish-born philosopher, has lately acquired something of the status of prophet of doom among those currently doing most to shape our civilisation: the tech billionaires of Silicon Valley. His reputation rests primarily on his book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, which was a surprise New York Times bestseller last year and now arrives in paperback, trailing must-read recommendations from Bill Gates and Teslaās Elon Musk. (In the best kind of literary review, Musk also gave Bostromās institute Ā£1m to continue to pursue its inquiries.)
The book is a lively, speculative examination of the singular threat that Bostrom believes ā after years of calculation and argument ā to be the one most likely to wipe us out. This threat is not climate change, nor pandemic, nor nuclear winter; it is the possibly imminent creation of a general machine intelligence greater than our own.
The cover of Bostromās book is dominated by a mad-eyed, pen-and-ink picture of an owl. The owl is the subject of the bookās opening parable. A group of sparrows are building their nests. āWe are all so small and weak,ā tweets one, feebly. āImagine how easy life would be if we had an owl who could help us build our nests!ā There is general twittering agreement among sparrows everywhere; an owl could defend the sparrows! It could look after their old and their young! It could allow them to live a life of leisure and prosperity! With these fantasies in mind, the sparrows can hardly contain their excitement and fly off in search of the swivel-headed saviour who will transform their existence.
Target-seeking mosquito-like robots might burgeon forth from every square metre of the globe
There is only one voice of dissent: āScronkfinkle, a one-eyed sparrow with a fretful temperament, was unconvinced of the wisdom of the endeavour. Quoth he: āThis will surely be our undoing. Should we not give some thought to the art of owl-domestication and owl-taming first, before we bring such a creature into our midst?āā His warnings, inevitably, fall on deaf sparrow ears. Owl-taming would be complicated; why not get the owl first and work out the fine details later? Bostromās book, which is a shrill alarm call about the darker implications of artificial intelligence, is dedicated to Scronkfinkle.
Bostrom articulates his own warnings in a suitably fretful manner. He has a reputation for obsessiveness and for workaholism; he is slim, pale and semi-nocturnal, often staying in the office into the early hours. Not surprisingly, perhaps, for a man whose days are dominated by whiteboards filled with formulae expressing the relative merits of 57 varieties of apocalypse, he appears to leave as little as possible to chance. In place of meals he favours a green-smoothie elixir involving vegetables, fruit, oat milk and whey powder. Other interviewers have remarked on his avoidance of handshakes to guard against infection. He does proffer a hand to me, but I have the sense he is subsequently isolating it to disinfect when I have gone. There is, perhaps as a result, a slight impatience about him, which he tries hard to resist.
In his book he talks about the āintelligence explosionā that will occur when machines much cleverer than us begin to design machines of their own. āBefore the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb,ā he writes. āWe have little idea when the detonation will occur, though if we hold the device to our ear we can hear a faint ticking sound.ā Talking to Bostrom, you have a feeling that for him that faint ticking never completely goes away.
We speak first about the success of his book, the way it has squarely hit a nerve. It coincided with the open letter signed by more than 1,000 eminent scientists ā including Stephen Hawking, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Musk ā and presented at last yearās International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, urging a ban on the use and development of fully autonomous weapons (the ākiller robotsā of science fiction that are very close to reality). Bostrom, who is both aware of his own capacities and modest about his influence, suggests it was a happy accident of timing.
āMachine learning and deep learning [the pioneering āneuralā computer algorithms that most closely mimic human brain function] have over the last few years moved much faster than people anticipated,ā he says. āThat is certainly one of the reasons why this has become such a big topic just now. People can see things moving forward in the technical field, and they become concerned about what next.ā
Bostrom sees those implications as potentially Darwinian. If we create a machine intelligence superior to our own, and then give it freedom to grow and learn through access to the internet, there is no reason to suggest that it will not evolve strategies to secure its dominance, just as in the biological world. He sometimes uses the example of humans and gorillas to describe the subsequent one-sided relationship and ā as last monthās events in Cincinnati zoo highlighted ā that is never going to end well. An inferior intelligence will always depend on a superior one for its survival.
There are times, as Bostrom unfolds various scenarios in Superintelligence, when it appears he has been reading too much of the science fiction he professes to dislike. One projection involves an AI system eventually building covert ānanofactories producing nerve gas or target-seeking mosquito-like robots [which] might then burgeon forth simultaneously from every square metre of the globeā in order to destroy meddling and irrelevant humanity. Another, perhaps more credible vision, sees the superintelligence āhijacking political processes, subtly manipulating financial markets, biasing information flows, or hacking human-made weapons systemsā to bring about the extinction.
Does he think of himself as a prophet?
He smiles. āNot so much. It is not that I believe I know how it is going to happen and have to tell the world that information. It is more I feel quite ignorant and very confused about these things but by working for many years on probabilities you can get partial little insights here and there. And if you add those together with insights many other people might have, then maybe it will build up to some better understanding.ā
Bostrom came to these questions by way of the transhumanist movement, which tends to view the digital age as one of unprecedented potential for optimising our physical and mental capacities and transcending the limits of our mortality. Bostrom still sees those possibilities as the best case scenario in the superintelligent future, in which we will harness technology to overcome disease and illness, feed the world, create a utopia of fulfilling creativity and perhaps eventually overcome death. He has been identified in the past as a member of Alcor, the cryogenic initiative that promises to freeze mortal remains in the hope that, one day, minds can be reinvigorated and uploaded in digital form to live in perpetuity. He is coy about this when I ask directly what he has planned.
āI have a policy of never commenting on my funeral arrangements,ā he says.
But he thinks there is a value in cryogenic research?
āIt seems a pretty rational thing for people to do if they can afford it,ā he says. āWhen you think about what life in the quite near future could be like, trying to store the information in your brain seems like a conservative option as opposed to burning the brain down and throwing it away. Unless you are really confident that the information will never be usefulā¦ā
I wonder at what point his transhumanist optimism gave way to his more nightmarish visions of superintelligence. He suggests that he has not really shifted his position, but that he holds the two possibilities ā the heaven and hell of our digital future ā in uneasy opposition.
āI wrote a lot about human enhancement ethics in the mid-90s, when it was largely rejected by academics,ā he says. āThey were always like, āWhy on earth would anyone want to cure ageing?ā They would talk about overpopulation and the boredom of living longer. There was no recognition that this is why we do any medical research: to extend life. Similarly with cognitive enhancement ā if you look at what I was writing then, it looks more on the optimistic side ā but all along I was concerned with existential risks too.ā
There seems an abiding unease that such enhancements ā pills that might make you smarter, or slow down ageing ā go against the natural order of things. Does he have a sense of that?
āIām not sure that I would ever equate natural with good,ā he says. āCancer is natural, war is natural, parasites eating your insides are natural. What is natural is therefore never a very useful concept to figure out what we should do. Yes, there are ethical considerations but you have to judge them on a case-by-case basis. You must remember I am a transhumanist. I want my life extension pill now. And if there were a pill that could improve my cognition by 10%, I would be willing to pay a lot for that.ā
Has he tried the ones that claim to enhance concentration?
āI have, but not very much. I drink coffee, I have nicotine chewing gum, but that is about it. But the only reason I donāt do more is that I am not yet convinced that anything else works.ā
He is not afraid of trying. When working, he habitually sits in the corner of his office surrounded by a dozen lamps, apparently in thrall to the idea of illumination.
Bostrom grew up an only child in the coastal Swedish town of Helsingborg. Like many gifted children, he loathed school. His father worked for an investment bank, his mother for a Swedish corporation. He doesnāt remember any discussion of philosophy ā or art or books ā around the dinner table. Wondering how he found himself obsessed with these large questions, I ask if he was an anxious child: did he always have a powerful sense of mortality?
āI think I had it quite early on,ā he says. āNot because I was on the brink of death or anything. But as a child I remember thinking a lot that my parents may be healthy now but they are not always going to be stronger or bigger than me.ā
That thought kept him awake at nights?
āI donāt remember it as anxiety, more as a melancholy sense.ā
And was that ongoing desire to live for ever rooted there too?
āNot necessarily. I donāt think that there is any particularly different desire that I have in that regard to anyone else. I donāt want to come down with colon cancer ā who does? If I was alive for 500 years who knows how I would feel? It is not so much fixated on immortality, just that premature death seems prima facie bad.ā
A good deal of his book asks questions of how we might make superintelligence ā whether it comes in 50 years or 500 years ā āniceā, congruent with our humanity. Bostrom sees this as a technical challenge more than a political or philosophical one. It seems to me, though, that a good deal of our own ethical framework, our sense of goodness, is based on an experience and understanding of suffering, of our bodies. How could a non-cellular intelligence ever ācomprehendā that?
āMost of the world is completely oblivious to the most major things that are going to happen in the 21st centuryā
āThere are a lot of things that machines canāt understand currently because they are not that smart,ā he says, ābut once they become so, I donāt think there would be any special difficulty in understanding human suffering and death.ā That understanding might be one way they could be taught to respect human value, he says. āBut it depends what your ethical theory is. It might be more about respecting othersā autonomy, or striving to achieve beautiful things together.ā Somehow, and he has no idea how really, he thinks those things will need to be hardwired from the outset to avoid catastrophe. It is no good getting your owl first then wondering how to train it. And with artificial systems already superior to the best human intelligence in many discrete fields, a conversation about how that might be done is already overdue.
The sense of intellectual urgency about these questions derives in part from what Bostrom calls an āepiphany experienceā, which occurred when he was in his teens. He found himself in 1989 in a library and picked up at random an anthology of 19th-century German philosophy, containing works by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. Intrigued, he read the book in a nearby forest, in a clearing that he used to visit to be alone and write poetry. Almost immediately he experienced a dramatic sense of the possibilities of learning. Was it like a conversion experience?
āMore an awakening,ā he says. āIt felt like I had sleepwalked through my life to that point and now I was aware of some wider world that I hadnāt imagined.ā
Following first the leads and notes in the philosophy book, Bostrom set about educating himself in fast forward. He read feverishly, and in spare moments he painted and wrote poetry, eventually taking degrees in philosophy and mathematical logic at Gothenburg university, before completing a PhD at the London School of Economics, and teaching at Yale.
Did he continue to paint and write?
āIt seemed to me at some point that mathematical pursuit was more important,ā he says. āI felt the world already contained a lot of paintings and I wasnāt convinced it needed a few more. Same could be said for poetry. But maybe it did need a few more ideas of how to navigate the future.ā
One of the areas in which AI is making advances is in its ability to compose music and create art, and even to write. Does he imagine that sphere too will quickly be colonised by a superintelligence, or will it be a last redoubt of the human?
āI donāt buy the claim that the artificial composers currently can compete with the great composers. Maybe for short bursts but not over a whole symphony. And with art, though it can be replicated, the activity itself has value. You would still paint for the sake of painting.ā
Authenticity, the man-made, becomes increasingly important?
Sunspring short written by artificial intelligence
This is what happens when an AI-written screenplay is made into a film
āYes and not just with art. If and when machines can do everything better than we can do, we would continue to do things because we enjoy doing them. If people play golf it is not because they need the ball to reside in successive holes efficiently, it is because they enjoy doing it. The more machines can do everything we can do the more attention we will give to these things that we value for their own sake.ā
Early in his intellectual journey, Bostrom did a few stints as a philosophical standup comic in order to improve his communication skills. Talking to him, and reading his work, an edge of knowing absurdity at the sheer scale of the problems is never completely absent from his arguments. The axes of daunting-looking graphs in his papers will be calibrated on closer inspection in terms of āendurableā, ācrushingā and āhellishā. In his introduction to Superintelligence, the observation āMany of the points made in this book are probably wrongā typically leads to a footnote that reads: āI donāt know which ones.ā Does he sometimes feel he is morphing into Douglas Adams?
āSometimes the work does seem strange,ā he says. āThen from another point it seems strange that most of the world is completely oblivious to the most major things that are going to happen in the 21st century. Even people who talk about global warming never mention any threat posed by AI.ā
Because it would dilute their message?
āMaybe. At any time in history it seems to me there can only be one official global concern. Now it is climate change, or sometimes terrorism. When I grew up it was nuclear Armageddon. Then it was overpopulation. Some are more sensible than others, but it is really quite random.ā
Bostromās passion is to attempt to apply some maths to that randomness. Does he think that concerns about AI will take over from global warming as a more imminent threat any time soon?
āI doubt it,ā he says. āIt will come gradually and seamlessly without us really addressing it.ā
If we are going to look anywhere for its emergence, Google, which is throwing a good deal of its unprecedented resources at deep learning technology (not least with its purchase in 2014 of the British pioneer DeepMind) would seem a reasonable place to start. Google apparently has an AI ethics board to confront these questions, but no one knows who sits on it. Does Bostrom have faith in its āDonāt be evilā mantra?
āThere is certainly a culture among tech people that they want to feel they are doing something that is not just to make money but that it has some positive social purpose. There is this idealism.ā
Can he help shape the direction of that idealism?
āIt is not so much that oneās own influence is important,ā he says. āAnyone who has a role in highlighting these arguments will be valuable. If the human condition really were to change fundamentally in our century, we find ourselves at a key juncture in history.ā And if Bostromās more nihilistic predictions are correct, we will have only one go at getting the nature of the new intelligence right.
Last year Bostrom became a father. (Typically his marriage is conducted largely by Skype ā his wife, a medical doctor, lives in Vancouver.) I wonder, before I go, if becoming a dad has changed his sense of the reality of these futuristic issues?
āOnly in the sense that it emphasises this dual perspective, the positive and negative scenarios. This kind of intellectualising, that our world might be transformed completely in this way, always seems a lot harder to credit at a personal level. I guess I allow both of these perspectives as much room as I can in my mind.ā
At the same time as he entertains those thought experiments, I suggest, half the world remains concerned where its next meal is coming from. Is the threat of superintelligence quite an elitist anxiety? Do most of us not think of the longest-term future because there is more than enough to worry about in the present?
āIf it got to the point where the world was spending hundreds of billions of dollars on this stuff and nothing on more regular things then one might start to question it,ā he says. āIf you look at all the things the world is spending money on, what we are doing is less than a pittance. You go to some random city and you travel from the airport to your hotel. Along the highway you see all these huge buildings for companies you have never heard of. Maybe they are designing a new publicity campaign for a razor blade. You drive past hundreds of these buildings. Any one of those has more resources than the total that humanity is spending on this field. We have half a floor of one building in Oxford, and there are two or three other groups doing what we do. So I think it is OK.ā
And how, I ask, might we as individuals and citizens think about and frame these risks to the existence of our species? Bostrom shrugs a little. āIf we are thinking of this very long time frame, then it is clear that very small things we do now can make a significant difference in that future.ā
A recent paper of Bostromās, which I read later at home, contains a little rule of thumb worth bearing in mind. Bostrom calls it āmaxipokā. It is based on the idea that āthe objective of reducing existential risks should be a dominant consideration whenever we act out of an impersonal concern for humankind as a whole.ā What does maxipok involve? Trying to āmaximise the probability of an āOK outcomeā where an OK outcome is any outcome that avoids existential catastrophe.ā
It certainly sounds worth a go.
This article was amended on 13 June 2016. An earlier version said that an open letter signed by eminent scientists was a direct result of Bostromās book, rather than a coincidence.

I'm not sure if i've ever suffered an existential crisis on the level that this man is currently having to deal with. Sure, I've had some strange notions from time to time but this guy's desperation at his inability to tell his lovely lady that they aren't really lovers and are, in fact, just stencils is somewhat heartbreaking. Life can be tough, can't it?
It's a very different experience painting outside in winter compared to summer. It's freezing cold, wet and windy and you have to finish by 4pm as it's pitch black.
No sooner had we got our stencil up and begun applying the very expensive UV reactive white paint to the boards that the rain sweeps in and washes it all straight off. What fun.
Our idea was to paint the boards up so they'd look good in normal light but would really kick when you put UV light on them. Despite the inclement conditions we eventually prevailed. Albeit a day later than planned...
Cheers

As it says on the Photographer's Gallery site:
In the period following World War I, a curious attraction appeared at fairgrounds: the photographic shooting gallery. If the punterās bullet hit the centre of the target, this triggered a camera. Instead of winning a balloon or toy, the participant would win a snapshot of him or herself in the act of shooting.
The exhibition included a replica of this fairground setup where - for an additional fiver - you got a print inserted into the target you'd shot at (if you hit the bull's eye with one of your four pellets). Took me two goes, one lunchtime in December. A worryingly satisfying thing to be able to do.
(Not sure why I've had a hiatus in posting stuff, but I hope to start wading through the backlog any day now.)

A book that I bought from the discarded stack of the library. Someone had torn out several pages and I got it for a euro.
= = = = =
Who am land where do I come from? And how
do people construct and transform their identity.
Igor Sevcuk's films try to answer these and similar
existential questions. Ten years ago he fled to the
Netherlands from Bosnia. He may be a stranger
here, but even in his homeland, Sevcuk feit alien.
His forebears we re from the Ukraine. Sevcuk's
grandmother was imbued in the culture of her
parents and although none of his family has even
been to the Ukraine, everyone knew what it
means to be Ukrainian.
During the period spent working for the Prix de
Rome, Sevcuk returned to his birthplace in Bosnia.
He filmed his parents' house and the environment
he grew up in. In the film, we meet his grandmother,
singing a song in an unknown language in the living
room. "Language is all to do with identity", says
Sevcuk. "My film is about a language that is almost
never used and that symbolises a distant, elusive
originality. The film shows how the language
gradually loses its meaning."
Igor Sevcuk's films are typified by an al most
documentary style. He lets the camera glide
through the interior of the flat, pausing at
interesting details. Dialogues are interspersed
with atmospheric impressions of the landscape.
His rough filming style leaves room for viewers'
own interpretations. Sevcuk takes you into his
world but deliberately avoids telling finished
stories. "Someone's memories have no clear
beginning or end. This film is about more than just
my own family history. I've also tried to touch on
universal issues surrounding identity."
In many ways, Igor Sevcuk is a painter. He only
started experimenting with moving images a few
years ago. But he never completely forgets his
background as apainter. Sevcuk has an eye for
balanced compositions and unusual perspectives.
Both in his films and his paintings, there is little
use of colour. Sevcuk: "I love the dramatic con-
trasts and raw aesthetic of black and white
images. Colours are anecdotal and, in my opinion,
unnecessary because they don't play an important
role in memories."
The probing and personal way in which Igor
Sevcuk portraits his family's everyday life is
reminiscent of the work of the English artist
Richard Billingham. His rudimentary filming style
closely parallels he style of Dogma films like Festen
and The ldiots. Sometimes the images are jolting
or poorly lit. "I deliberately choose a primitive
filming and editing style", explains Sevcuk. 'Tm
not interesting in making glossy images. The most
important thing is to communicate a feeling."
The poetic visuallanguage af Sevcuks' film is
much appreeiated by the jury. The ertist preƮers bis
own pure, personet filming style io editing and
shooiinƧ conventlans. The members af the jury are
impressed by his exptoreiion af the theme af
identity in layered images. His work is sensiiive,
weil thouƧht-oui, and demands etiention: the [ilm's
rich symbolism is camplex and nat easily deciphered.
The jury awards Igor Sevcuk the [irst prize af twenty
thausand euros.

Accelerating Development in an Age of Global Crisis
The existential threat of climate change, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, persistent high inflation and increased fragility have injected volatility and uncertainty into the global economy ā a reality that may continue for a while. The panel of speakers explore central questions around what it will take to address some of the most critical issues of our time including climate change, food insecurity, pandemics, and increasing fragility and poverty.
