Algorithm Quotes

“It’s estimated that AI could free up to 25% of clinician time across different specialties. This increased amount of time could mean less hurried encounters and more humane interactions, including more empathy from happier doctors. This is important because empathy has been shown to improve outcomes by boosting patient adherence to the prescribed treatments, increasing motivation, and reducing anxiety and stress.”
― Ronald M. Razmi, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Guide for Users, Buyers, Builders, and Investors

“The embroiling algorithm of happiness may leave many people bewildered or lost in translation while they snubbingly fall back on the smartphone, as a shield against intrusions from the outer world. ("Even if the world goes down, my mobile will save me")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Fake Math owes its existence to a number of things and people who have inspired and assisted this book on its way into the world.”

“Age of AI (The Sonnet)

Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms
grow bigger, and minds get smaller,
where freedom is the new prison,
character retreats as cave dweller.

Welcome to the age of AI,
where deceit is the new creativity,
where hate is a human right,
malinformation is a legal industry.

Welcome to the age of AI,
where algorithms are still nonsentient,
but so are the people that use them,
mindlessness is trend of the new sapiens.

Welcome to the age of AI, where global goals
are still a dream, only more distant.
Prove me wrong - I beg of you -
Stand up and behave, a proper Sapiens!”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Tech giants of today suffer from the worst kind of handicap of all, lack of human perspective. Till you treat this common coldness, all innovation is mere fancy gimmick.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“AI will not replace you, but those using AI will - thus goes the AI commercial! Here's what'll actually happen, AI will not destroy the world, but frauds using AI will.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“If you scroll long enough,
your phone will become your grave.
In the name of telecommunication,
algorithms generate the new stoneage.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“It's not enough to abandon archaic chains,
just as crucial is to renounce modern chains.
No matter the material and manufacture date,
golden, bronze or silicon, chains are chains.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Twit & Trash (The Sonnet)

There is nothing more cataclysmic than
a sea of unarmed citizens out for justice -
even the richest oligarchic leeches,
armed with billions of robots, tanks
and satellites, would crumble like twigs.

Born to privilege, most tech giants are tech trash,
loaded with more nuts than the Enigma machine.
In the salacious pursuit of the silicon dream,
these nutters are the antithesis of Tesla and Turing.

Tech giants are giants by the will of people,
takes less than a month to bankrupt their worth.
Any giant who thinks they are above the people,
are the puniest form of termites on earth.

Clockwork mice and clockwork minds both can
run great distances with no sense of why?
Children of earth still sleep without food,
yet colonizer kids are headed for the sky!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Little Planet on The Prairie: Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim

“Data is power.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What's the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Using copyrighted material without consent to train commercial AI models, is like robbing a bank to start a business.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Technology will take us far, far and farther, until it dumps us back where we came from, in the caves, but of concrete ruins. We will once again fight with spears and axes, made of broken bits of chips and circuit boards. Silicon, lithium, gold, all will be worthless, apes will barter again with sheep and boars.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Yesterday's world was obsessed with swords,
today's world is obsessed with guns,
tomorrow's world will be obsessed with AI,
and it always ends up with death and destruction.

Day after tomorrow it'll be business as usual,
savage world will be back obsessing with fire,
then again with swords, then guns, and so on,
till the sky pours ashes and seas boil over.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Swords, Guns and AI

Technology will take us far, far
and farther, until it dumps us
back where we came from, in the
caves, but of concrete ruins.

We will once again fight with
spears and axes, made of broken
bits of chips and circuit boards.
Silicon, lithium, gold, all will
be worthless, apes will barter
again with sheep and boars.

Yesterday's world was obsessed with swords,
today's world is obsessed with guns,
tomorrow's world will be obsessed with AI,
and it always ends up with death and destruction.

Day after tomorrow it'll be business as usual,
savage world will be back obsessing with fire,
then again with swords, then guns, and so on,
till the sky pours ashes and seas boil over.”

“Technology is inevitable, AI is inevitable - first it's basic algorithm, now it's Generative AI, later it's AI agents, afterwards, physical AI. And we can do nothing about it, what we can do is, make sure that the step-up for AI is not a step-down for humans - we gotta make sure that as machines are upgraded from lifeless devices to automatons with pretend-sentience, human mind isn't downgraded to obsolescence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“We can make a separate space for AI art, but AI trash passed as human art, is an abomination of creativity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“The selective outrage follows longstanding patterns of neglect and normalizes anti-Blackness as the weather, as
Christina Sharpe notes, whereas non-Black suffering is treated as a disaster.”
― Ruha Benjamin, Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code

“In ultima analisi, la questione non è come sfuggire all'Ipnocrazia - impresa impossibile nell'epoca della mediazione totale - ma come mantenere viva, all'interno del sistema stesso, la possibilità di una presenza diversa. Non una presenza puramente resistente, eternamente reattiva, ma una presenza creativa, capace di generare nuove forme di vita negli interstizi del controllo algoritmico.”
― Jianwei Xun, Ipnocrazia. Trump, Musk e la nuova architettura della realtà

“An hour of machine learning may foster more knowledge than centuries worth of human curiosity, but a moment of human memory contains more life than a trillion terabytes of machine memory.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“When the only people in your life who care about your feelings, remember special dates, and stand by you through your failures, are not people, but algorithms, that too not by affection, but by automation, that's not advancement, it's the beginning of the end.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“Don’t let algorithms decide your authenticity.”
― Chidi Ejeagba

“Every time we go online to enjoy the services of these algorithms, we have no option but to cut a Faustian deal with their owners. To use the personalized services that algorithms provide, we must submit to a business model based on the harvesting of our data, the tracking of our activity, the invisible curating of our content.

Once we have submitted to this, the algorithm goes into the business of selling things to us while selling our attention to others. At that point, something more profound kicks in, which gives the algorithm's owners immense power to predict our behaviours, to guide our preferences, to influence our decisions, to change our minds, to thereby reduce us to their unpaid servants whose job is to provide our information, our attention, our identity, and above all, the patterns of behaviour that train their algorithms.”
― Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism

“AI without ethics is hollow, innovation without wisdom is dangerous. Progress without humanity is regression, abundance without awareness is derangement.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Представи си, че решаваш с генетичен алгоритъм задачата за търговския пътник. Натъпкваш индивидите със случайни правила и ги пускаш да еволюират. А те как преживяват това? Те си мислят с кого да се кръстосат, ядосват се, когато съседът им изяде ресурсите, някои загиват, други оцеляват. Цяла трагедия древногръцка. А не разбират, че смисълът на техния така наречен живот е да решат — при това не поотделно, а колективно, цялата популация — задачата за търговския пътник. И нищо друго. Но в мисленето си те са ограничени в ядене, размножаване и толкова. Това е за тях смисълът. А ти ги гледаш отгоре като дядо господ как се суетят…
— Май нещо като системна теология се получава — чеше се по главата Сидорчук. — Някой ни е програмирал, на седмия ден е задал гранични условия и ни е пуснал да му решаваме задачата. За търговски пътник или за обхождане на N-мерна шахматна дъска с ход на коня, слона и верблюда. И сега ние смятаме нещо, а Програмистът ни зяпа отгоре и се чуди кога ще свършваме. А ние преживяваме, конкурираме се за пари и жени, водим войни — обикновени, валутни и хуманитарни…”

“It’s a modern necessity to own a phone, but to be owned by the phone is a modern sickness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“You don't need your wrist to ping,
you don't need your glasses to ping,
you don't need your rear end to ping,
you don't need your genitals to ping -

ping after ping after ping after ping,
and you wonder, why on earth are you so anxious,
why on earth you feel like you’re walking on eggshells,
why on earth you're consumed by foreboding!

That's what abundance does to the brain,
when you own more materials than sense -
that's what happens when instant dopamine is
religiously prioritized over genuine human bond.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“We prefer a world where human decisions propel our species forward, where we choose the actions that lead to staying relevant. If we do not, our C-suites might find themselves replaced by an A-suite of algorithms.”
