at the sound of your voice

And I would behead myself

“Some people—like the engineers and executives of high-tech corporations—are way ahead of politicians and voters and are better informed than most of us about the development of AI, cryptocurrencies, social credits, and the like. Unfortunately, most of them don’t use their knowledge to help regulate the explosive potential of the new technologies. Instead, they use it to make billions of dollars—or to accumulate petabits of information. There are exceptions, like Audrey Tang. She was a leading hacker and software engineer who in 2014 joined the Sunflower Student Movement, which protested against government policies in Taiwan. The Taiwanese cabinet was so impressed by her skills that Tang was eventually invited to join the government as its minister of digital affairs. In that position, she helped make the government’s work more transparent to citizens. She was also credited with using digital tools to help Taiwan successfully contain the COVID-19 outbreak. Yet Tang’s political commitment and career path are not the norm. For every computer-science graduate who wants to be the next Audrey Tang, there are probably many more who want to be the next Jobs, Zuckerberg, or Musk and build a multibillion-dollar corporation rather than become an elected public servant. This leads to a dangerous information asymmetry. The people who lead the information revolution know far more about the underlying technology than the people who are supposed to regulate it.”

“Your love
ended because of you,
the unforgettable words of your sentences
echoed in your breakups.
Whereas I am a miserable sunflower,
why did my love end;
was not it me who fell in sun,
who looked at it sun after sun.
As time passed, I was filled with it,
I did not know time would be the end of me;
the merciful beam of the sun
got lacking on my face.
Why did the moon come between us
why was the sun eclipsed,
I know that
your breakups
happened because of you;
who decided
our end though.”
― Mehmet Çil, a Painting a Poem
