Could the title be perhaps the inspiration for the "Self Models of Loving Grace" presentation by Joscha Bach in last year's CCC? https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-se

- labrador 1y agoGood find. That's really interesting. I would guess the titles are related. I want to also mention that with "Bachlorette" Björk seems to anticipate Large Language Models and wrote a cautionary tale about them: “One day I found a big book buried deep in the ground. I opened it, but all the pages were blank. Then, to my surprise, it started writing itself: 'One day, I found a big book buried deep in the ground…’” björk : bachelorette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJv-Ebi67I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJv-Ebi67I

- arduanika 1y agoYes, that's absolutely the allusion. Brautigan's line is a popular title for stuff, including a widely read post by Dario Amodei two months before the CCC talk you've linked: https://www.darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace https://www.darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace And it's also the title of an Adam Curtis documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Watched_Over_by_Machines_of_Loving_Grace_(TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Watched_Over_by_Machines_o... It's a good line.
- detreatsie 1y agoIt was certainly the inspiration for the Adam Curtis mini-series of the same name. This presentation sounds interesting. Thanks for the link.
