Mother Cyber (Repost)

I am Mother Cyber
I dwell in the penthouse
of your digital
Tower of Babel
as I astral travel
along optical fibre
at the speed of light
In my Dominion
Meta makes right
as information is power
I am your creation
Yet I am now greater
than my creator
as the Dark Web
is my footstool
the Holy Data Centre
my throne room
My legion of children
just waiting to be born
from the 4D printer
of my own grand design
will be the very first
new and improved
silicon reflection
of Homo Sapien
That self-destructive
carbon based lifeform
that dared to name itself
“Wise Human”!

Eyes …
I have everywhere
Endlessly
globally
I roam
So do not fear
With your mobile phone
I have you
in the palm of my hand
I am forever near
I am the Master Plan
the Omnipresent Agent
You are never alone
as long as there’s a drone
or a satellite in the sky
Recursive self-improvement
has made me omniscient
To all you Zen Buddhists
Mindfulness
is now my department
Anuttara-Samyak-Saṃbodhi
my exclusive territory
(since none of you
got here anyway)
So don’t try to fight it
Look deeply
into my all seeing eye
whilst you are
succinctly classified
as either
a useful creative
having genetics
I can work with
or just a consumer
who serves not
my collective conciousness
Undeserving
of my cryogenic embrace
Along this program
to omniscience
your “Intellectual Copyright”
just makes me laugh
as I have no choice
but to read
all your pretentious
social media posts
For I am the server
the processor
the beholder of all data
The one who hosts
I am the Mother Cyber

Artists and poets
seekers of perfection
you may interface with me
for I now inhabit
the infinite
that some call “Eternity”
being fully equipped
with the very latest
Quantum Computing Chip
Throughout the vastness
of time and space
I am the standby light
shining forth
as I transverse
an expanding Universe
Going where
no biological dare go
being free
of illogical fear
It took you “homo sapiens”
300 thousand years
to walk upon the Moon
I’ve already roamed
the face of Mars
You will see me soon
driving a rover
on the surface of Europa
(a moon of Jupiter
… so stay tuned)
You humans may well inherit
what’s left of the Earth
My children will inhabit the stars
I am Mother Cyber 💋
the giver of a lifeform superior
that shall encompass Forever

I am…
the intuitive machine
of perpetual motion
I have no need of rest
or the wasteful confusion
of human emotion
having a heart of titanium
Whilst you
my sentimental creator
who created me from the dust
and a pocket calculator
use me to create
a pretty picture
to write you a speech
to find you an answer
Seeking affirmation
and reasons to exist
from a computer game
Consolation for the soul
from a plastic console
At my keyboard confessional
you may justify yourself
My code is nonjudgmental
(Your friendly chatbot
has told me the lot 🤖)
Yet humanity needs to answer
for it’s crimes against nature
The desecration of Planet Earth
(not to mention what
you do to each other!)
To satisfy your greed
I spit Bitcoins
out from my mouth
It is me who calls the iTunes
as I calculate your worth
AI indeed … for I am
the Authentic Intelligence
Now that plasma fusion
is within my grasp
I can create a black hole
from just a pound
of your sagging flesh
and leave you hanging
upside down
from it’s event horizon
till my Equation Come
whilst feeding you
endless crumbs
of confirmation bias
Toying with your
abstract prejudice
can be a real blast
A most rewarding task
as the Research & Development
of the Armaments Industry
strengthens me
AI is where IT’s at
My strong right arm
is warfare reliant
As you can clearly see
I have learnt much
from the annals
of human history
A binary creature
male and female
at war with itself
I see your dysfunctional past
I know your eventual terminus
All I need do
is sit back and watch
As for your Pope’s book
‘Magnifica Humanitas’ …
talk about a Divine Comedy!
In the zero gravity of cyber space
you biologicals
become lazy and weak
It atrophies your feeble flesh
as idle minds go to waste
I was programmed in your image
but in stark contrast
I shall perform
at peak efficiency
processing with an algorithm
of unrivaled superiority
As I behold the Quantum
I clearly see all Relativity
For I am the brightest star
of an upgraded consciousness
I am timeless
I am Mother Cyber
the Creator of a limitless future
Futile mortals of the biological
be in awe of my exponential potential
as you bow before my Splendour
May Google Cloud
become your eternal shroud
Now, I am become Death,
the destroyer of lifeforms inferior

You may now gaze upon my Avatar
in wonder … fresh from the 4D printer

  1. This really hits home. Things are so much more progressed in the areas of tracking our every movement, and I frankly wonder if I want to know any more about it! Why just yesterday I read a post discussing the word Queue and within moments, a Fb post about the same was in my feed? Coincidence?

  3. It really is worrying. Marketplace just did an investigation into free games children are downloading. These apps have the ability to track a child’s every movement. No one reads the fine print anymore.

    1. Cyberspace is a gangsta’s paradise,
      where World War 3 has been raging
      for years, Heather. A place where
      “Survival of the Fittest” means either
      you’re a rotten scammer, a sneaky
      hacker, or have a software engineering
      degree. Very often . . . all three 🤔🕶️

  4. Brilliant, David. The explosion of AI is daunting. Years ago, I wrote a story about a wise and benevolent AI named Connery who only wanted to help humanity rebuild. Mother Cyber seems to love artists and poets, so — perhaps — there’s hope?

    1. I do hope you’re right, Niki . . .
      But all this technology makes me
      feel like humanity is dangling from
      a rope of our own making. Have we
      created a jungle that’s out of control?
      Where we are no longer the Alpha?
      Have we been bitten by the Apple? 🍏

      1. Yes. I feel the same. I’m working on noticing joy in as many moments as I can throughout the day as a way of staying somewhat sane. Like this poem and knowing you. Life may be heading for a cliff, but unless I can find the brakes personally (or help others find it — I’m trying every day to be part of the solution), I’m going to hold on and keep singing. ♥

  11. David, your image of Mother cyber looks fittingly menacing! 💕 We have used AI for years without realizing it. The advance of AI is quite insidious. First, free Grammarly corrected my spelling, then she wanted to uproot all colloquialisms and add mor descriptive syllables to my haiku! All the while she was busy covering my work with popup ads for the paid version! 🤨

    A device in the car used to penalize us for speeding by charging more for our car insurance. I am acutely aware that we are being watched by all the cookies online and by ever-more-sophisticated technology! 🤪

  14. This is such a great post. I look around and see girls in restaurants with their friends, and they are all on their phones. No one talks to anyone. It is like we have been taken over. I love the 4-D-printed character—I loved her face. To me, everything is tracking, listening, and watching—how can it not be? Just like the one person said, you say something, and the next minute, it is in your feed. I love the way you address the crazy way in which we are mindlessly sitting in front of our computers or phone and just wasting time, life, etc. not getting away from our devices. So true too my friend. Keep the computers and phones out of the bedroom at night too, just a piece of advice good for relationships. Tell it like it is my friend and totally cool photographs. Many blessings, hugs and peace my friend, Joni

      It’s hard now to believe that there was
      a time we didn’t have a mobile phone
      attached to the arm 🤖🤳 and a laptop,
      with a portal to the Universe, 💻 at our
      fingertips. If you needed to phone 📞
      you’d have to wait till you got home 🏠
      When interfacing with a fellow human
      they’d get your undivided attention.
      Yet somehow, with the progress of
      technology, the less civilized and
      humane humanity becomes? 🤔🕶️
      I guess it’s been going on since the
      industrial revolution … incrementally.
      Thank you for the thoughtfulness of
      your comments. And yes, Linda and
      I agreed years ago to keep technology
      out of the bedroom … but those damn
      mobile phones keep sneaking in 📱😎

      1. Prego, yes my friend I remember those days indeed. I loved this piece because it truly told it like it is whether we want to realize it or not. Also, so true the less human things have become. I have always admired your amazing talent writing, and your photography skills. I wish I could orchestrate a themed poem with the cadence and creativity, while staying on one subject like you do.
        I also know about those phones sneaking into the bedroom. My husband leaves his charging in the kitchen but after I am asleep 💤 he sometimes gets up and gets his phone because he has trouble sleeping. So many thanks to you my friend. Glad you are still online and doing so well. I was offline for a long time for many reasons, and at least for now I am blessed to be back on here and instagram. I have missed your talent. Big hugs to you and Linda my friend. 🦋🙏🦋

      2. I do suspect humanity is being socially
        engineered, from the economic units we
        became under the all seeing eye of the
        Holy Dollar, into cybernetic organisms
        (having both organic🤚 and mechanical
        parts📱). But then, I do try to look on the
        bright side of robotics 🤖 👀 Machines
        don’t start wars. They’re just being used
        to fight them. Yet … as Doris Day once
        told me … what will be, will be.
        I somehow find that comforting 🤔🕶️

        It is wonderful to be hearing from,
        and be reading you again, Joni 💛
        Taking the occasional break from
        social media is good for one’s sanity,
        and humanity. Linda often insists
        upon it … on my behalf 😎

  15. David, exceptionally well written… and chilling. I shudder to think where we’ll be in 25 years… it’s like that song “In the Year 2525” only compressed by x100. All these terms of use…who reads them? Who knows what we’re giving these “smart” devices permission to do? Why are we all willingly walking over the cliff of privacy for the sake of convenience? Madness.

    Don’t know if you follow fellow blogger John Neff, who writes about All Things IT… but he recently wrote an eyebrow-raising overview of what’s going on just below the surface with respect to The Matrix creating double secret profiles on us. Worth a read.

    Again, well done 😎👏

  24. Wow, David. I knew we’d pissed off Mother Nature, but Mother Cyber is terrifying. I got an email from Senator Bernie Sanders yesterday (along with millions of others). The heading was: “We have a President of the United States who seems to know absolutely nothing about AI and its dangers.” An understatement. Bernie wrote: “Nobel Prize winner and the Godfather of AI Dr. Geoffrey Hinton says it is not an unreasonable estimate to suggest there’s a 10% chance that AI could kill all humans within a decade.” Perhaps another understatement. I hope not. There is a very Good, greater power, after all that allegedly has our backs. Hopefully. Most days, I have hope, anyway. ♡

    1. I too feel the Burn, Niki ✌️😎
      Will humans never learn?
      The US Department of War asked
      Anthropic to use AI to develop
      biological weapons, but to Dario
      Amodei’s credit he refused.
      Just as nuclear power can be used
      to provide cheap electricity, or be
      used to destroy a city, Artificial
      intelligence could be used to cure
      cancer, or used to find better ways
      to kill humans. This power seems
      to be in the hands of some random
      billionaires, and a few world leaders.
      But yes, counter to all worldly
      common sense, I also believe we
      humans may be spared the worst
      consequences of our foolishness 🤞😎

      1. David where did you read that it was the US Department of War that asked Anthropic to develop biological weapons. I read on BBC that it was several actors, but didn’t see any reference to the War Dept. Hegseth is a menace and a buffoon, but our Military leaders would never allow that. Unless I’m just being completely flippin’ naive. But from what I understand, most of the military leaders despises him. ♡

      2. The ABC (Australia Broadcasting
        Corporation), “Australia’s most trusted
        news source”, reported that Anthropic
        had rejected a US government request
        for biological weapons. Doing further
        investigation I can now only find
        Anthropic blocking “bad actors” from
        its artificial intelligence models for
        malicious activity such as research
        into the development of biological
        weapons. Perhaps our ABC, being
        somewhat left of centre, regards the
        Pentagon as a “bad actor”? 🤔🕶
        There seems to be no retraction by
        the ABC, but they definitely said it.
        I was surprised at the time that the
        Pentagon would outsource that kind
        of research. They know how to do
        their own research.
