--1.3.2+++ {11}

The obvious example of web search results hardly satisfy as intersubjective discourse, however; messages arising from the technological nonconscious are at best the residual traces of Socratesƒ divine sign. Reflecting from earliest fantasies, AI history, literary and cinematic portrayals, Derridean textuality, to electracy and electronic literature, and engaged by explicit literary and humanities undertakings employing psychoanalytic, deformative, and algorithmic criticism, I will be asking what forms were we expecting? How would we reasonably detect, and treat as natural language conversation couched in embodied perception, any genuine response from the Big Other in our machines?

I argue that we must learn to relax the biochauvanistic striations upon which such communicative anticipations flow. Taking embodiment seriously entails that humans may have to develop attunement to machinic habits, such as high speed, cyclic operations, protocols, and ingestion of countless algorithms. Before it happens, human consciousness may have to evolve towards what Jaron Lanier calls dreaming in code, a form of post-symbolic communication heavily invested in cyborg infrastructure (Rosenberg). If this is hard to imagine now, what about in forty years, when most of us will be elderly brains living out our final years in virtual realities?

The danger flashes in craft lacking relatedness, which is just busywork, so the hardest work is that of the teacher, who must be capable of being more teachable than the apprentices. (15) Without that relateness, the craft will never be anything but empty busywork, any occupation with it will be determined exclusively by business concerns. Every handicraft, all human dealings are constantly in that danger.

Dispatch into criticism of poorly informed philosopher from technical perspective mitigated in fourth edition by participation (voice, as she puts it) of Keith Miller illuminates importance of versions at level of human texts.

Need to reconsider fundamental problems of texts and textuality; his role is to write one more book, mine is to probe these questions by working code. (19) These kinds of issues wonƒt be usefully engaged without reconsidering certain fundamental problems of texts and textuality.
