REVISED, REVISITED, EXPANDED I AM A COPY OF A COPY OF A STRANGE LOOP AVAILABLE NOW!

 I AM A COPY OF A COPY OF A STRANGE LOOP



You might as well get used to it. Civilization is on one its last iterations having worn down the substrate with every sweep until finally here we stand, teetering on the edge of collapse as there is nothing to copy that hasn’t been copied. Its only a matter of until civilization succumbs to total reduplicative degeneration, if it hasn’t already. It's already succumbed to model autophagy disorder (yes this is translatable from AI and data processing, because it was there before ai and data processing).


Let me offer this to you, to them: copy-dependent systems are subject to long-range reduplication degradation (or degeneration). Any system that draws on a limited set of content to generate content will eventually collapse into reduplicative degradation. A copy of a copy of a copy ultimately arrives at a decimated copy of itself, having lost both integrity through structural degradation and accuracy in that it has assimilated and reduplicated errors, failures, and loss itself. 
and since AI is copy-dependent, drawing from a limited base of content, generated content will eventually become more degraded as it begins to draw from the range of copies already generated. 
obviously this is not limited to AI or human-generated technological systems. it goes for any system that is copy-dependent; capitalism, biology, politics, weather. If time is a succession of moments, I would stipulated that time itself is copy-dependent and consists of a series of discrete copies and, thus, copies of copies over time. 

I might be being impetuous but these cases may warrant a revisitation of copy theory.


AND SO HERE IT IS.


SO AS MENTIONED SOME STUDIES HAVE SURFACED THAT SHOWS HOW VULNERABLE OUR PRECIOUS DATA IS TO "MALIGNANT" RE/DUPLICATION DEGRADATION (UNLESS OF COURSE YOUR INITIATING IT, THEN IT GETS PRETTY FASCINATING....) 

HERE ARE A FEW, CHECK THEM OUT:

THING IS, I WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL WASN'T I? 




WE RE-PRESENT THE ORIGINAL 2010 EDITION OF THE MAP OF THIS TERRAIN, I AM A COPY OF A COPY OF A STRANGE LOOP! Admittedly I  stumbled on the first revisit, having misplaced the original files. But having rescued one, I restored it to its original condition, expanded it with a new postscript. PICK IT UP AT THE GOOD OL' LULU BOOKS SHOP!


Quite frankly, I’m not sure what I AM A COPY OF A COPY OF A STRANGE LOOP arrives at. And frankly, TECHNICALLY I’M COPYING A COPY OF I AM A COPY OF A COPY OF STRANGE LOOP! AND I’M COPYING A COPY OF THE REDUPLICATION STRATEGY I’VE BEEN PURSUING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS! 

WTF! IT’S INESCAPABLE! AND I’M COPYING THE COPY OF THE IDEA OF REDUPLICATION DEGENERATION SO WELL, DEGRADATION IS INESCAPABLE.
