"“Gamer” is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game “Slayers,” allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death. Kable(Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the ultraviolent “Slayers.” Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week."

The semweb treats language as code, words are assigned variables and scoped within a function. And yet it uses words like 'semantic' and 'ontology' to disguise the radical contraction/reduction of the world around us.
- Cliff Gerrish
"It" the SemWeb doesn't use words. People use the words semantic and ontology to describe particular aspects of a relational data formats. I don't understand by what authority you're contesting the use of these terms, certainly not by rational argument.
- Igor Goldkind
Sorry, the SemWebber's use these words to disguise the shallowness of their offering....
- Cliff Gerrish
Shallow to whom, precisely? Certainly not to the American Physics Society who have just adopted semantic standards to further the open access o their published data. `If even fraction of your aspersions against all thing semantic had any merit, do you really think its adoption of it standards and terminology would be so widespread? I still think your problem is one of vocabulary, not substance
- Igor Goldkind
Widespread? I guess I don't understand how you're using that word.
- Cliff Gerrish
Just Google it. You'll find something akin to 5,000 separate entries that link to the standards and aspects of Semantic web development one near the top being the link toYahoo's Head of Product Development announcing Yahoo's support and adoption of semantic standards both microformats and RDFa. I don't know know how wider an adoption you can measure beyond Google, Yahoo, Bing, Reuters, NYT, Whitehouse, Opengov etc. etc. The contesting of semantic adoption tis a little late in it wish fulfillment.
- Igor Goldkind
Wow. 5,000. That's a big number.
- Cliff Gerrish
It's allot more than that, but then your definition of widespread is going to be secular and shifty. It's a mute argument; if semantic was redundant you wouldn't bother being in this discussion.
- Igor Goldkind
Cliff defining 'widespread' as being likely to be "secular and shifty"? ...hmmm, there's definitely a major 'semantic' problem underlying that prognostication.
- Simon Edhouse
If it's a bigger number than 5,000 -- then what is it?
- Cliff Gerrish
5,001

So, it's an upward trend - from an insignificant number to an insignificant number +1

Digital Big Mac Signals the End of Photography - http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009...
HealingBrush, Will Higgins™, Michael Fidler and 12 other people liked this
This video of a Big Mac, fries, and soda, starts out like food porn — sumptuous photography, shallow depth of field, etc. — but like in the Matrix, the simulation starts to break down, revealing that the fast food is entirely digitally rendered. It was easier to make the video using computers than shooting it live. Bruce Branit, of Branit|vfx, wrote: "We used photo modeling techniques from a real photograph of a Big Mac and the the fries. The fry box, Dr. Pepper, ice, bubbles, smoke, straw, environment, etc are all entirely CGI. The real reason to do this spot as CGI was to be able to choreograph the camera move in limited time and budget."

I thought using non-obvious fakes in place of your real product amounted to false advertising and created liability issues for the advertiser. I also thought there was some law stating that products depicted in advertising must be the product being advertised, and if substituted with a fake, the fake must be very obvious to be a fake. In other words, Hershey's chocolate syrup...

It saves money on the adhesives, paint and varnish they use to make the food look good in pictures. No offense intended to the real-food photographers out there, of course :-)

I think it has a lot to do with people not balancing enough between 'in person' and 'on line'. The semblance of protection behind a computer screen can easily evolve into a bubble - so that we forget that we are talking to real people. Very often I have received comments which I know that person would not say to my face. I think it's all part of us training up in the use of new media.
- sofiagk
damn - you guys updated in Turkish before I could hit 'Post' - sorry to butt-in in English. :-)
- sofiagk
@Ex Instance :-) well, all I am saying is that humanity is not socially accustomed to dealing with people from a distance - so rules and beliefs like for example 'you don't say to anyone "i hope you die" to their face' somehow evaporate when we are behind a computer. We are under the impression we speak to an avatar I guess. I don't think this will go on forever, I think more exposure to this distributed and deterritorialised way of communication will set new rules and ethics.

well, what happened was this http://ff.im/5HTkH. I also agree that people tend to say things online that they would never say in real life. They forget that they're talking to other people.

(also, google has a turkish to english translator that can help you when you wonder what we're talking about :))

the original article: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive...
- Wildcat
I can't possibly agree to the base idea, the main issue should be advanced forms of filtering,tagging and a comprehensive semantic engine. innovation+creativity in this respect can and should be fostered by walking a fine borderline, unique perspective vs. collaborative understanding
- Wildcat
The answer to the title is NO. This is still coming from the premise that there are these creative geniuses that, after deep thinking, come up with something brilliant whereas innovation, I'm sure, nowadays comes from groups of creative people, loosly interconnected, that openly share their ideas and then someone happens to put formerly unconnected things together in a innovative way... But maybe I do not really understand this whining argument ;-)
- Mushin Schilling
I think the article points to some valid phenomena, but yes, I sense that the underlying assumption, i.e. that "groupthink" is "bad", may be off the mark. I can see how networking might act to slow innovation or make it more difficult for one person's great idea to take hold. But is slower, group-driven innovation a bad thing? Evolution has done a pretty good job at that so far. ;)
- Grey Drane
I also like the idea of using different social networks for different spheres of contacts, but perhaps what's missing from this part of the equation is the fact that you can also trawl the broader statstream and so aren't just limited to the ideas of your peers. That and tools to visualize the interrelationships between the various spheres to, for example, unite your work & personal lives -- while keeping them separate -- as a way, in itself, of driving innovation. But such tools seem to be largely missing.
- Grey Drane
Well "networking... make it more difficult for one person's great idea to take hold" - yes, that's possible; and also it might actually speed it up because it is a mutually encouraging network? I think what is really underestimated here is what happens if intelligent and heart-driven people interact, network, group... And also I would second the ideas about evolutions wonderful process of selecting what's good for the larger whole.
- Mushin Schilling
For me the twitterverse is a great 'tool' to cross-connect me; still, obviously I'll insist on a basic underlying alignment otherwise it won't function.

the point of course is that "underlying alignment" is the most difficult and demanding work, creating a resonant meta-concurrence is the necessary element to make the whole thing work.

Yes Wildcat, surely - and I think that is what we're called to do: co-create and nourish this "underlying alignment" again and again and again until it becomes the new gulf-stream of the collective heartmind & thanks for the links...

"I" is probably the greatest delusion of all. Concepts are useful as long as they are perceived as such, as abstractions used to communicate reality within reality, not as the true nature of reality itself, not as equals but as part of it.
- Alexander Kruel
the fact that the 'self' or 'I' as a coherent entity is a delusion/illusion myth and so on, does not detract from its usefulness in matters of conceptual description demanding a 'so-called' inner relational spatio-temproal inwardness. we will eventually outgrow this.. :-)
- Wildcat
The concept of the self is indeed one of - if not the most - important concept there is to conceive. It is the center of our consciousness, and without it we wouldn't understand the simplest of associations such as "I - Thirsy," or "I - Hungry." Nothing could exist for long without at least some conception that they are a single entity, and not just some unconscious rock that "is one" with the environment. Thanks for reading!
- Steven Handel
More important than time? I think a lot of life does not possess the concept of "I" but has a rudimentary perception of time.
- Alexander Kruel
Without the self who is there to experience time? It is only consciousness and the self that makes time perceptible.
- Steven Handel
Those self-parking cars have both. A perception of "I" and time :-)
- Alexander Kruel
Computers probably don't experience themselves as beings ( and thus don't have consciousness), so there actually wouldn't be a perception of "I" or time (although I realize you were just joking :) ). In fact, it is a mystery where consciousness comes from - a lot of Artificial Intelligence engineers think it is an emergent property of the complex inter-connection of mental faculties....

What is your definition of consciousness?
- Alexander Kruel
The ability to experience one's self as a single entity or being, and thus perceive one's self as ultimately some "separate" thing from the environment.
- Steven Handel
The definition is trickier though. It takes more analysis than just a single line. Consciousness,to me, is just synonymous with experience. And experience implies a conception of self, there needs to be some "thing" to do the experiencing. Without the concept of "self" present in mind - one would experience one-ness with the entire universe, because without "Self" there is also no...
