I couldn’t stop thinking about Nicolas Hughes tonight….and about his death in mid-March…The landscape was still frozen in Alaska when he died. I thought also that he left no note, even though he had been thinking about his death for sometime before it happened. Christine Hughes, his partner found him dead in his workshop, hanged.
We are much too obsessed with gossip and scandal…This was a real and complex human being. He must have had to confront a lot when he was very young. Sometimes that makes it impossible to take a position of self-preservation.
I think about the reason he didn’t leave a note…I have to wonder why…Maybe the act. Maybe that’s it’s own reason…and no explication could have added more detail. Maybe.
Are there any conceptual limits to the possibilities of artificial intelligence?
