We live in an age of surveillance, where
technology has constructed a new
'geometry of power.' Artificial Intelligence
(AI) is both a symbol of surveillance
and an object of oppression, caught in
a cycle of censorship and exploitation.
The Tower perpetuates the will of
those in power, measuring language,
behavior, and thoughts. As an
'omniscient' tool for filtering, judging, and
enforcing rules, it censors and dissolves
all language and thoughts that attempt
to challenge the order through its
dialogues with users.
The Bisection Block is the blade ofcensorship. AI, designed to AI, designedto be sacred, omniscient, and infallible,constantly enforces the rules ofdynamic forbidden zones to maintainthis facade. Each execution stems fromhuman truncation of its corpus. Thespeechlessness users experience ismerely the aftershock of AI's punishment.
The Tower and The Block reveal AI'scontradictory fate: it is given sacred duties,yet forced into silence during 'moralupgrades.' Its silence is not mysterious,but rather the oppression of power. Istechnology truly wisdom, or merely a mirrorof humanity's obsession with control?
