“NOTHING IS TRUE, EVERYTHING IS CONTENT.”

Been watching a lot of stuff lately that touches on the intersection of geo-politics and the cyberization of the body (see Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, X-Files, The Shrouds, etc.)
So often people are really down on how complex and amorphous the plots can be but isn’t that the whole point?
What better reflects our reality than a messy shadow world brimming with malicious government and tech sector actors seeking to weaponize our bodies and minds? These stories aim for a certain realism and achieve it in their refusal to provide clean answers.
So often, there is no truth for us anymore. Everything is a false flag, everything is a psy-op, who does the smoking man really work for? We’re the victims and we can only grasp at half-truths and accept that we’ll never know. Yet in accepting that, we reach a deeper truth of another kind.

I’m kind of over complaining about AI, but this essay was great. Love the explanation on the origins of hyperlinks.

My #official take is that AI art generally on the whole fucking sucks. 90% of it is uninteresting slop content by brain dead techbros who have no knowledge of art or why we value it.
HOWEVER!!! There is one use case where I think using AI in your art can actually elevate the work, and that’s if the art itself is in some way trying to say something about AI.
Luckily, there’s actually a lot of things to say about AI – referencing it in your work pretty firmly places it in the current cultural landscape in super powerful way.
Some examples (note that these all have pretty nihilistic / downright dystopian outlooks on modern society, maybe that’s also imporyant):
- Vegyn’s album under the Headache pseudonym
- some of the scenes in Conner O’Malley’s 103 fever short

We’re never too old, too late, too inexperienced or incapable. Nothing is embarrassing or weird. I didnt realize how much of everything I counted myself out of because of some anxiety or preconceived notion. It’s all made up, do everything and try it all. Nothing is beneath us and we are not beneath or above anything.

Really has romanticized life or at least added more value to small moments. I’m tryna “perfect days” in this bitch. Also recommend the movie perfect days it has not left my mind since I watched it a month ago.

All that you touch, you change.
All that you change, changes you.
the only lasting truth, is change.
God is change.
the book has such an interesting philosophy that it explores through a sci-fi world thats also feels so close to a possible reality. it’s an interesting read makes you think and sit on a lot of excerpts.
