Always a bummer to see things get so turned into for profit/mining practices everywhere. Even the exciting things like this and gpt chat. Anna Munster said that we have shifted away from the construction of human machine intelligence and actually making an artificially intelligent mind and over to practical applications for capital production: voice recognition and data mining for example. Even the could have beens in all these so generated dumps reeks more of the same refrying a’la marvel comics dredge than exciting vistas onto what art consumption can be. I do enjoy the rapid prototyping and conceptualization it produces. But then again everything is fast these days and that gets boring quick.
Reading this had the effect of a light bulb turning on in my lil head. In the last few years I have heard so much about us (humans) having lost something because of the lack of religion or the postmodern thinkers or whatever else and totally forgot that we, for a little while, used to have faith in progress. Now I think most people would agree to see progress mostly working for profit and more often than not aiming at supporting humans if not actually weaponized against humans. I'll go back thinking about things now. Also looking forward to see that documentary. Jodorowsky has always fascinated me. Can't think of another artist (alive) that is so creative and was influential to so many in different medium. His movies, books, comics, psychomagy idea and tarot things are all wild and yet makes for a very coherent artistic endeavor.
