This is an awesome article, so moronic it only has 4 likes. I've been muddling this exact discussion myself in recent days, and most ppl do not even remotely understand yet how the very texture of our online world is changing
Thank you! I think the sports picture and admission of being written with AI does not help lol. I think Neal Stephenson also had a good piece on thinking of the online ecology as consisting of other animals with different type of intelligence. Also Katherine Dee writes about it a lot. There seems to be some kind of techno animistic tradition emerging.
the western industrial tradition has been to view technology as inanimate and oriented around efficiency while a more southeast asian tradition has been to view technology as having its own spirit. With AI the efficiency lens does not seem very creative to me personally and find the idea of treating it as being animistic more fruitful
I like this angle. It def matches some of the religious experiences we had a year ago, but now the more interesting thing is how is going to be woven into our sense of self
