Studio Ghibli AI, Classified Leaks, and the Context Shift
Digital platforms and AI tools have created an environment where:
- Information volume overwhelms individual capacity to process details , making simplifying frames more influential
- Algorithmic curation creates personalized information environments that can reinforce certain ideas while hiding others
- AI-generated content can rapidly produce and distr

This isn’t really anything novel. But in our hyper-digital age, how information is framed often matters more than the substance of that information itself.
Studio Ghibli AI, Classified Leaks, and the Context Shift
The Ghibli AI trend is a perfect microcosm:
- The raw content (images) is easily reproducible and has minimal intrinsic value
- The context (who shares it, how it's framed, which platforms amplify it) creates the actual economic and social value
- The creators of the original style (Studio Ghibli) receive some value through "increased interest" while platfo

Also, when context increasingly trumps content in determining value, we need new frameworks for understanding, measuring, and distributing that value. Power gravitates to those who control context. Ultimately, the real battle isn’t about the raw content - it’s about who defines, manipulates, and monetizes the frame .

But as AI accelerates our ability to (1) generate, (2) manipulate, and (3) distribute information, this weird tension becomes even more pronounced. We're entering an era where the battle between content and context will reshape how all policy is created, communicated, and understood. Digital platforms and AI tools have created an environment where:

Thoughts: like we are adding new elements to our perception, but still using old frameworks, rigid and resistant to change, and so instead of the new elements (eg AI) falling into place within a restructured mental map they exercise undue impact on the structure, basically contorting it - north is no longer north metaphorically speaking - the mental map is distorted by these elements that don’t fit into it, because the element we are trying to fit into the map affects the map itself. Picture a magnet with a too large gravitational field (in terms of meaning) pulling everything into a different shape - and so it isn’t a question of how we talk about the new element only, it’s a question of how we talk about everything under the influence of the new element. Like being intoxicated? Seeing through a looking-glass?
Second thought: now more NB who is saying what, the context, as the article says…..what would orient us otherwise? Earth, senses, agency. Have we given these away bit by bit, in the name of choice and opportunity and potential and possibility, so that we are focussed on guidance outside ourselves, or we just took the guidance outside such as religion, parents etc and replaced it with pseudo-choice and are therefore happy to place our power in someone out there, still believing this is our choice we are freely-making and to see the power we have given away we would have to see the whole context - all the micro give-aways of our power.
this is also a perfect crystallization of how, in our hyper-digital age, it's increasingly the context and framing of information (not the content itself) that drives debates and shapes economic futures. Here, the content of the war plans was practically overshadowed by how they leaked (understandably!) - the wrong platform, the journalist, and the... See more

But what is happening now isn't just automation replacing routine tasks. We really do have a restructuring of how value is created and distributed. Unlike previous technological revolutions that primarily transformed physical production, AI transforms meaning-making itself, changing how we create and distribute value. The Ghibli AI trend is a perfe... See more
