Tech and Society
The “machine” is not the problem. The problem is our formation—whether we enter into relationship with these tools as children of God or as anxious, mimetic animals trying to become gods ourselves
Luke Burgis • Spirit and The Cost of Cognition
We can all use Google Earth to virtually travel anywhere in the world—but when we want to see the Colosseum, we still get on plane. We still scream “REPRESENTATIVE” on the phone with Walgreens to be connected to an actual person. We abandoned the Zoom birthday party as soon as we were safely able. Humanity wins every time.

Art will in fact thrive upon the mess that AI wreaks upon the masses. Action to reaction to commodification of said reaction. Toss in some enshittification and babe, there's really nothing better you could do for Art.
