The moment capitalism decided that artists should become "content creators" it was obvious what the system wanted from artists. An infinite system of human mechanisms churning out goop for consumption That's why they think they can replace you with generative AI, because they don't care about art

I try to support as many folks as I can, in whatever way my dwindling emotional & financial resources allow But please, to all the wonderful folks out there creating amazing writing, videos, visual art, whatver See yourselves as the artists you are, love yourselves for creating something unique

The strength of capitalist realism is the failure of imagination. If we cannot concieve of a coherent alternative, we cannot believe a better world is possible. AI content is the ultimate recuperation: aesthetic stripped of meaning, rendered into slush, and reformed of pure algorithmic expectation.
