maybe a doomer take from me, but imo this belies the fact that the motivation underpinning the drive for AI maximalism is the obsolescence of the student itself
This is the fundamental paradox of AI: if it's actually helping you, there is no way to know when it is no longer helping you. Put another way: if you can supervise it effectively enough to catch its mistakes, you probably didn't need it in the first place.
we have finally killed logocentrism by reifying the logos
"an obsession with the written word is a tenet of white supremacy" like, yes, but in a way that AI is kinda extremely guilty of as well???
(also interesting that the life cycle of a meme often starts at "joke stolen from nonwhite communities" and then ends at "deep absurdism")
interesting to think about the "irreducibility of the sign value of the image" in memes. great example for this is how "my brother in christ, you made the sandwich" evolved over time -the specific lexicon of these jokes being built out of unorthodox framings and relationships between signs, neo-Dada
