Infinite jest and boomer prompts

Their fearmongering is your todo list

February 06, 2023

Cause we’re living in a generative world

Forget tired communal reality. The world is about to become whatever is most pleasurable for you, all the time. All the time.

Generative sitcoms are already a thing.

The future of everyone being surrounded by their personal perfect entertainment is coming fast. Probably more Matrix than Infinite Jest but we take what we can get.

Grease:

  • Buy digital rights to stars’ images. Or influencers. Or just vaguely attractive people on the street. Digital heaven will need its choirs of angels and extras.

  • Set up a broker service so people can swap and license those rights.

  • Or set up an agency to represent the famous (or terminally narcissistic).

  • And, if everyone is gonna be immobile with pleasure, they’ll probably need diapers. Buy up surplus capacity as birth rates continue to collapse. Or cleaners for those haptic rigs. Dirty job, but profitable.

And I am a generative girl

Generative influencers are so common that they have top 10 lists. In a publication called “Influencer Marketing Hub.” Which makes me yearn to be turned into paperclips.

Of course, it’s already been used either to try to meet real people or just cut out the unnecessary meat in the middle. Virtual love is true love.

Combine this with generative movies and haptics and…we’re all screwed.

Of course, the backlash is swift and incoherent. Regulators gonna regulate and ethicists gonna masturbate. Italy cracks down on chatbots. Handwringing over manipulation. But their moral panic is your opportunity!

Grease:

  • Meta Grease: when you read an article talking about ways that AI could break society, treat that as a todo list.

  • Generative love is hard. Generative advertising is easy. And a nice step on the way to generative love.

  • Billions about to be spent on politics. Everyone is pointing at the Russians. No one is pointing at you. #BeTheGrease

Evil megacorp watch

Microsoft preps to do the thing everyone said they were gonna do and incorporate GPT-X into Bing.

As ChatGPT passes 100 million users. Sell those picks and shovels, my greasy horde. Don't even have to be high quality. But lease get yours before these sleazebags own it all.

God data is gonna be valuable.
