![That the Trump White House tweeted out an image of a “Ghiblified” deportation helps us answer the question. But even before they said the quiet part loud it was hard not to think of the final section of Benjamin’s essay when reading enthusiasts talking about how A.I. makes art “become accessible,” or “enables so much creativity”:
"Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses while leaving intact the property relations which they strive to abolish. It sees its salvation in granting expression to the masses--but on no account granting them rights. The masses have a right to changed property relations; fascism seeks to give them expression in keeping these relations unchanged. The logical outcome of fascism is an aestheticizing of political life. […] 'Fiat ars--pereat mundus [let there be art, though the world perish],' says fascism, expecting from war, as Marinetti admits, the artistic gratification of a sense perception altered by technology. This is evidently the consummation of l’art pour l'art. Humankind, which once, in Homer, was an object of contemplation for the Olympian gods, has now become one for itself. Its self-alienation has reached the point where it can experience its own annihilation as a supreme aesthetic pleasure. Such is the aestheticizing of politics, as practiced by fascism. Communism replies by politicizing art."
Benjamin, of course, is thinking of war-obsessed Italian Futurists, in a different time and a different context. Sam Altman is no Fillippo Marinetti, and Studio Ghibli slop is no Abstract Speed + Sound. But you have to admit: “Fiat ars--pereat mundus” would make a pretty good OpenAI slogan.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f6yzeddlu7zjqbthmn37yvom/bafkreifvbdad4sp3wu2dx4hllgqwxiq5xta5v6mcnxffjfurj6gunfubre)
