Hell yeah Anne Carson who I did a chapter of my dissertation (the published version had that chapter anyway). My friend Lily sent me this extraordinary statement of Carson's if you want to get a feel for her

AI remains ironically the greatest argument in favor of the existence of the Soul because I need the concept to articulate the difference between the two ways of reading the book to the baby. Plato was right all along -- everyone lives in caves and discusses shadows thinking they are real things

People are so broken they are now outsourcing fun to AI.
Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Sense8 is 100% an X-Men story -- as is Avatar the Last Airbender, Doom Patrol, Hellboy and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These are bizarrely more X-Men based than a lot of Wolverine issues or whatever was happening in Messiah Compex or Uncanny X-Force

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Rico Charges @NoChorus

Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up.

My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people

Romance requires a level of SICKO a computer cannot generate. Twilight features a scene where the girl is forced to cuddle with her warm blooded crush because her vampire boyfriend is too cold to provide body heat but he is jealous and is forced to watch them! It's a PG-13 cuck scene! Beat that, AI!

"Apocalypse" means "reveal." Trump's election reveals how many people are not against a guy like him in charge. Covid reveals how many people won't mask. Israel's "defense" reveals how many people support military nationalism. AI reveals how many people want to automate not just emails but eulogies.

This sums up my own experience in recent years. My theory is that there are so many genuine existential crises right now that people's instinct is to treat even low-stakes issues (movies! fandoms! personal preferences!) like existential crises. Makes having a normal conversation almost impossible.
