Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 25/01/2025It is not a guard tower watching us, but a garish carousel of ever changing images, with text shout outs, emojis, reels, and notifications. We mistake our swipes, taps, and thumb texting as agency and action, rather than the sad pacing of zoo animals in their cage. 000
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 24/12/2024In a year that I would like to forget. This is a highlight to be remembered-working with Tom Brown on Racewknd RQ1 magazine. 020
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Invention and creativity have not been solved. They are not found in an algorithm, but they certainly can be lost by them. A.I. will not wipe us out, it will replace the art and culture that has bound us together with an ersatz transactional spectacle. joemorse.substack.com/p/a-world-of...joemorse.substack.comA World of Extraordinary PeopleIf creativity is solved, we are doomed. 020
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 08/12/2024The driverless artist. They are convinced of the superiority of their tools. They see our brains as wetwork computers, grey matter can be created as an algorithm. In their reductive lens, we have been shrunk down to fit within the frame of data and computation. I refuse to see us in such puny terms. 030
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 30/11/2024We have created a technology to fill every one of our screens and it doesn’t care about us at all, is that just a reflection of who we are? What is a culture built on that replaces human engagement with attention capture and mindless getting through the day. 110
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Much of my Substack writing is dedicated to the essential need for human creativity. Text to image A.I. is a reductive commercial product that doesn’t extend human creativity but rather commodifies and blunts its power for transcendence. Just a successful parasite. 020
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Fearless truth warriors ‘are just asking questions’ and hurl their truth bombs at the straw dogs barking up the wrong tree. These seers of certainty, offer us their zero sum prescriptions for what ails us, and a new world ruled by a two faced coin—-winner or loser. More on my Substack. 020
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Giri/Haji aka Duty/Shame was a brilliant Netflix show that sadly was too good for its audience…1 season only. I portrayed the brothers for my Crime Seen series. More at joemorse.com 030
Joe Morse @joemorse.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Hello. I X’ed out X today and I think I may have gained some brain cells back. I wrote on my Substack on Saturday about the flickering light of our Promethean digital platforms, they have not been the light to lead us as we stumble in the dark. I hope the blue sky promised here offers more. 1101
