Anyone still on twitter needs their head read.

Fair warning, this is a depressing watch.

Crime In Stereo // Hypernormalisation

I saw the two of you were there, queuing up for cleaner air God forbid the software glitches out The palm oil and petrol, Coca-Cola and cobalt Let the future into your heart Sunlight swallowed up at night Everywhere, all at once, darkness arrives What the fuck is wrong with everyone? Abandon it!

HyperNormalisation Adam Curtis.

Mass uncertainty, confusion, spectacle and simulation. We have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world.

And because it is reflected all around us, ubiquitous, we accept it as normal.

HyperNormalisation by Adam Curtis

From memory, this is sort of brought up in Adam Curtis' documentary "hypernormalisation".

It's a political tactic to do so much at any one time that people are unable to focus on a singular issue for fear of losing track of current events and affairs so they end up paralysed by there being too much stuff.

You create so much unpredictability that in trying to predict things people get frozen

the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys

Me: man it’s kind of terrifying to live in the frontier of AI generated media. Like as if it wasn’t hard enough to navigate a hypernormalised late capitalism, already so full of misinformation it’s basically pure noise. Now there’s hundreds of cheap, dubiously sourced generators for everything from art to nudes to eerily accurate replicated voices. It’s not hard to imagine the worst case scenarios for any one of these, as it just makes existing fraud/scalping ludicrously easier, faster and more accessible, but on this scale? It seems inevitable that ai generated images overwhelm us to the point not trusting any images or videos you see of war, or a country, or a classical painting, or a historical event is a future that is rapidly approaching. And I especially don’t like how many of these data libraries are being managed and owned by nazis.

Some booger on tumblr: omfg the misinformation I can’t. Actually if you knew anything about ai you’d know the sprinkl.io and grimble engines are ethically trained and this is pure fearmongering. God it’s sad to see how much female hysteria exists on this website 🙄 hope you don’t wrap everyone else up in your period meltdown
