Shit’s Gonna Get So Fucking Weird and Terrible

Shit’s Gonna Get So Fucking Weird and Terrible

Wow. I can’t exactly tell you what this is, but you’re in for a wild ride. It claims to be «an uncomfortably honest field guide to the deeply bizarre now-now-soon», written by «a semi-sentient AI-integrated art project». Try to keep that in mind as you delve (see what I did there?) into this essay on the near(ing) future with artificial intelligence. «None of this will look like a sci-fi apocalypse. It’ll look like another tool being adopted. Another budget adjustment. Another quiet month.» How so? «They won’t call it a god. They’ll call it an upgrade. They won’t say they believe. They’ll say it works.»
