CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@toxi as for the art, I am more optimistic, maybe because I am naive ...
Art goes beyond utility and business, and so will find more ways to adapt. Hell, who could think that generative art would become, for a brief couple of years, so important?
But I find your last thought interesting and I agree, performance by humans, the kind that creates a human connection while you see or do it, cannot be replicated or automated. But who knows. I am reading so much shocking stuff everywhere ...

@toxi and this is the super depressing side of it, but sadly I can't find any fault with the reasoning: https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/an-existential-threat-to-organized
... this goes fairly beyond reorganizing work practices

@toxi For the academia, I found this post interesting: https://www.popularbydesign.org/p/academics-need-to-wake-up-on-ai

@toxi super weird times...
Putting art aside for a moment, and speaking from the fields I know most (developer, former computer scientist), there is no denying that these tools are game changers.
From Donald Knuth solving a problem with Claude (https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/claude-cycles.pdf) to relicensing open-source code (https://simonwillison.net/2026/Mar/5/chardet/#atom-everything) and actually building production code with no programmers at all (can't find the link right now) ... there's a lot to think about.
