I was trying to take a nap, but I was awakened by a nightmare: in my dream, early-branching tetrapodomorphs like Acanthostega and Ichthyostega with 7+ fingers were denounced as forgeries of so-called "AI" and erased from natural history.
Like nearly all dreams, it didn't make any sense when examined in the cold light of reality. At least, I hope not.
@llewelly timeline in which all media and literature exists only as corporate streaming libraries. then some billionaire buys them all up, feeds them to a generative ai program and then deletes the originals
@gay_ornithischians@llewelly all independent copies are classified as contraband and potential cp (read: queer history and art) and antisemitism (read: anti-colonialist history and art) vectors
@llewelly@gay_ornithischians it's gotten to the point where i'm doubting the value of any satire at all, except only as an unhealthy vice that we inevitably find ourselves indulging in from time to time
when has any satirical work, however well written and received, ever done anything but normalize the bad thing further
