I really like where your thoughts are heading. Personally. I like to keep an eye our for what formats emerge organically from the ground up. You can trust these. YouTube led to so many new formats, that not only express what people are going through, but re-package them into entertainment. I'm going to do some research about Literary Interview Theory, as it seems to offer insights into the relationships between 'chat and technology'. Personally, I am investigation AI and Life-writing, by creating my own chatbot from a childhood memoir. It has turned my early life into a keyboard where I can sample my life in multi-modal ways. https://open.substack.com/pub/christopherhogg/p/9-holidays-i-wish-i-had-never-been-952?r=4cl3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Thanks, Christopher. My next post (due to go live in a couple of days) will attempt to map some typologies of synth media, but I totally agree that tools and platforms in the wild (paired with creative ingenuity, happy accidents, latching on to the Zeitgeist at the right moment, etc) will lead to formats and genres that are impossible to predict. I am looking forward to being surprised - particularly by what 'life sampling' holds. Will check out your substack, thanks for sharing.
The concept of progress is often immature and incomplete, ignoring the devastating side effects of technological innovation. Our narrow definition of progress prioritizes economic and military growth, neglecting the long-term consequences for the health and well-being of all life on Earth. It's time to redefine progress and consider the complex, far-reaching effects of our actions. By acknowledging the unintended consequences of our innovations, we can work towards a more mature and sustainable approach to progress, ensuring a viable future for humanity
