Steve Jobs knew something about forces not for good.

It’s not that. Nobody really expects to achieve firm satisfactory result in something never done before, to justify the risk.

It’s a bubble. That they found money to make such an input into inflating it just means the outcome of said bubble bursting is this good for them.

I’m interested what exactly will happen when it bursts. A dictatorship, or a blitzkrieg against half of the world, or what else.

1. Artists need to eat.

2. Art needs to be a commercial success to defend itself from commercial successes it hurts.

3. Computing industry notably positions itself as replacing art (I don’t mean digital art like tracker music or 3d modeling), in many things where, say, car industry doesn’t. But the suggested replacements are not that. Similarly to how journalism can only be adversarial and offensive to most points of view, otherwise it’s just public relations, because it doesn’t improve anything. Improvement is always adversarial.

That’s how every successful fraud works. If it’s not attractive to people who see it’s a fraud, it won’t have their support. If it’s hard to discover as a fraud, it’s also hard to maintain and always has the risk of discovery.

So the best frauds are those where everyone knows it’s a fraud, and plenty think it’s a fraud they can profit from.

That’s why OLE from ORACLE is becoming Rer and not getting his A torn?

Surely they have some explanation how that doesn’t happen, otherwise they are making strange plans.

The industry is not that bad, but it’s just one of them.

People need art. And art doesn’t survive in environments where there should be a winner and winner takes all.

Art is the social alternative of recessive genes. It allows to preserve more than needed “right now in this particular situation”. Without art there’s degeneracy.
