How I'm using memes and AI to spread the word about AI, jobs, and Post-Labor Economics. We've tried warning people with history and data, now it's time to break out the memes.
So when MJ's video feature came out I asked it to produce a 13 sec vid of this prompt, "A third generation futuristic AI robot agent/Assistant designing a log home with AutoCAD. Show keyboard, mouse and monitor." In about 35 seconds it produced a not-so-accurate meme demonstrating what I've been begging the AI community to help me build. (not sure it will let me post link but here it is https://www.facebook.com/greg.steckler/videos/716867647382614) Exactly what David is talking about.
I see what your memes mean. We transition to the meaning economy in which we mean what we do and are - and find out who we (collective rather than personal pronoun here) are and can become.
I was going to make a comment about how we are doomed because we need memes to make us pay attention to this potentially existential fork in the road for humanity but I was so entertained by said memes I decided against it.

hi dude, i came here bravely to get blocked by you😤 (i even downloaded substack and got into it for that😤). it's my honour, to do that for those guys
one day the world will change, we all hope it all will go in a good scenario. but sometimes hope is not enough
and it always makes me upset when people have not enough time to get into reasoning of each other before getting personal and judging. but let it be!

Funny, I just finished a story about one possible AI-driven future. Check it out! https://sisyphusofmyth.substack.com/p/in-the-garden-of-eden-baby
I love these on point comics. They really nail there specific paintings.

Ha, it's working!
Time to make more kids I guess. Fun read David!
