This is self-evidently true.

All this progress in generative AI, and not a single serious piece of culture other than slop shorts.

All this 10x vibe coding, and not a single new compelling consumer app.

Techies do this all the time: confusing being Gutenberg with being Luther, the maker of the technology of culture for the culture itself.

Hephaestus forges Achilles’ armor in the Iliad, but he’s not the hero and barely appears otherwise compared to other gods.

Technocapitalism might make Hephaestus the rich guy on Olympus, but Homer is going to write him out of the script anyhow.

'Evening, Arbroath.' (c1912) James Watterston Herald painted predominantly in watercolour, working in a very wet manner to create atmospheric blots and puddles, within his evocative depictions of rainy city streets. He's often compared to the brilliant Arthur Melville.

Mark Rothko suffered his whole life from a visual condition that caused him to paint his squares to be very fuzzy, and bad.

But now with AI we can clean them up and see them how he probably imagined them!
