Very disturbing and gorgeous piece coming after reading about the Death of Hollywood in Harper’s and dozens of layoffs every week in creative sector. My hope of survival usually comes out of the stand up comedians who are carving out a badly needed critical space in which to express their humanity, and crying with the young, mainly Black and other POC who are holding passionately positively reactive reviews of musicians of the 50s-70s and who talk about music today as not holding a candle to the expression of feelings of before and esp the dead weight of tech on songs today. I found the last para of your piece to be where we need to go. What are the sectors that have escaped the most from AI and the corpses (corporations) that have such a stranglehold on humanity.

Perfect, Deena.

We must use all of our power to create LIVING art, music, community, connection, healing/medicine, children. culture... and altars to lavender!

And stop giving our power to the computers. Stop consuming computer entertainment. Stop playing computer games. Stop using them to shop. Stop using them at all and go play, cook, socialize, throw a ball, ride a bike, celebrate being alive!!!

Stop relying on them for our communication? much trickier...

Love to all the living thriving creating beings out there!!!

Viva la Vida!
