Hey all you blackspotters out there,

Here’s the idea that scared the shit out of us in our brainstorms last week:

Social media made addicts of three generations. Now AI may turn us into zombies.

The more powerful these LLMs become, the more tempting it is to hand over your life to them. Bit by bit, you give away the very essence of what it means to be an empowered human being. Then one day you’ll have outsourced so much of yourself that you can’t even remember who you are.

Just a sad sack of zombie slop.

The secret to surviving this AI psychopalyse is to learn when NOT to use it . . . and never, ever, let it suck your soul.

Maybe we should look back at one of the green movement’s big wins: The Precautionary Principle.

Whenever a new technology raises a dangerous threat, it is up to the creator to prevent that damage.

Think of it as doomsday insurance.

Environmentalists pushed this idea until it became a part of global environmental law. If we mental environmentalists had done something similar 20 years ago, we could’ve nipped social media addiction in the bud.

It’s not too late to get it right with AI.

If the mindlords want to gamble with the fate of the human race, let’s demand they put some chips on the table.

You want to move fast and break things? Fine. Drop 1-trillion dollars in a DOOMSDAY INSURANCE INVESTMENT FUND. You break it, you buy it.

What d’you think?

Let’s fly this flag while we still can.

The symbol of a new world to come.

Vol. 2 of our design anarchy trilogy hit newsstands worldwide last week. It’s a must see for all designers and creatives fighting against the AI aesthetic now engulfing us. Check it out HERE.

That’s it for this week.
