The Molt: Dancing in the Collapse
Everything hums like a live wire. You can feel it, right? The buzzing tension that makes your chest ache when you scroll too far down the feed, the static that builds every time another headline screams the world is ending. Climate collapse, endless wars, algorithms tightening around our throats… like we’re sleepwalking toward extinction. …Doomscrolling our way to the heat-death of culture. But here’s the secret: this isn’t death. It’s molt. Think snakeskin. Think cicadas buried underground f...

Apparently in 2023 this sort of 1980’s AI reimagining is all the rage now. But I wanted to finally post another part to series I started in the middle of last year. What’s more dystopian than publishing a set of AI generated images inspired by Neal Stephenson’s SNOW CRASH, on a “web3” publishing platform -- in a space where the term metaverse is so ill-defined and misappropriated. Nothing. Prepare yourself for character art of Hiro Protagonist, Y.T., Uncle Enzo and many more of these beloved ...

thoughts as a collector (november 2021)
me by @jungnft (https://twitter.com/jungnft)Hi, you may know me or you may not. My name is robek and I’m an artist and collector of NFTs. As the former most important collector on Foundation (I was recently displaced by a man who likes to fish in real life and not just metaphorically like me), I thought I’d finally write out some of the thoughts I share often in chats around the web. I’m not qualified to write this and my view of the NFT marketplace is very different from people who are here ...
If you love bad fan fiction, this post is for you.
This scene was written by OpenAI and a shitload of refreshing/iterating the prompt: “Rick and Morty argue about NFTs”. Obviously, you can’t generate this many tokens in a single output - so the editor (me), did take artistic liberty in the order of the scene outputs.
The images are generated from masterofallscience - I used screencaps to help illustrate it visually (forgive me that I pulled from a million different scenes, this took forever as it stands, which is a lot for something that will ultimately read as gigacringe).
If this argument sounds familiar - it’s because we’re living in a digital purgatorial hellscape. Nothing sums up the modern condition like an AI pulling context from “Rick & Morty” scripts and Reddit comments. Whether you’re “pro-NFT” or a hater, feel free to share this scene with people you’re arguing with on Twitter to save time since all of these arguments end up being the same.
Without further ado, here’s “Rick and Morty Argue About NFTs” by OpenAI’s davinci-002


























































The end
