Interesting to read your perspective on this. I think you have to think a step further. AGI and ASI are just around the corner, and will fundamentally change earth, and life on it for humans. It won’t only be about the creative space and the jobs within, but all white collar jobs and some blue collar too.

There will have to be a completely new understanding of what humans are supposed to do here on earth, pretty soon. Peoples identities will have to be decoupled from the concept of a „professional career“, because there simply won’t be many such careers for humans left. This could be a complete disaster or an amazing, liberating development. Whatever happens, at this point it’s out of our control already, because the companies pushing for ASI won’t stop, and can’t really stop, as someone else would just pick up.

Until this unfolds I too will enjoy the „backlash“ of photobooks, and vinyl, and Denis Villeneuves movies. To me it’s just a last hooray though, until ASI fundamentally changes everything.
