This is the headtrash thesis.
A.I. Slop
The way I see it, we are engaged in a fight for the human soul at peril to threat of AI, and more specifically, generative AI. I'm a designer from New York, lost in the Midwest for work. The threat of this technology looms above the industry like the Sword of Damoclese (Sleep Token amiright). I built a career on logo design, but AI is already gaining ground in that arena. As the technology spreads to every part of our life, I found myself lost in a dialogue about what makes art human and unimitable by a machine. Why does it matter. The best way to answer that question is to experience and then engage in a dialogue about the art itself.
That was a really fancy way of saying: I'm going to share and discuss the art I love to promote real human beings and fight AI.
Social Media is AdSlop
The reason for souch a dated approach is that GeoCities sites (the namesake for our host, NeoCities) allowed internet users to express themselves freely on the internet without a concern about algorithms, monetization, or getting spammed with nothing but ads and sponsored corporate promotions. All of it has fallen victim to corporate greed. This is an attempt to get away from those distractions.
This medium is inherently and intentionally utilitarian. The writing spontaneous and rough, always without AI, directly into the html file.
The site is still in development, so please check back periodically for content updates.
