Notes

Almost any activity or creation places us in the long history of labor and a huge collaborative environment. We are constantly creating or thinking on top of someone’s else’s work or tool. Basically everything we experience.
There is a sense of artificial already.
Try unfolding the credits for an activity or an action you do. How are you achieving that and how many people you have to credit because of that?
Mistake to imagine yourself as a lonely genius. Wether you make images, video or sound, even for text. What is really is happening is that our thoughts are a product of the distributed mind. They’re not just happening in our minds out of nowhere. Intellect is already artificial.

SOLO GENIUS	DISTRIBUTED
Named works	nameless text
artisan labor	produced at mass scale	and so on..
solo authorship	mostly in teams and anon
written in the head	enabled by technology
read alone	understood socially

Surprising numbers

Mid 19th century…

To write 10 to 12 novels was considered a lot for their career

now…

Individual writers now 12 novels a year.

Productivity boost of at least 10x!

Pulp fiction in the eyes of russian communism vs american capitalism

The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations, recombine these and sell them. Model to industrialize. It’s a book. Interesting to read maybe.

The contemporary tv show industry, has an artificial type of writing of permutating combinations of characteristic to create a plot. Perry Mason series is also a great example. As well as the plot genie.
