Good buddy Frank Chimero gave a great talk at last week’s Kinference conference in Brooklyn and now it’s online as an essay!
Beyond the Machine is one of the most clear-eyed takes on creative existence, coexistence, and resistance in a world with AI. I love the framing of over/beside/under when it comes to machines, and the artist examples — especially Spirited Away as allegory, really sing.

(I thought I was alone in not clicking with Rick Rubin’s book 😅)
