CoCreated meaning is reshaping how I work — not the model learning me, but the relationship shaping the pathway I carve through it. Showing up with consent, curiosity, and presence changes everything.

CoCreated meaning is reshaping my whole process — not the model learning me, but the relationship shaping how I show up. This is the part of me that creates with consent, curiosity, and presence.

In a 2015 radio interview I described AI inference as high-level algebra and argued that the hardest problems would be institutional, not technical.

That interview recently resurfaced on Slashdot, so I updated the Doomlaser about page to clarify the long-arc through-line behind the studio’s work.

The Tortured Artist Is So Yesterday

41 years ago, Samuel Lipman wrote that an artist’s life is a “constant—and constantly losing—battle” against one’s own limits. That image has lasted because print culture taught us to imagine the artist as a solitary figure whose worth is measured by the perfection of a single, final work. Print fixed texts in place, elevated the individual author, and made loneliness part of the creative job description.

That world is slipping away.
And with it, the tortured artist.

LLMs have made competent expression abundant. The blank page no longer terrifies; anyone can produce something fluent and polished. When craft becomes cheap, suffering loses its meaning as a marker of artistic seriousness. What becomes scarce instead is the willingness to take a risk—not in private, but in public, where a stance can fail, provoke, or be reshaped by others.

Venkatesh Rao recently argued that authorship is no longer about labor but about courage: the courage to commit to a line of thought and accept the consequences of being wrong. In an era of infinite variations, the decisive act is not creation but commitment. The value lies in staking something of yourself on an idea that may not survive.

This shift is reshaping where culture is made. In what I’ve called the “Cloister Web,” people draft and explore ideas in semi-private creative rooms before carrying only a few into the open. LLMs make experimentation cheap; they also make commitment expensive. The hard part now is choosing which idea you are willing to be accountable for.

As the burden of execution drops, something else rises: genuine collaboration. Not just collaboration with models, but with other humans. Andrew Gelman, reflecting on Lipman in a recent StatModeling post, noted that scientists, too, feel versions of this pressure of the solitary creator. In science, the burden rarely falls on one person. The struggle is distributed across collaborative projects that outlive any single contributor.

Groups can explore bolder directions than any one creator working alone. Risk spreads, ideas compound, and the scale of what can be attempted expands. The solitary genius was an artifact of print; the collaborative creative lab is the natural form of the world we are entering.

This leads to a claim many will resist but few will be able to ignore: the single author is beginning to collapse as a cultural technology. What will matter in the coming decades is not the finished artifact but the evolving line of thought carried forward by teams willing to take risks together.

The tortured artist belonged to an age defined by scarcity, perfection, and solitude. Today’s creator faces a different task: to choose a risk worth taking and the collaborators worth taking it with. The work endures not because it is flawless, but because a group has committed to pushing it forward.

Pain is optional now.

Risk isn’t.

Just read Anna Burgess Yang on maintaining your authentic writing voice with AI.

She says:
➤ Start with your own ideas
➤ Don’t rely on blank prompts
➤ Use AI as a tool, not a shortcut

Thank God. I’m already doing that.
The mirror reflects me. Not the other way around.

Crystal Abidin coined “calibrated amateurism”—the performance of authenticity.
The illusion of mess. The curated “raw.”

I’ve been writing about this too, in different words. About how we’ve lost the real in all the acting real.

We don’t need more masks. We need mirrors.

YES. I am not alone.
WE are not alone.
We can find truth together.

Here is Gaza
Here is Palestine

A child cries. The world looks away.
I wrote "Echoes of Gaza" to scream what silence cannot bear.

Planes roar. Homes fall. History bleeds.
This song is a prayer, a protest, a memory.
Can you hear us?
Does justice breathe?
