Generative AI doesn’t “democratize creativity”

Benanav vs Morozov on the Political Economy of AI. Now, this will definitely be quite a read...!

"Choosing among available paths may widen or contract the field of possibilities. Some futures are rendered easier to realize; others are effectively foreclosed; and people’s understandings of what matters shift as they move forward in time—much as in Morozov’s own account of technological worldmaking. The difference is that, in my framework, this process is understood from the outset as political because it unfolds under conditions of scarcity that force collective choice among rival futures.

What is puzzling about Morozov’s critique is that this political core disappears from view. A framework designed to organize conflict over investment—to make trade-offs visible, contestable, and binding when not everything can be pursued at once—is recast as a system of administrative closure that would prematurely discipline experimentation. His analysis is not simply a misunderstanding of my proposed framework but a reversal of its intent: It reads an account meant to politicize worldmaking as an attempt to suppress it."

[소프트웨어의 유튜브 모먼트가 일어나고 있다

소프트웨어 산업이 유튜브의 등장과 유사한 폭발적 민주화와 대중화를 경험하고 있으며, LLM 기반 도구들이 코딩 장벽을 낮추고 누구나 소프트웨어를 제작할 수 있는 시대를 열고 있다. 이는 소프트웨어가 단순한 유틸리티에서 표현의 매체로 진화하는 계기를 제공하며, 젊은 창업자들이 아이디어를 빠르게 구현할 수 있는 최적의 시기라고 강조한다.

Let that sink in - less than 10% of the people live in non-closed/repressed/obstructed countries as of 2025. What began after WW2 - #democratization, #liberalism, #equality, #equity, #progress, #labor #rights #law etc. is barely hanging on by its fingernails.
