It’s interesting to me when people say there will be a new fetish around artisanal human made things post-AI job loss and that this will allow them to continue their work

This may be true but it doesn’t really account for where the retail consumer funds to buy said work will come from - it’s a luxury economy all the way up

Writing about how cultural narratives of technology shape what worlds we can build https://keikreutler.net 🗝️

It also doesn't account for where these people's taste will come from

If they're not experiencing and falling in love with artisanal human-made things right now, what precedent or prior knowledge will they have to guide them in that new reality?

Back to bartering artisanal goods I guess
