"AI is the big stuff. And Grimes is the only household name engaging with it in a thoughtful way. True, there's no shortage of superstars sharing Instagram stories with shiny graphics, eye-popping statistics, and outright misinformation. Celebrities: they're just like us! A much larger cohort is quietly integrating AI into their art, and the lack of sustained controversy around the three-time Oscar winner, The Brutalist, is a strong signal that the broader public doesn't care. But they should."
"Even if AI is already as good as it will ever be - and I wouldn't take that bet - it's already breaking brains and rewriting social contracts. And if you are the kind of person to think about p(doom), you might call the status quo the best case scenario. Superpowers are stumbling into a new Cold War, with GPUs taking the place of uranium."
Political dramas are receding into historical footnotes while concrete policy outcomes remain limited and reversible. A decade of corruption and lawbreaking will be whittled down to minor historical examples. AI is the central issue reshaping culture, art, geopolitics, and human cognition. Many celebrities share superficial AI content, while a larger cohort quietly integrates AI into their work; some artists like Holly Herndon and Arca explore posthuman soundscapes. Grimes translates AI anxiety into pop music. AI progress appears unstoppable, risks include social contract disruption and a new Cold War driven by GPUs replacing uranium as strategic assets.
