When someone becomes some-thing, dehumanization is doing its unfortunate magic. Alienization is presto. Complete.

The word “alienation” comes to mind, which is different than the state of being alien. It means making someone who might be really no different than you … into some “thing.”

The history of the rise of propaganda positioned against the Japanese Americans in the US was an effective tactic to alienate other people, not unlike similar tactics we know throughout history and the world.

But human opinion, even when guided/controlled by media technologies still requires many interactions for behavior changes to stick.
The RL loop for humanity can still get disrupted by humans outside of the loop. I choose to believe this.

The way? Let’s just say it took a while to get to where “modern” design brought us today. A good marination takes a good deal of time.
I think we’d like to think that the marinating process can be accelerated with GPUs.

The Bauhaus era was about reconciling new industry-grade technologies and their specific habits of form-making.
The goal? To find a way to meld humanistic thinking with the new mechanistic outputs.

This situation can’t be faked, however. And fortunately it doesn’t get called to bear more than a few times during one’s run at a challenging goal.

Constraint-heavy creativity lives in the need-to-figure-out-or-consequences-are-dire. I think in LLM terms this might be when you are ALL CAPS-ING yourself to ensure success in the face of extermination-style concerns.

Whether we value that difference or not will depend on how critical thinking evolves in the mediascape. And also whether or not you appreciate the true randomness implicit to a life that is lived IRL.
