Wanted to capture Ran Prieur’s thoughts on Hippy Putin & imagination here for safe-keeping:
My favorite thing about being me is imagination. I’m sure that whales can daydream, but can they daydream about being space pirates or alternate world travelers? Of all the things that AI can do for us, the thing I value most is that it can buff our dreams.
For example, through Midjourney V5, Tim explores The Unlikely Hippy Past of Vladimir Putin. I understand the danger of not knowing what’s real, but if you can keep a decent grip on what’s real, young hippie Putin is a really cool unreal thing to think about, and I could not imagine it this well without help from technology.
