My friend Jayde wrote an interesting article talking about her thoughts of the cultural and idol industry / live coding, Olivia Jack, Yaxu, Tondpond, Pastagang / creation and creators in the AI era / east Asian culture and mindset etc.
It's a bit long, hasn't been translated well, and some parts may be difficult to understand without contextual notes (?), but I think it's worth sharing anyway.

Thank you all for your appreciation of the article. I have conveyed all the feedback to Jayde. Additionally, following Peter / Abstraktor‘s reminder, I seem to have missed a quote from Benjamin, which is on a picture in the original article. The quote is: > The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back his turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. The storm is what we call progress.
