Good one! Especially like the pithy image of “interpolatable archive”.

I’ve developed a model of filter, engine, source to bring this hyperobject down to size, and that one would be the “source” aspect; model as content repository. “Filter” would be the originally intended usecase for LLMs as better translator of input to an equivalent output, and “engine” being the automation aspect. I believe this will be helpful primarily for fair use debate, as it maps to three intertwined value streams with fundamentally different relation to the substrate corpus.

A worthy exploration would be to also zoom out to the level of business, and accurately label content automation technology businesses as media businesses. It maps all the way, and helps attach familiar liability frameworks.

As for psychopathology and its intersection with propaganda, see my post “Monkey Darts; Anthroxication” that goes from Blake Lemoine to a disturbing first hand encounter with bot delulu the other week.
