Interesting article, but calling it THE defining aesthetic of our time feels a bit sensational.
- readthenotes1 5mo ago"our particular slice of dystopian late capitalism." Did not call it the aesthetic of our time since the term was first used for post world war I economies. We must be in late-to-its-own-funeral capitalism.

They live and die by pretense, there just isn't anything more than that to these "people". All facade, nothing inside. The average LLM has more soul than these types, I fear.
