Also it’s important to note that with pretty much all of these cia revelations that come out, it was always typically like 2 guys working on it with a handful of supervisors and generally like a few hundred thousand of fucking around money in the budget. They had the ability to like vaguely influence public perception if they actually used their budget as ideally as possible, which they generally never did. Like just because there’s evidence that the cia in their crazy years had been spitballing about stuff doesn’t necessarily mean all that much outside of dumbass propaganda points. US intel agencies have had meetings and budget proposals about literally every single thing someone could think of, and then there’s an easily FOIA’d paper trail of that which is required by law to become publicly available after x amount of years.

This is something that people in shithole countries run by authoritarians never have to worry about. All the shit their intelligence agencies do will never be revealed ever so it literally never happened.

Point is that the reality of the cia involvement in art is primarily about exploiting already existing markets to move money internationally. They didn’t create Jackson Pollock, they just hopped onto the already-existing circlejerk and boosted it to increase the value of the assets they were smuggling to finance various other spooky things in gooky places.

You’re maybe being disingenuous with how much you want to grasp onto the idea that a trend that started in like the 1860s was caused by an organization that was created in the 1940s.

Like it’s the same general shit with what the Russian IRA does today. They typically don’t create the initial trend they just dump some money into magnifying it as it arises naturally. Like the IRA didn’t cause Zack Snyder to be a weird aloof libertarian that made a subversive Superman movie, but they paid shills to boost it when they approved of its messaging.

Does anyone here actually produce stuff or just talk about it?

If you aren’t using AI to get whatever the fuck you want out of it you’re a corporatist cuck and a mindhosed bozo.

Not learning AI and not taking advantage of it is just fucking yourself over at the dawn of a new industry that is the biggest thing since the invention of the camera.
