My pleasure! First of all, I like your work! And generally speaking we're all in dire need of better ways to imagine AI and our relationships to it. Then too I'm more than glad to get human-made work onto my Substack.
The education and training of the epheboi is the issue!! In ancient Greece these were the young men trained to be the citizen soldiers. They learned poetry, rhetoric and how to wield the hoplight short sword in man to man battle. Neither the short sword nor the memory of a Homeric poet will protect us now. So, the epheboi today had better wield AI with excellence, and leave the books round shields to historians. Arete remains. Warcraft changes.
Thank you so much for shouting out the Better Images of AI library, and using one of the images I contributed!
