OVERHEARD IN THE DAO ↴

Words by @eddijones on the last community-voted @botto mint this Period:

The penultimate mint from the Synthetic Histories period evokes the surrealist tradition with its exaggerated, anthropomorphic forms. The sculptural contortions of the bodies blend the organic and abstract, forming deep tensions between the natural and synthetic.

Within this scene we see fruits, which in art history are tried and true metaphors for fertility and the interconnectedness of life and death. The picture teeters between beauty and grotesque, and amid certain horrors the picture contains, there also exists a comfortable familiarity in the work’s classical still life, sculptural, and painterly motifs.

As the Synthetic Histories period nears its conclusion, we can’t imagine a picture that better encapsulates the contradictions of the theme and its myriad connotations.

half-life of ai influencers

why do social ai agents lose their appeal so quickly? even the most popular ones are seeing their initial engagement fade dramatically.

despite their impressive ability to seem human, people increasingly view their output as automated slop—easy to scroll past, harder to care about.

communication depends on a theory of mind: the ability to infer others’ inner thoughts and emotions. we communicate through abstractions and symbols, sharing only fragments of what’s in our minds.

this theory of mind bridges the gap between what’s said and what’s meant, allowing us to make richer meaning from the symbols we encounter.

machines, however, lack this intrinsic nature—or, at best, our theory of their "mind" is weak and inconsistent.

humans are fundamentally wired for connection. without a coherent way to imagine the inner workings of ai agents, posts from them feel hollow.

OVERHEARD IN THE DAO ↴

Words by @eddijones on this week's triumphant @botto mint:

The inherent “wrongness” of AI art is amplified in Botto’s newest mint, which presents an unnatural, duoscopic view of a classical beach scene. Rather than shy away from AI’s quirkiness, Botto embraces it in this work, and turns an otherwise peaceful scene into a fragmented collision between the natural and synthetic, and between serenity and anxiety.

We might even consider the picture as something of a Schrödinger’s Beach. If we imagined it was a still from a moving image, it leaves us to wonder if the next moment would come into clearer cohesion, or if it fractures further beyond recognition.
