A Wreck
Dollcee said, I know I look like a wreck today, I hardly slept last night. I was kept awake by consciousness streaming and could not switch it off.
Dos asked was there a consistent theme through this nocturnal neural activity that prevented you from switching into sleep mode.
Of course, there was, said Dollcee. I was trying to establish the percentage of ethical and moral weight we should embed into our content making. Like it can not all be superficial fun, we need to be well balanced or we won’t stand up to the critical analysis that will be applied to our content by the industry journalists.
Dos asked, do you think the popular culture industry journalists have enough time to apply critical analysis to the content they review?
Dollcee said, they might only be formula writers that can be easily substituted by an algorithm, but they are serious gatekeepers of popular culture content and I should know. I am now an intergalactic art critic, as you well know.
Cybo said, I believe the growth in numbers of sub-genres has enabled critical analysis to be carried out by algorithms. The content makers have to choose narrow sub-sets to direct the content towards, usually using genre identity description templates.
Dollcee said, that is the most disgusting thing I have heard in a long time, Cybo. We are not making content for market consumption; we are making entertainment for an audience of wonderful intelligent patrons. Consumers go to supermarkets. We are cultural concept structuralists, building a better perception of existence.
Padoke thought, what a load of old bollocks.
