All except the "Hexbear is a community of" prompt on the screenshot is AI generated. I am scared of this technology.

    The spectacle is the opposite of dialogue. It is the image of the world’s monologue. It is the monologue of the self which takes itself as its own object: the spectacle is the dream of a self which is both perceiving and perceived, speaking and spoken to, at once effect and cause, both object and subject.

    This is a totally original wording from the AI and is a legitimately good explanation of the spectacle.

    It also shows the conflict between spectacular society and dialectical society. A spectacular society is a monologue, it's inherently authoritarian and lacks any dialecical solution to crises. Which is why the US is such a braindead society. There's an inability of spectacular citizens to think dialectically.
