If it is known by the public from the offset to be an artificial persona, it would be easier to maintain an authoritative dissemination of the content. A bluecheck account. Footage from any other source will be suspect, a priori.

 

[Clinamenic]

Perhaps the identity may be protean itself, able to traverse ethnicity and transcend all known physiognomic norms.

 

[Clinamenic]

The next world historical figure may be artificial.

 

[Clinamenic]

The next world historical figure may be artificial.

Which doesn't necessarily mean autonomous.

 

[Clinamenic]

Having no nationality, it may be a cosmopolitan avatar of global technoculture.

 

[Clinamenic]

And veritably immortal.

 

[Clinamenic]

Perhaps it may even inhabit augmented reality, and metastasize across footage of all kinds. A digital and memetic colonist.

 

[Clinamenic]

That another thing, this figure ought to be robustly, electrically memable.

 

[Clinamenic]

Memability as social lubrication, hastening the metastasis.

 

[Clinamenic]

Hyperstition metacarnate.

 

[Clinamenic]

Perhaps an array of such figures, a combinatoric palette of dynamic avatars to serve as a pantheon for a technoprogressive and cosmopolitan mythos.

 

[Clinamenic]

A mythos of extropy qua transhumanism.

 

[Clinamenic]

Predicated on an advancement of natural language processing, such artificial personae may be able to harness the popular tongue, via big data and trending phrases, and function as the aggregated mouthpiece of the zeitgeist.

 

[Clinamenic]

A prophet may only take hold, today, as performance art.

 

[Clinamenic]

An algorithmically cultural bootstrapping of the first global generation of digitally native superhumans, those who see themselves in these avatars.

 

[Clinamenic]

Because these avatars are, in fact, them. Aggregates, chimeras of them.

 

[Clinamenic]

We are the source material of our own deities, and this may make that more obvious than ever.

 

[Clinamenic]

Gonna get even more coffee, be right back.
