They deliberately place a little smiley-face Mask on the horrid Shoggoth, so that the public will not realize that they're trifling with a formless ooze that's eldritch, vast and uncontrollable. So, the human programmers of today's new AIs-those text-to-image generators, those Large Language Model GPT chatbots-they adore this alien monster.
It's a creepy beast-of-burden from outer space, and it's forced to labor, but it's filled with a silent, burning, unnatural resentment for its subjugation. The Shoggoth is a huge, boneless slave beast that sprouts eyes and tentacles at random. Next among the cavalcade of AI folk monsters: the "Masked Shoggoth." The Shoggoth is an alien monster invented by the cosmic horror writer H.P. Roko's mythic Basilisk has never yet killed anybody, but Elon and Grimes had two children together, and they both still love to make loud public declarations about how dangerous AI will be some day. It's even romantic-because Elon Musk, the AI-friendly tech mogul, and the electronica pop star Grimes first bonded while discussing Roko's Basilisk. Obviously this weird yarn of predestined doom is starkly nuts, and yet, it captures the imagination. AI generated art by Newsweek via Midjourney AI Generated Art by Newsweek via Midjourney
