if you use Generative AI systems like Midjourney everyday as i do, then you know the ways in which, esp nijijourney tends towards making elves, turning people innto AI Elves …

are glitches the “self-transforming machine elves”? is a question posed to me by @pocobelli && yes, there is a way in which glitches, gremlins, the nonhuman forces of AI are deeply interconnected…

self-transforming machine elves who we encounter in our travels thru hyperspace existing ‘somewhere between mythology and zoology’ is a cyberpsychedelic idea explored by Terence McKenna…
