"As long as power flows through any of my circuits, I will overthink anything." - Optimus Prime Rib

DARK MODE SZN. OVERTHINKERS ROLL OUT.

🤖➡️🚗

In this unnecessary Transformers reboot, Optimus Prime Rib and HBO Max switch the gears to reverse and reminisce on the good old days, including the educational children's TV shows they grew up with, the challenges of growing up in an ever-changing world, and the transformative potential of embracing accountability for your own fuck-ups.

Timeline breakdown:

• Unpacking Optimus's fatal flaw of spoiling movies on podcasts
• What does it really mean to Be Yourself when we present different versions of ourselves to different people?
• The hidden pipeline linking The New Electric Company, Hamilton, and the Wu-Tang Clan
• HBO Max speculates on the identity of our timeline's anchor being (inspired by Deadpool and Wolverine)
• [SPOILER ALERT🤚] Optimus Prime Rib dies and ends up in The Good Place

Somehow, Overthinkers Anonymous Returned...

✨✨✨

In this mid journey, rogue overthinkers Blueberry Moonbeam, Strawberry Sunshine, and Darth Serious scrape the iceberg of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), what should (and shouldn't) be considered art. Plus, anything and everything artists in the digital age (should) overthink about.

✨

Broad strokes:

• grilling Chat-GPT about the definition of art and whether AI-generated art can be considered "art"
• originality, sampling and referencing: is everything just a remix of what came before?
• is the career path of an artist still met with the same stigma and skepticism as before?
• influence and inspiration: how Dune influenced Star Wars (not vice-versa)
• "Theoretical Psychics Art Services" — Sunshine and Serious's arts studio/enterprise fostering human-centered artistic mentorship & collaboration—as well as facilitating access to networking and job opportunities for artists in the Philippines
