CHASE. (WRITING MODE)

Belum baca semua, tapi ini nyohik betul. Terutama kalimat terakhirnya. 🔥 #sikap.

Oke, serius 100%: reading the entirety of this zine feels like reading a revolutionary pamphlet and becoming a part of a progressive movement. Kita diajak larut ke dalam skenario-skenario "what if". Apa jadinya jika manusia enggan memiliki kerangka berpikir dan terlena dalam "kemudahan" yang ditawarkan oleh kecerdasan buatan? I felt like I was going through Black Mirroresque experiences... Tapi habis itu ditampar keras-keras sama esai yang hadir laiknya peringatan, kecaman, dan pengingat—ditulis dengan bahasa sederhana dan (seharusnya) sangat mudah dipahami oleh segala lini. Kisah-kisahnya ngga muluk, ngga ada perandaian hiperbola. But the symbolism, the metaphors, the allegories are all top notch. The world with all the simplicities of machineries and AI may seem like an ideal world at first, but then you'll realize that it's empty. It's hollow; meaningless, even. And then you'll ask yourself: what is it that makes life worth living? What is it that makes us humans? The intricacies of humanity—its highs, its lows, and the in-betweens—are actually what make life interesting. Esai-esainya pun ngga membosankan untuk dibaca. Kita diajak berpikir, bukan dipaksa untuk berpikir. Setiap kalimat dirangkai dalam rangka berdialog antar manusia. Bukan mendoktrin, melainkan mengundang untuk tetap berpegang pada pedoman yang kukuh: kita manusia yang berakal dan berbudi dan bernurani. Sungguh layak dan sepantasnya kita bisa memilah, memilih, dan mengolah. Wah, asli, keren parah ini project. Everyone should read it and truly understand the content, the context, and the underlying messages.

xn--10vr25f.xn--6ii Habis buka zine ini, semakin menyadari bahwasanya there are so many amazing writings to read, plenty of characters to interact with and analyze while we're at it... At such heights, I feel this sense of pride for being a part of a wonderful community and creative collective (RPW), you see. Setiap ada yang bilang "semoga lekas keluar dari dunia itu", I find myself asking "emangnya apa yang salah dari RP?" because the RP environment I am in is full of profound writers and artists. So kudos to all of you who create without using AI, to all of you who are passionate about your own crafts and never surrender to the temptation of mind-numbing easy-way-outs (AI). @G4750_SD, salam ke semua orang yang terlibat di Zine ini, brodi. Asli, keren parah.
