summary

Examines how specific images and artifacts shape technical choices and values: the Django success rocket ties success to escape, paleoart (including Dracoraptor hanigani at the museum) embeds cultural bias, and magazine covers show computing's lost sense of joy. Demonstrates Eliza as a pattern-matcher that exposes credulous claims about AI, cites David H Ahl’s books and Compute covers as evidence, and argues imagination traces assumptions not neutral facts.
