Note about our AI use:

While Issue #1 , The Dawning Age of Culturian, was almost entirely synthetic, this latest edition introduces a curated selection of real-world photography featured in the article "New Technologies are Competing to Win the Race to Repair and Replace Our Organs" and within the Digemini Moralgorithms advertisement.

The majority of the remaining visuals are Midjourney-generated synthographs (a term coined by Elke Reinhuber). This issue also features a unique collaboration with EY Innovation consultants and Futures strategists David Huntington and Phil Park, who contributed the full copy and art direction for the Digemini Moralgorithms advertisement.

To maintain editorial transparency, all ChatGPT-4 text contributions are marked with a robot icon at the bottom of the page. Furthermore, all AI illustrations are presented as pure, unedited outputs from Midjourney versions 5.1 and 5.2—completely unphotoshopped to showcase the raw capability of the algorithms.
