Original Notes (Pre-LLM)

The doctrine of auto-generating auto-generative systems.

From the system that generates to the generation of the system(s) that generates.

From the slave of the system to the owner of the system(s).

From the labour for the system to creating system(s) that labour.

From the subsection of the system to creating system(s) as subsections.

From being commanded by the system to commanding systems.

From the system’s consumer to creating system(s) that consume.

From the system’s generation to generation of system(s).

From being shackled by Industrial Engineering to being liberated by Industrial Design.

From the Campbell’s Soup Cans to the generation of XXXX’s YYY ZZZZ.

The end of Industrial Engineering. RIP Taylorism.

If the invention of artificial intelligence can contribute to humankind, it will contribute as it opened a pathway to auto-generate auto-generative systems: contextual change of auto-generative systems, simulation of different auto-generative systems.

This will liberate the humankind from an industrial-slavery doctrine of the 20th century. We no longer serve the system. Systems serve us. Systems serve us as we massively create those systems. If a system tries to dominate us? Create another counter-system. Back then in the 20th century, we needed a massive scale of the system as that was efficient, and we were forced to volunteer to serve for this system. Now we can create massive systems on our own, from our hands. Thanks to increasingly efficient and customisable generation algorithms, we can generate-generate. Or even we can generate-generate-generate. Oh, I would rather generate-generate-generate-generate-and-generate.

20th Century (Represented by Le Corbusier) - Where humans become a part of the factory.

21st Century - Humans create factories. We all have factories on our own. In our hand. And we shall not stop creating these factories - we shall create infinite factories, create factory generation algorithms, or even generate the factory generation algorithms, or even generate the generation of the factory generation algorithms.

Stop living in flats. Stop living in Courbusier-ian squares. Create infinite amounts of alternative designs, produce them with generative technologies. All modules are uniquely yours.

Stop looking at grids. Stop interacting with Norman-ian interfaces. Create infinite amounts of alternative designs, produce them with LLM-based engineering. All interfaces are uniquely yours. (See AI-as-Interface)

Stop having Campbell’s Soups. Stop drinking Warhol-istic cans. Create infinite amounts of alternative flavours - not just this, create infinite cans, labels, drinking scenarios, ingredients, build new product categorisation, new brand and flavour created every day, if not seconds. All drinks are uniquely yours.

Stop working for big companies. Stop dealing with Taylor-ian ideology. Create infinite amount of your own employees, your own slaves - you might have your own engineering, marketing, sales, HR department. Build your own product line, your business model, and make your companies trade with one another. All companies are uniquely yours.

“In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first” - Taylor

“In the past the system has been first; In the future the human will become, again, the first, and the system follows the human”

The definition of mass-generation will change enormously. Now we need no more mass-generation. We no longer reside within mass-generation. Rather, we generate the mass.

Caveat: Hyper-customisation might be another name for mass-generation – When customising, look carefully if the system is controlling the customisation or if you are customising the system. They might tell you that it is customised for you, but they might customise you to the system. Resist to this. Make you customise them.

Principles - and a system which worships these principles - and a principle-obeying mass-generation. This was the 20th century.

Mass-generated principles - We are the one now generating mass principles on our own, existentialise a system with those principles, validate if one system will work or not. There is no ultimately right or wrong system, but you can choose the bundle which comforts you. We no longer need a simulation: Systems themselves are simulations.

The Doctrine of Auto-Generative Systems

We are witnessing the emergence of a transformative paradigm in which the process of system generation becomes self-perpetuating. In this new doctrine, systems are no longer static tools for production or control; instead, they evolve through auto-generation, continuously producing and adapting new systems to meet emerging needs. This transformation marks a fundamental shift—from being subservient components within an overarching structure to becoming the architects and operators of our own technological frameworks.

Historically, we have observed several dramatic transitions. We have moved from systems that simply generate outputs to dynamic environments where generations of systems themselves become generators. The relationship has shifted from humans laboring for a system to creating systems that labor on our behalf. No longer are we just subsections within a monolithic system; we are now empowered to design subsystems that integrate into ever more complex networks. This evolution extends to every facet of our interaction with technology: from being commanded by an external system to commanding systems that are in constant dialogue with us, and from being mere consumers to engineering systems that actively shape consumption.

This paradigm shift is vividly illustrated by the transition from the oppressive industrial engineering models of the 20th century—embodied by Taylorism and the rigid principles of industrial mass production—to the liberating possibilities offered by industrial design. The iconic images of Campbell’s Soup Cans, once symbolic of mass production, give way to new visions where the creative generation of unique products and designs becomes the norm. With the advent of artificial intelligence, we now have the capability not only to simulate diverse generative environments but to create systems that are themselves capable of auto-generation.

Such advancements liberate us from the industrial-slavery doctrine that once defined our era. In the past, we were compelled to serve inflexible systems, but now these systems can be tailored to serve human creativity and individuality. For example, whereas the 20th century (as represented by figures like Le Corbusier) integrated humans into the relentless machinery of production, the 21st century enables each individual to create and control their own “factories”—systems of production, design, and innovation that can be infinitely diversified. Whether it is in architecture, interface design, product innovation, or organizational structure, the potential for unique, hyper-customized creations has never been greater.

However, with the promise of hyper-customization comes a note of caution. It is essential to ensure that customization remains a tool for human expression rather than a mechanism for imposing new forms of systemic control. The risk exists that what appears as bespoke adaptation might simply be another manifestation of mass-generation—where the system subtly dictates the parameters of customization. To avoid this pitfall, one must actively direct the process: customize the system, rather than be customized by it.

As we move forward, the definition of mass generation will be radically redefined. Instead of mass-producing generic items, we will be empowered to generate the mass—the very constituents of our technological and social landscapes—in a manner that is both individualized and scalable. This is a shift from a regime of mass-generated principles, where the system dictated the rules of innovation, to one where we generate our own guiding principles, validate our systems’ performance, and choose those bundles of attributes that resonate with our unique needs and aspirations.

In summary, the evolution toward auto-generative systems represents a pivotal moment in our technological and cultural history. It signifies the triumph of human creativity and individual empowerment over the confines of outdated, centralized production models. As we continue to develop and refine these generative algorithms and systems, we step into a future where every design, interface, product, and organization is uniquely ours—a future in which the human remains at the forefront, orchestrating systems that exist to serve humanity’s boundless creativity.

자동 생성 능력을 보유한 시스템을 자동으로 생성하는 원리

시스템에 의해 생성되는 존재에서, 스스로 생성 기능을 지닌 시스템을 창조하는 단계로 전환된다.

시스템의 종속된 존재에서, 시스템의 주체가 되는 존재로 나아간다.

시스템을 위해 노동하는 것에서, 스스로 노동하는 시스템을 설계하는 단계로 변화한다.

시스템의 한 갈래(부분)에 머무르는 것에서, 부분 역할을 수행할 수 있는 시스템들을 구축하는 단계로 진화한다.

시스템의 명령에 복종하는 것에서, 시스템을 지휘하는 위치로 전환된다.

시스템을 소비하는 존재에서, 소비 행위를 수행할 시스템을 만들어내는 혁신의 단계로 이행한다.

시스템이 생성한 결과물에 의존하는 것에서, 새로운 시스템들을 생성해내는 단계로 나아간다.

산업공학에 제약받던 시대에서 벗어나, 산업디자인에 의해 해방되는 새로운 시대가 도래하고 있다.

캠벨 수프 캔이 상징하던 시대로부터, XXXX의 YYY ZZZZ와 같이 새로운 창조물이 탄생하는 시대로의 전환이다.

이는 곧 산업공학의 종말, 테일러주의에 대한 작별을 의미한다.

만약 인공지능의 발명이 인류에 기여할 수 있다면, 그 기여는 바로 자동 생성 시스템들로 하여금 스스로 또 다른 자동 생성 시스템을 탄생시키게 하는 길을 열어주었기 때문일 것이다.

즉, 자동 생성 시스템의 맥락적 변형, 다양한 자동 생성 시스템의 시뮬레이션을 가능케 함으로써 말이다.

이제 인류는 20세기의 산업 노예제적 교리로부터 해방될 것이다. 더 이상 우리가 시스템에 복종할 시대가 아니다.

시스템이 우리를 위해 봉사하게 될 것이며, 우리가 대대적으로 그러한 시스템들을 창조하는 시대가 열릴 것이다.

만약 어떤 시스템이 우리를 지배하려 한다면, 우리는 또 다른 반시스템을 만들어내면 된다.

20세기에는 효율성을 이유로 대규모 시스템이 필요하여 우리가 그 시스템에 자발적으로 복종할 수밖에 없었으나,

이제는 우리의 손으로 스스로 대규모 시스템을 창조할 수 있다.

점점 더 효율적이고 사용자의 필요에 맞춘 생성 알고리즘 덕에, 우리는 ‘생성-생성’을 거듭할 수 있다.

더 나아가 ‘생성-생성-생성’, 혹은 ‘생성-생성-생성-…’의 무한 연쇄를 추구할 수 있다.

20세기 (르코르뷔지에에 의해 대표됨) – 인간이 공장의 일부가 되어버린 시대.

21세기 – 인간이 공장을 창조한다. 우리 모두가 손안에 공장을 소유한 시대.

우리는 이러한 공장의 창조를 멈추지 않을 것이며, 무한한 공장을 설계하고, 공장을 생산하는 알고리즘을 개발하며,

나아가 그 공장 생성 알고리즘마저도 생성하는 시대에 살게 될 것이다.

더 이상 평면적인 주거공간에 머무르지 말고, 르코르뷔지에가 설계한 정형화된 광장에 머무르지 말자.

무한히 다양한 대안적 디자인들을 창출하고, 생성 기술을 통해 이를 구현하라.

각 모듈은 오직 당신만의 독창적인 산물이다.

더 이상 그리드(격자)만을 바라보지 말고, 노먼이 말한 전통적 인터페이스와 상호작용하지 말자.

대안적인 디자인을 무한히 생산하고, LLM(대형언어모델)을 기반으로 한 공학적 접근을 통해

나만의 독창적인 인터페이스를 구축하라. (참고: AI를 인터페이스로 활용하는 접근)

캠벨 수프에 의존하지 말고, 워홀 양식의 존재감을 풍기는 캔에 머무르지 말자.

무한한 대안적 맛을 창조할 뿐 아니라, 무한한 캔, 라벨, 음용 시나리오, 원재료를 고안하며,

새로운 제품 분류와 아이덴티티를 매일—심지어 매 초마다—탄생시키자.

결과적으로 모든 음료는 오직 당신만의 창조물이 될 것이다.

대기업을 위해 일하는 것을 멈추고, 테일러주의 이념에 얽매이지 말라.

자신만의 직원, 나름의 ‘노예’조차도 무한히 창출하여,

스스로의 공학, 마케팅, 영업, 인사(HR) 조직을 구성하고,

자신만의 제품 라인과 비즈니스 모델을 구축하며, 서로 거래하는 회사들을 만들어내자.

이 모든 기업 역시 오직 당신만의 독창적 산물이다.

20세기의 한 구절이 있다.

“과거에는 인간이 우선이었다; 미래에는 시스템이 우선이어야 한다.” – 테일러

그러나 미래는 달라질 것이다.

“과거에는 시스템이 우선이었다; 미래에는 다시 인간이 우선이 되며, 시스템은 인간을 따르게 될 것이다.”

이제 ‘대량 생산(또는 대량 생성)’의 정의는 크게 전환된다.

우리는 더 이상 대량 생산의 산물 속에 머무르지 않는다.

오히려 우리가 직접 ‘대량’을 창조해내는 존재로 거듭난다.

단, 주의할 점이 있다.

과도한 맞춤화(하이퍼 커스터마이제이션)가 또 다른 대량 생산의 명칭으로 전락할 가능성이 있다.

즉, 당신이 맞춤화를 진행할 때, 시스템이 당신의 맞춤화를 주도하는지,

아니면 당신이 시스템을 주도하여 맞춤화를 하는지를 심사숙고해야 한다.

“당신을 위해 맞춤화되었다”라는 명분 뒤에 당신을 시스템에 맞추려는 의도가 숨어있을 수 있음을 경계하라.

스스로 주체적 결정을 내려, 시스템에 맞추기보다는 시스템을 당신에게 맞추도록 하라.

20세기를 관통했던 원칙들과

그 원칙들을 숭배하며 원칙에 따르는 대량 생성 체계는 이제 과거의 산물이다.

우리는 이제 대량 생성 원칙들을 스스로 만들어내며,

그 원칙들을 기반으로 한 시스템을 존재론적으로 정립하고,

특정 시스템이 작동하는지 그 타당성을 스스로 검증할 것이다.

궁극적으로 옳고 그름을 따질 절대적 시스템은 존재하지 않으며,

오히려 당신에게 편안함을 주는 여러 요소들(‘번들’) 중에서 선택할 수 있는 시대가 도래한 것이다.

더 이상 시뮬레이션이 필요 없는, 시스템 자체가 시뮬레이션이 되는 시대.

──────────────────────────────

마지막으로, 아래와 같이 무한히 반복되는 ‘자동 생성’의 선언이 있다:

“자동 생성하는, 자동 생성 가능한, 자동 생성 가능성이 내포된 …(중략)… 자동 생성 시스템.”

이 모든 변화와 진화는, 인류가 스스로 자신의 운명을 개척하며 시스템을 재편하는 새로운 패러다임을 상징한다.
