Mister Ogg is an extraterrestrial from Dimension Z that appears in the episode "Mr. Ogg Goes to Town" of the 1987 TMNT cartoon.
He can warp reality to create whatever he wants, but has a fetish for eating ancient ceramics. He can make brand new pots and vases at will, but prefers the taste of vintage porcelain. “The older the better.”
In a certain sense, in this AI future we’re all plowing into, we’re all Mister Ogg. Anyone can power out a new web app in minutes, but who’s going to use it? In an age of abundance, authenticity is everything.
What do you think accrues value in a world where production is free?
