Just like, patently nuts. I'm not sure I can think of a single end that could justify means such as these. This could be generating World Peace and I would say we should try something else. This is like Omelas but instead a shimmering city it powers a computer that lies to you.

Oh nothing, just having a wonderful Saturday night hanging out with the girl cat, listening to Angel by Massive Attack and doing the subwoofer crawl (lol)
The Subwoofer Crawl (Best Method):
Place your subwoofer on your chair/couch, play a bass-heavy track, and crawl around the room to find where it sounds best (not boomy or empty). Place the subwoofer in that spot.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

Likely the worst El Niño in 140 years. Harvests will be bad even without a fertilizer crisis. GOP will head to elections with scorching food inflation. And they will blame Belgium for not opening Hormuz. And 35% of Americans will be very angry at Belgium.

fuck, man
A paragraph from page 139 of Jean Baudrillard's *Cool Memories* (1990 Verso): “The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts, movies, presenters—there is no alternative but to fill the screen; otherwise there would be an irremediable void. We are back in the Byzantine situation, where idolatry calls on a plethora of images to conceal from itself the fact that God no longer exists. That's why the slightest technical hitch, the slightest slip on the part of a presenter becomes so exciting, for it reveals the depth of the emptiness squinting out at us through this little window.”
