    you will be meat for the coltan mines.

    Is that a reference to Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles?

    A bit long, but well written. It read like a novel, quite enjoyable.

    What a fucking world

    A world of non-thinkers

    At least Donald Boat found some wisdom.

      After contemplating on this: These companies that seek to eliminate thinking, spit in the face of agency. They call themselves agentic yet seek seek to kill all agency and authenticity in the users of their products which is contemptible enough.

      We should all be more like Donald Boat.

      If we can’t change the material conditions that let these losers play with money and toys then we can at least hold them in cultural contempt.

    The man chanting “this… is… necessary…”

    Thats a tool song. I wonder if the reporter knew?

    This is necessary. This is necessary. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life.

    The article reads like a Gibson novel. But it’s not a dystopian future. It’s now.

    What a cool insight into the current situation. Love how the author gives his vision just after reporting the facts.
