'just another paperclip-maximizing artificial colony organism that treats human beings as inconvenient gut flora'
Endlessly, morbidly fascinating to watch the million-and-one ways that capitalism ruins everything even slightly good in the world before eating itself and sh!tting out the next atrocity. What on earth are people going to make of stuff like this in 100 years' time (if any of us survive, of course)? Monetising attention? Forcing you to spend hours navigating unknown algorithms to try to boost your business or personal brand? The last fossil fuels burned in giant servers pumping out endless streams of cat videos that people barely even watch before scrolling on to the next thing an advertiser wants them to see? It makes the tulip craze positively sane and grounded by comparison... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania
