MarcC,

@johnshirley2024 @vvandinsky I swear that if the aliens landed, announced they were going to eradicate all human life and were offering contracts to assist in the mass extermination, there'd be no shortage of bidders.

I think an avenue to investigate is white noise.

If you get hired to model poetry for AI, throw in some rubbish like 'The pig in a wig is big' and 'I watch the flowers blossom and play Duke Nukem'.

Not too much or the silicon people will catch on.

Just every so often.

Unfortunately, the reality is bitter for all creative people right now.

I believe the madness will soon stop, but what do I know?

HudsonHutton,

@johnshirley2024 @vvandinsky Hey! They could develop AI to invest in crypto!

johnshirley2024,

@HudsonHutton @vvandinsky already underway I'm sure

yeah it'd be a parasite parasitic on parasitism
