    Can the world just STOP with it’s bullshit already??? Stop with everyday needing to obsess over trump in the news. Stop with finding new, and bizzare uses for AI when it offers no benefit, stop with companies scheming together to collectively cause inflation, stop with corporations buying houses to artificially increase rent, stop with 48% of the nation actively supporting political facism.

    JUST STOP WITH THE BULLSHIT!!! WHY ARE WE DOING ANY OF THIS???

      It’s the new toy everyone is playing with.
      That’s the only way I can rationalize it. It’s not money, cuz everything being done with in a product blows.

        It’s about money, because the people making the shit products want to make money, not good products.

        Capitalism always leads to “how shitty of a product will people still buy”

    There is a concept in post-modern philosophy called “hauntology”. This theory posits that late-capitalist societies loose their ability to imagine different social orders; and cannot imagine the future except as high-tech versions of the current social order. To fill the void of novelty, the culture industry must constantly recycle and repackage old culture.

    Anyway, this isn’t a new phenomena, just a technology enabling us to resurrect live people instead of just fictional characters.
