You heard it here first: you should only fear the market once it becomes a bazinga-imperative robot god. Before then, lazy women keep the worst excesses of the market in check, which Grimes claims is a good if temporary thing... i think? morshupls

I regret to inform you (grimes, whoever that is) that capitalism has already developed a baby making factory

I used to argue that back in CA: "The paperclip maximizer is already here and it doesn't even need to be self-aware to destroy the environment to maximize its preprogrammed imperatives."

But no, the treats they consumed said it has to be a scary (and probably sexy) robot deity first for it to be a problem. morshupls

CA?

Yeah, at some point the idea about cyberpunk/whatever other ideas about monstrous god machines being capitalism (or at least modern society, depends on how lib the author is). Early blue curtains, I guess.

yeah it's crazy how "fast" things change. everybody wants pizza at the party and the pizza shows up, but everybody who eats it throws up and says somebody took a shit on it.

now, just hours later, the number of people at the party trying the pizza is down 10%.

truly, this is the end of pizza.

Following this down the road, cause this sorta rambling is my bag.

Capital goes full Matrix and grows us in birthtanks with our brains plugged into n-dimensional adspace, and this is cheaper than people fucking somehow. The Matrix crashes itself in a market bubble after every uploaded tech-broverlord begins chasing faster turn around and cheaper production by skipping on QA. The last generation of humans is born with only the ability to imagine a single NFT.

I heard that grimes drowned in 3 inches of water at the penguin exhibit.

She said she got an 'A' on her Edgar Allen Poe paper and is a scrabble master.

is there a literary equivalent of someone who just talks to hear themselves talk? That seems to sum up Grimes with her posts.

Hi hey quick question, how do we do this infinite growth on a finite planet?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

We colonize space where resources are notoriously abundant and easy to access.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
