The true purpose of technological civilization, as directed and controlled by capitalists, seems to be the creation of the infinite paper clip machine.

Except instead of paper clips, its AI having gibberish meeting with each other, AI applying to other AI for jobs, AI simulacra dating other AI simulacra.

It nets out to an unfathomable waste of resources, human potential, and the lethal degradation of our ecosphere.

First as tragedy, then as farce.

All the smart people already warned and suggested better paths and outcomes, but that would cut into next quarter profits so its a non starter.

Similar to how companies are reaching to create the death machine from the book “do not create the death machine”, companies are racing to create the “dead internet”, where even if humanity dies, there will still be internet traffic.

The amount of power the dead internet will use is staggering.

The companies struck first with AI resume filters, but that distinction won’t matter much.
