Rube Goldberg Device for Human Suffering May 21, 2026 at 8:45 am
AI, crypto, and storing data on Americans, all of it represents an incomprehensibly large amount of waste of resources in an attempt to sate incomprehensibly cavernous levels of greed. I continue to be bewildered at how people find themselves supporting any of it.
But then I remember people still think Trump’s doing a good job and it all makes sense. Well, about as much sense as sheer weapons grade stupidity can possibly make.
Just mere symptoms of the human brain contorting itself into a pretzel to make capitalism “work” no matter how many of their limbs they have to saw off to make a system that will inevitably collapse under its own weight last another few months.

Only fools believe AI is a good thing for society
