...and one generates a dog shit image and says to the other "buy this for 500 million". So the other AI company buys it.

Then the other AI company generates a dog shit image and says to the first AI company "but this for 500 million". And they do.

Later the first AI company say "I feel like we haven't accomplished anything today."

So the second says "of course we did, we added 1 billion to the national GDP!"

get home from work in the United Soviet States of America in 2024
thirty hour weeks are tough, but I get more vacation days than most people in order to make up for it
boot up my home PC, an Electronika 9100 XMT
it's located in my garage, in a standard rack mount along with its standard power source and network components
head to the terminal in my living room to actually use it
computer monitor makes a satisfying hum as it comes to life
see the logo for the default OS pop up
it's a Linux distribution maintained by the Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences
it's good enough
go into Firefox, log onto my favorite website
it's called Hexbear, it's a pretty standard BBCode forum
see that I have a private message
a comrade is calling me a revisionist
they sent me a picture of a pig pooping on its balls

Soviet America, modernized Soviet technology, the world still hasn't left the model of a computer itself and a hardware terminal as two separate machines even in home single-user computing (which does actually track, Soviet civilian/household technology did tend to be... much less separated in its paradigms from military and workplace tech than similar types of multi-purpose tech in the West), the Soviet Union has a State Linux Distro, and leftist places online are the same sectarian cesspit they are in our timeline... god, this one's got everything. Soviet America stuff always makes me want to live in that timeline, but this one hit so hard. Mmm.

It's definitely a pleasant few moments of reading

It's only 800 and some characters long, which while making it on the longer end of the spectrum is far from the top. It is however possibly the longest in terms of screen-space taken up due to it's use of many paragraphs.

I don't think I've seen that one.

It's an imagining of what life would be like under communism, you have to work 30 hours a week which is a lot but you get more months of vacation to make up for it, then they log in their living room and bring up Hexbear.
