Thank you and happy chatting!

Can't remember if it was here or somewhere else, but it was a Substack article (I think) that phrased it something like this: even if we stopped all machine-generated junk production on the internet right now, it's basically like a layer of sediment covering the internet that we'd have to fucking dig and sift through when looking for whatever real stuff we're looking for. Allowing it to continue is worse.
Good thing the Western economy isn't a giant pile of perverse incentives masquerading as a functional system otherwise we might have a problem with this 
Grey goop but for intellectual works
did this come up naturally in the conversation or...?
Oh yeah. I'm a regular so the dude was happy to share with me.
How was the burger?
It was nice! I got the basic one and added jalapeños and onions 🍔
Excellent
who do you sell ads to though? :pondering-the-orb:
They've begun automating AI purchasing. It'll just be AI loops
i don't think you can sell ads to robot eyes so that robots will buy stuff, they ain't paid shit.
Theyll take out loans at AI banks
Kind of like how all those "best seller" right wing slop books get sold by the truckload to warehouses?
Those are called bribes
Oh man, the GDP is going to go insane.
Man I can't wait for all this AI shit to just completely crash and burn 
The internet is going to just be AI chatbots talking to other AI chatbots in a few months...
thank god, maybe we can finally be done with it
