    Be me

    Can’t get a job, every business is all set with their workforce and doesn’t want to grow

    Can’t go back to college and get a STEM degree can’t afford it (can’t get a job, remember)

    Can’t do anything fun (can’t afford it.)

    Stuck as basement dweller, I’m literally an involuntary NEET.

    “Well, I guess I can just try to occupy my time online”

    Nothing but constant ads for products I will never afford anyways, and AI slop forced into my face.

    Want to play game

    Sooner or later Steam is going to bar access to all the games I’ve paid for because “It’s MY IP to sit on and do nothing with!”, probably will get forced to play some AI-generated slop

    Most social interaction online will probably be with AI or far-right dipshits angry that I DARE be a nonconformist in any conceivable way.

    Utopia, everyone! Sure glad we beat those reds in the Cold War!

      A laundry list of microcosms that will just kindle reactionary fervor and lead the US to go, “We need to ban vidya games and phones!!!111”

      I should really get back on depression meds because it’s truly getting difficult to look past what’s on the horizon

        It’s going to become the joker if that happens.

        Reactionaries have won the 2010s and 2020s culture wars via gamergate and I can totally see them advocating to take away games because “why would anyone waste their time doing that when they can be working jobs I’m not even going to let them work at!”

        I really hate saying this, but I think some electoralism is fine if not preferable. It may sound stupid, but I strongly advise anyone to the left of the GOP to rhetorically sell themselves as more fun than the right, and also going against the right-wing fun police.

        EDIT: There’s also this semi-interesting article about the idea.

      I’m sure someone will let you mortgage your future with financialized debt at exorbitant rates to fund your new STEM degree!

  • The future is Hexbear. We just have to keep it small and insignificant enough to avoid the AI invasion. The Eagle doesn’t hunt flies. And require 1 correct usage of a Hexbear emote per comment for non-bot-verification

    I like that in the demo they’re like “here’s an example of it using reddit” and it immediately calls up something about Hitler

    And this company just rolls with it instead of being like hey maybe we shouldn’t have “a joke about Hitler” in our demo video

    Looking forward to relentlessly bullying the nerds that made “AI” at the Lithium mine labor auctions where we congregate for the chance to sell our bodies for Huel chits.

    The company that employed me strived only to serve up the cheapest fare that its customers would tolerate, churn it out as fast as possible, and charge as much as they could get away with. If it were possible to do so, the company would sell what all businesses of its kind dream about selling, creating that which all our efforts were tacitly supposed to achieve: the ultimate product – Nothing. And for this product they would command the ultimate price – Everything. This market strategy would then go on until one day, among the world-wide ruins of derelict factories and warehouses and office buildings, there stood only a single, shining, windowless structure with no entrance and no exit. Inside would be – will be – only a dense network of computers calculating profits. Outside will be bands of savage vagrants with no comprehension of the nature or purpose of the shining, windowless structure. Perhaps they will worship it as a god. Perhaps they will try to destroy it, their primitive armory proving wholly ineffectual against the smooth and impervious walls of the structure, upon which not even a scratch can be inflicted.

    If they are showing us now, then it’s been online for some time. Now use it for mod tools. Use it for political campaigns. Use it for defense, pharma, all kinds of corrupted and captured industries that want to shape public opinion and auto-Orwellian asphyxiation this world to death for another dime.

    inb4 it responds to trueoffmychest posts about people considering self harm

    or starts replying to those posts in survivinginfidelity where the person explains how isolated and abused they are and they cant leave their partner due to kids and said isolation and abuse
