Nothing short of a Butlerian Jihad will free us from the machines.

Sorry, we need to frack the land and spew smoke in the air to produce energy for the AI algorithms.

May I interest you in a virtual nature experience? We have an ad-driven tier.

Like a virtual forest, but the tree leaves all carry the coca cola logo? And the clouds in the sky form various company slogans?

Dude, if we had better control over nature, there would be so much more revenue to be gained. I believe biology will have a similar boom as AI right now. Once they figure out how to make patterns on animal fur and plants, the world will change a lot. It's probably good for species diversity though, because each company will want different animals to carry their message.

If only. I so hope that ai is what kills of Facebook in some way.

I think the people on there are doing a fine job killing off FB on their own already

Modern social media: Feed algorithm bots curating and serving up bot-created content for other bots to create fake engagement on so that advertising bots can find the real humans that still exist in the desolate wastelands and market them bot-created ads.

The real suckers are companies paying for ad placements on those bot-ladden social media sites.
