And a lot of that content is probably an AI generated hallucination.

Most of what I've seen in the news so far is due to content based on shitposts from reddit, which is even funnier imo

I do dislike when the “actual news” starts bringing up social media reactions. Can you imagine a whole show based on the Twitter burns of this week? … it would probably be very popular. 😭

Absolutely. I wrote about this a while back in an essay:

Prime and Mash / Kuru

Basically likening it to a prion disease like Kuru, which humans get from eating the infected brains of other humans.

Anyone who puts something in their coffee, makes it not coffee, and should try another caffeinated beverage!!
