There's a #mechanicalkeyboard tagged at USD 3,600-8,090 now. Don't get too excited if that alone makes you want to have one. It's sold out and the waitlist is long.

To quote from the product page:

"Nothing about this makes any sense. It is over the top. Needlessly lavish. Exuberantly irrational. And that is the point. If you're looking for a #keyboard to solve only an earthly practical need, the <c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶e̶d̶> is admittedly maybe not for you."

They should've called it the "#Simulacrum" instead.

A Treviri nasce SIMULACRUM – Arte & Fede. Il mio cammino: un ponte tra Calabria e Germania nel segno dell’arte sacra.

how are we deteriorating our society and our accomplishments by doing the minimum, by focusing on maximizing value instead of completing our creations? so-called AI chatbots are the epitome of this. they don't even need to be right, they just need to always have an answer. they take from us the opportunity to appreciate our own art.

the Torment Nexus isn't the worst thing we could make, we are happily creating a much bleaker dystopia right now.

the worst thing we're happily constructing is the Simulacrum Nexus, adding smoothed edges that hide and lie to us about our rough, nuanced world. reality hidden under layer of layer of convenience and simplification and false expertise and knowledge. to simply be tormented would be a kindness instead of to become untethered from reality, tormented by false pleasures, enthusiastically choosing torture every time because we are so lost from what is real.

sheep that choose slaughter because they believe it to be salvation.
