@XauriEL It’s not even a new innovation. It’s a reinvention of a device called the #OrphanCrushingMachine, which is not just a machine that crushes orphans, but a whole societal institution that systematically deprives poorer children of their parents so that it would always have an endless supply of orphans.

@XauriEL People used to cheer when the Orphan Crushing Machine was turned off for a day, but due to people never questioning why such a machine even exists, it was only a matter of time before someone in Silicon Valley decided to “revolutionise” the OPM by giving it a fancy new name, its own blockchain to mint NFTs of crushed orphans which can be used as characters in a Metaverse blockchain game, and even manual voice control powered by an LLM.
