There is a concerning amount of overlap between people who insist on an LLMs pronouns but deny those of human beings.

Me in 2015: Heh, Situationist jokes with Loji are funny even if there's only about 3 people who even understand the bit.

Me in 2017: Huh. You know, Debord is kind of a nut but he had some prescient ideas about late stage capitalism and fetish commodities.

Me in 2024: Camus was right, the only way to authentically exist in our absurd existence is to actively engage with absurdity itself.

Me in 2026: Dadaism and détournement are the only ways to reject the oncoming machine automation of The Spectacle which uses the rational and predictable to rob modern civilization of its humanity and hijack our works to produce grey goo in the pursuit of extending late-stage capitalism. For post-slop existence to have meaning, we must not only embrace the absurd but actively pursue it as a science to foil the commodification of existence itself. The unpredictable subversion of expectations and the random nature of human creativity is the ultimate weapon against the homogenization of culture via machines which infinitely generate soul-less art substitutes for mass consumption via statistical analysis.
