I wish people would stop linking to X as if we all have accounts and can see the full context and conversation surrounding any post. it’s pretty much a mess if you’re not logged in, I don’t understand why anyone is still using it as a place to announce important things.

this image from the top of the last @404mediaco piece on Facebook AI spam is one of the wildest things i have ever seen. the longer you look at it, the crazier it gets. its like someone drew it out from deep at the root of the sleepy part of the national subconscious. https://www.404media.co/facebooks-ai-spam-isnt-the-dead-internet-its-the-zombie-internet/
