       Met a fascinating pair of IT students last night whose hobby is creating fake people, millions of them. Fuck, billions for all I know. The fake people, not the IT studentsSo, they've automated a 'primitive ai' (their words) to randomly generate people and sign them up to everything! All the socials and rewards programs, anything that thirsts for personal data. They don't post or use their skills for evil (I fucking would), they just want to collapse the system'We're going to push enough shit data everything becomes worthless'Our hypothesis is it already is. Most popular SM? Insta. Even the "real" people are fake'So for a donation of $20 you can fund 85k new fake people with which we'll further clog this absolute bullshit.'Sign me up, kids(And yes, I'm aware they probably blew that cash on weed but the concept is solid and they should be rewarded for it)

       OK, found them (more accurately, they found me) and it didn't go well'You splashed us all over Mastodon.''Not intentionally. No wait, it was intentional. Was drunk. You bought the second beer!''And they like us?''Read the feed. They fucking love you. Make a business out of that shit.''A business predicated on ruining our own industry.''Exactly.'
