The hallucinating, gaslighting, sycophantic chatbots that were hyped via propaganda campaigns that promoted them as the future and key to efficiency, are now destroying humanity and locking people in addictive cycles of delusion.

"Ya better hop on board! Don't wanna get left behind..."

The hallucinating sycophantic chatbots are not only destroying the capacity for human relationships and interactions, they're not even "efficient" and have destroyed most of the companies that have embraced them.

The economy is absolute shit. "AI" companies aren't even making any money but the chatbot addicts are still throwing endless piles of cash at them to burn while chasing the high that will never deliver (the cycle of desperate delusions common to any addiction), because the chatbots have them convinced (deluded) they're always on the edge of the big breakthrough that will finally make it all worthwhile.

And as the number of data centers increases, people are starting to take notice it sure does seem to be getting hot in this pot of boiling water... "Wonder what that's all about? I'll ask the company that owns the data center if it's anything I should be concerned about?"

"... Nope, turns out there's a reassuring explanation for why this is all fine and nothing is as it seems... It just feels like this pot of water is getting hotter to you, but facts don't care about your feelings. You can't argue with facts..."

"Just relax and come on in, the water's fine!"

Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough

It isn't fit for humans now,

There isn't grass to graze a cow

Swarm over, Death!

Is slough the only place that is used ironically in media, but sarcastically IRL?

How many is that in American

But seriously, that’s a huge jump.

I'm guessing about 30 American degrees.
