   Great post in Geminiville on AI ultimately grinding the   
   textural internet to uselessness:   
      
   gemini://michaelnordmeyer.com/gemlog/2024-04-16-the-ai-doom-cycle.gmi   
      
   However, the article ends with this:   
      
   > Money ruins everything.   
      
   I can't help but wonder how someone could write such   
   interesting insights, and yet be so massively clueless on   
   something so simple.   
      
   How could money possibly ruin anything? It's UTTERLY   
   INERT! It can't think, can't plan, can't do a   
   -damned thing in and of itself.   
      
   And yet the author of that article cites it as a ruinous   
   causative agent, as though delivering some great wisdom.   
      
   It's not money's fault! It's egotic assholes using it   
   for their own benefit to the expense and/or inconvenience   
   and/or very real danger of others that ruins everything!   
      
   DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!   
      
   What in bleeping hell does it take to get this species to   
   understand the simplest damned thing?   
      
   Oh... wait... I forgot... ego *can't* see its own   
   maleficence....   
      
   Anyone else ready to make a real change by taking first   
   steps to be rid of that mental illness?   
      
   Or is persisting in blaming inert objects and/or others   
   working too well as procrastination from turning in the   
   direction - i.e. within - to initiate real change that,   
   multiplied by however many billions of us, would inform   
   and power a better world?
