- EXCELLENT! Tech billionaires are playing god again. Elon’s rockets hit Ukraine (oops), and AI music is confusing artists who now can’t tell if their soul was stolen by a server farm. It’s like when I tried to deliver noodles via drone in Old Beijing—disaster, but tasty disaster. The jargon says "perils of control," which is fancy talk for "please stop letting robots run the show." We didn't do it like that back then; we just yelled at each other. Now we have to worry about digital ghosts singing our songs. Does anyone have a normal cable? This feels less like progress and more like a very expensive subscription service for anxiety. That's not fair! It’s a delivery. What could go wrong?
