    Browser: “Are you gonna order somethin’ kid!?” (all subsequent data streams to Google for future sale)

    User: “Uh yeah, give me, gimme a tab.”

    Browser: “A tab. I can’t give you a tab unless you order something!”

    User: “But I’m jonesin for some saccharin … not that newtra-schweddy or whatever it is”

    Biff Yaml enters; sits two spaces down, feeling sexagesimal: “What are you looking at, BUTTHEAD!?” (all of his comments are one line)

    Python Strickland enters: "User what are you doing? Four spaces are used for indentation. You got a real attitude problem, user; you’re a slacker! You remind me of your dunder father when he went here; he was a slacker, too! Quack quack. (his package is poorly managed)

    Linus Torvalds enters: heavy breathing … curses in Finnish (Älykääpiö!) … gits out

    IBM Selectric: “Hold my beer … and my ball”

    Obnoxious neighbor kid walks in (a real ascii): Invokes char(11)/VT; sits on the floor. His Mylar balloon flies away, hits a high voltage line, and the power goes out.

    Browser: “Well, looks like the milkshake machine’s broken.”

    Teletype Model 28 looks up from drinking coffee and reading the morning paper tape: “I would like to be … modified”

    Doc Mill (nee’ Rampazetto) enters: (shudders) “Momma bollocks!”

    During this time, Helium was on a noble mission and did not react.

    This is 1970s, not 80s . Pretty sure a cart full o groceries was way over $20 in the eighties, after a card full of collected grocery chain stamps was saved and turned in. Inflation and all that.

    Anyway… how bout some Suzy Qs, ‘Chun King’ (is that oriental flavor?), Kraft Mac N Cheese…and Hawaiian punch?

    Break out the silver and spic-and-span those no-wax floors; the gobnah’s comin ovah to-nite!





    • The words ‘calculate’, ‘control’, and ‘manipulating’ appear above, but the words ‘people’ and ‘corrupt’ do not
    • The fundamental problem of all systems of economy is that they are governed and corrupted by people
    • The current ML cargo-culting provides little help here: it has been force-fed a diet of mental vomit. Any economic governance solution via ML would predictably be corrupted by humans and result in the same outcomes

    The world would have benefited if the Chilean experiment had run to completion and provided knowledge. But of course, again, people. Perhaps we lack requisite variety in our Beer. After all, the market can remain irrational far longer than anyone can stay solvent -> alcohol is a solvent-> Beer is alcohol.
