Imagine the matrix came out today. A movie where people have become nothing more than disposable interchangeable sources of energy for a society run by machines. With an endless supply of media/simulated reality used to placate the human livestock and keep them from rising up. Oh and the pinnacle of human history is the 1990s. That all checks out way too much, there's no way this movie would be allowed to be made today.

The real problem is avocado toast.

Is there any credit to artist?

I love this comic because in the "make it or make it perfect" debate, I'd rather 100 flawed comics asking people to think then 1 perfect comic that does the same. Hell yeah to typos and imperfect art!

AI in most movies: Evil killing robot.

AI in reality: Evil robot that convinces others to kill, also makes bad "art" en masse that it hurts artists' visibility, also makes subpar code en masse that it hurts open source projects' visibility, not to mention it melts your brain.

(When will the first slasher movie come out, that features a troubled person getting addicted to a chatbot, which turns them into a serial killer?)

Any of you seeing the text too small and distorted?

I don't think you could. Fight Club is about a few different things but it rests on a societal shape that doesn't really exist anymore. No one looks at modern society as stable on any level unless they are older and living the memory of the society of their childhood. The inability to afford the stuff from the pottery barn catalog means many people can't afford identifying with their stuff. The young people born this century have so little they can rely on epistemically they can end up latching onto really weird things. 'I want to join the military because it seems like it pays okay, I can meet the requirements if I live at the gym, it'll make my dad like me despite his toxic masculinity, but I don't like the idea of murdering people, so I'm going to become a medical spec ops guy so I only have to kill defensively and will be dedicating my life to saving lives.' - paraphrased from a real conversation

If I used dating apps, I would mention I like fight club, starship troopers, and V for vendetta in bio. Just keep people guessing.

I think men would misunderstand the message of fight club even more now and it would become a white supremacist hit.

Ah yes. Our for fathers
