Imagine a future in which late-stage capitalism became able to scan cadavers' brains and transfer them into chatbots unless the deceased subscribes to a high-tier funerary services plan. Behold the ultimate wet dream of those who think Black Mirror is meant as an instruction manual: KadAIve®!
Alt-text contains important explanation about this absurdist art (such as, the deliberate mimicking of AI slop machine style and the hidden puns/messages within the text), but will likely end up truncated because it's way too lengthy (too many details that ought to be explained). Hell, it's even exceeds the 5000 character limit when I try to paste the alt-text here in the post.

“Release” is a #dystopian #SciFi #MMRomance by Marie Sexton.
Misha grew up in the “trenches” of lower Davlova, where the poorest citizens scratch out a living without technology while the high-born “purebloods” live in electrified luxury behind the walls of the inner city on the hill. Misha gets taken in by one of the clans, criminal gangs that run all sorts of operations in the city. Over the years, Misha learned the fine art of pickpocketing. Sometimes he also turns tricks to see if a potential mark had a lot of money, and where he kept it.
One day, the clan leader offers Misha a new opportunity. One of the most powerful men in the city is looking for a new toy boy and wants someone “exotic.” The clan leader isn’t just asking Misha to prostitute himself. She wants him to gain the man’s confidence and learn his secrets. The information may provide the catalyst that starts a revolution.

#BigBurger Is #Listening to you! Better be polite!
#BurgerKing #AIBot will check up on staffs' please and thank yous
This latest step by Burger King elicited swift condemnation among some social media users who described it as "#dystopian".
by Danielle Kaye, 2/26/2026
Excerpt: "The AI system, called BK Assistant, compiles "friendliness scores" at the fast-food chain's locations based on employees' conversations, according to a promotional video the company shared with the BBC.
"The chain is currently piloting the system at 500 US restaurants, a spokesperson for Burger King said.
"The company says the technology is not designed to 'record conversations or evaluate individual employees'." [Yeah, right, sure...]

#AI, open source or otherwise, is an existential threat to millions of people's #livelihoods.
Either we, as a #society, come up with a way that people can maintain or even improve their lives while working less...
or we'll end up in a #dystopian society where a few billionaires will have all the #manufacturing means forcing the rest of us to #beg, #steal and scrape together what little we can to buy daily #necessities from those same billionaires.
