Realistically, the word “manifesto” is pretty fun to say.
Phonetically speaking…
Sounds like a comic book villain.
Sounds like a WWF wrestler.
Sounds like a Mexican holiday.
Sounds like a coming of age party, like a Latin bar mitzvah.
Sounds like a grappling submission move.
Sounds like a high-end frisbee.
Man-i-fest-o
Sounds like an Italian dessert.
Sounds like high-end sneakers.
Sounds like a gay parade.
Sounds like a disease that kills humpback whales.

Boss had me feeding self-made tongue twisters into an AI music generator.
A Motown song about super slippery salamanders sliding down some secret ,seductive, stop sign shaped silliness so seldom associated with someone’s sarcasm.
Clicked the button, about 5 seconds passed, then it spit out a banger.
Just like that.
Every word included, tied to the most perfect melody.
Freaked me out.
Legitimately.
Freaked me the fuck out.
Five seconds.
It did the hardest part of music for you.
Kind of wish I could aggregate my entire typed diary, feed it into it and see what kind of song it spit out.
The harsh reality?
Emo.
It would probably spit out some horrible emo track.
I’d laugh π€£
That technology is both amazing and terrifying.
It really is.
Humans really are something else and it feels like we are accelerating faster and faster.
Which is good.
At the end it’s probably good.
Just has a lot of side effects.
And digital life is so very tempting to the nobodies, because you’re like, somebody in there maaaaan.
There’s no gatekeepers, it’s Even ground.
And I think that’s the appeal.
None of that “life competition” stuff.
They have hacked the reward systems.
Interesting stuff π€π€
Might get a fuckin swear jar.
Maybe an AI feeding aggregated stories to news networks, developing the precise narrative to elicit a response from the populace.
Whatever we have now, the secret government has had for 10 years or more, imagine asking it questions about how you could control mass amounts of people.
What kind of stories would it feed you?
What kind of chess moves?
The idea of a lunatic, also completely possible
