"AI has already won"
written on 1 June 2024
The GPS on the tractor stopped working
A person in army fatigues goads a robot dog
into throwing a football at a stadium
Your children have a special relationship
to the sounds of gunshots
It's just a tool
It's just a tool like anything else
I demand it be bought and sold
under lock and key
to a strict clientele
reviewed by my peers
The algorithm behind social media
is going to ruin our minds
But the algorithm christened after scripture
"saves lives" officially
It's just a tool
It's just a tool like anyone else
Like year old hardware made obsolete
To keep mines bloodied for AI chips
No matter what the cost
Winning is its own reward
It's just a tool
Absorb a city's labour recreationally
Less Cybersyn than cyberdyne
In the age of mechanical reproduction,
It's just a tool
It's just a tool like anyone's work
