I read the news this morning about artificial intelligence being applied to misinforming populations and they are making us stupid. We were already quite dazed by television, now with social media people are angry and angry. The pandemic was the thing that triggered the total collective delirium that leaves me astounded.”

There are people who have ridden these things in a shameful way and who are now in power, but I remember the bullshit I heard. I am hallucinated and shocked.”
