…and one generates a dog shit image and says to the other “buy this for 500 million”. So the other AI company buys it.

Then the other AI company generates a dog shit image and says to the first AI company “but this for 500 million”. And they do.

Later the first AI company say “I feel like we haven’t accomplished anything today.”

So the second says “of course we did, we added 1 billion to the national GDP!”

      get home from work in the United Soviet States of America in 2024
      thirty hour weeks are tough, but I get more vacation days than most people in order to make up for it
      boot up my home PC, an Electronika 9100 XMT
      it’s located in my garage, in a standard rack mount along with its standard power source and network components
      head to the terminal in my living room to actually use it
      computer monitor makes a satisfying hum as it comes to life
      see the logo for the default OS pop up
      it’s a Linux distribution maintained by the Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences
      it’s good enough
      go into Firefox, log onto my favorite website
      it’s called Hexbear, it’s a pretty standard BBCode forum
      see that I have a private message
      a comrade is calling me a revisionist
      they sent me a picture of a pig pooping on its balls

        Soviet America, modernized Soviet technology, the world still hasn’t left the model of a computer itself and a hardware terminal as two separate machines even in home single-user computing, the Soviet Union has a State Linux Distro, and leftist places online are the same sectarian cesspit they are in our timeline… god, this one’s got everything. Soviet America stuff always makes me want to live in that timeline, but this one hit so hard. Mmm.

        It’s an imagining of what life would be like under communism, you have to work 30 hours a week which is a lot but you get more months of vacation to make up for it, then they log in their living room and bring up Hexbear.
