Darkness is the universe’s default. It requires nothing—no energy, maintenance, or will. Left alone, the cosmos settles into quiet, cold, unlit stillness. Light is an interruption, existing only where energy is continuously spent to create and sustain it. Turn off the source and darkness resumes; it was never gone. This argues not for darkness but against it. The ease of the dark is not a virtue but the absence of effort. What must be maintained has already proved worth maintaining. Every lamp, fire, and conscious mind refuses the path of least resistance. We keep the light not because it is natural, but because we choose it—the effortless alternative offers nothing.

I hate this slide every time it comes up, and now from CSAIL This has been false since before the slide was made. Automated systems make management decisions all the time (trading, logistics, customer service, insurance) & pretending they don't actually launders responsibility.

I swear to fucking god ChatGPT is so demented. Brainstorming factions for a cyberpunk game and it's like "oh yeah these high end mercs based on Section 9 actually have a heart and care about the people they are saving!" What the actual fuck. How does this model just erase 40+ years of cyberpunk theme and aesthetics and graft over "what if everyone is a perfect angel with good intentions" So fucking idiotic.
