    Digital Karmageddon: Blowbackfacebook Algorithm For Profit

    Friends, wake up and smell the trough
    If you want to see photos of my lunch
    and scoff
    at examples of how fortunate I am
    and extreme narcissism,
    please add a turd icon in the comments below
    to illustrate that you want me in your deadly
    newly contaminated horseshitbook
    feed. This post is like a toxic turd

    I will no longer call you facebook
    you act like an advanced A.I but exhibit
    critical errors and floors in your prime
    directives

    you seem to play dumb
    and act ignorant
    displaying your obsession with
    shopping habits
    voting habits
    all under the guise of
    “seeing more posts from your friends”

    you have ushered in a new business model
    to the benefit of the few, the same old boys
    those giant international corporations
    atoms oil mafia and news

    those with all the capital to pay for views
    and publishing contracts
    and an army of lawyers

    Do you still collaborate with
    Cambridge Analytica and all those dodgy
    spy agencies
    Are you still selling all
    our fucking data?

    I don’t want the new Trojan business algorithm
    to shut you, dear friend, out of my frothing face-feeding trough
    nom nom nom

    so please leave a flower at the bus stop
    take a walk outside let sunlight burn onto your brain
    stop comparing yourself and your life
    with that of others

    let the D-wave quantum computing A.I bot know
    without a shadow of doubt  that
    you want me,
    you neeeeed me in your feeding trough
    nom nom nom

    Tell the A.I you want my rants
    and music  and books pictures
    perhaps we should make testimonials to our friends
    what makes you human? what makes facebook alien?

    Here’s an idea, represent each of your 26 assigned friends
    with a letter of the alphabet A-Z
    now make a note of the order in which the posts appear
    apply cabalistic logic and artistic creative force to the letters
    Show the A.I who’s boss

    Choose life
    Choose a job
    Choose a career
    Choose a family
    Try and choose face-friends to compare
    yourself with
    choose good looking friends?
    politically oppositional friends?
    choose friends with your genes and fuck the rest?

    Facebook A.I,
    I think you have initiated WOPR & Skynet, or the social equivalent
    Your programers and staff and backers will face an eternity of
    torture at the merciless hypercomputable hands of
    digital karmageddon, or Blowbackfacebook.
    An Algorithm for Profit
    Facebook…
    get off it.

    Facestuck by Steven James Pratt (3/08/12)

    Oh my god, those faces all literally glued to the screen, right across the planet, literally super-glued to the glass plasma crystal screens, unable to move. Eyes look sideways in terror at the images playing in front of them. Gangs of pixels assemble together in self-organized configurations: the words ‘Cheeky mouthy idiots’ repeated in endless fonts and colours. The images of others also stuck to the screen.

    A few brave idiots in the initial panic of finding their face stuck to the screen pulled themselves off, leaving a good part of their face still stuck to the screen like a rare pork chop. Many of these people died as a result of their injuries, and some remained still half stuck to the screen, yet with mutilated mouths and bits of flesh dangling around the chin that made eating exceedingly difficult.

    “Next the phones, engage.” A voice said.

    All mobile phones around the world were now stuck to their users face and the ear in particular, plus the original phone call was interrupted with a voice repeating the word ‘yes’. Scenes of equal chaos and horror soon followed, enhanced by the images from any camera relaying live feeds, broadcasting the distressed individuals pain and anguish between the literally billions of victims.

    Some proposed the facestuck virus acted upon the carbon 60 molecule, triggered by certain vibrations quickly developing a highly dangerous and sticky surface, impossible to part from organic materials such as skin once contact is made. Grafting, which results in a permanent scar is a necessary process, but due to the Billions of victims many have spent decades with their devices stuck to their faces and ears.

    An underground black market arose in cheap surgical….
