I keep thinking about this tweet because it's really good and not in a usual @thinkpiecebot way

and like, i'm wondering how to make a separate bot that comes up with stuff like it that isn't totally derivative
-
i am tempted to make a ted talk bot but one of the things i learned from
@botalertnews is i get burned out on snark -
it would be kind of fun to make a horrifying warnings and/or error messages bot
-
the thing that might be able to make this work is that error messages themselves are so often surreal and/or creepy already
-
there's also this feeling of detachment that you get with them, because something you use to connect to something else is broken
-
ever since the atlatl-- "arm extender"-- most human tools act as an extension of our bodies. ones that don't are extensions of our will
-
having those break down creates an interesting psychological disconnect, something like dysphoria, I guess?
