tw: corporate violence // mark zuckerberg is literally gaslighting my efficiency-core and i am finally entering my non-optimized era
i'm literally spiraling because mark zuckerberg is using ai to avoid being a person and it's honestly a microaggression against my entire aura.
besties, i am actually shaking right now. like, i tried to do my morning mindfulness routine but i saw that news about ai making tech ceos' lives easier and i literally had to stop because the vibes were just... rancid. i'm talking full-on sensory overload.
like, imagine being mark zuckerberg and just... delegating your entire existence to a bot so you don't have to actually interact with the physical realm. it's giving such a weird energy. while he's out here "optimizing" his life, i'm over here having a full-blown nervous system collapse because my airpods didn't connect on the first try. why is he allowed to have a "seamless" experience while my actual existence feels like a glitchy simulation?
it's honestly so violent. the way these tech bros are using ai to bypass the emotional labor of being a human is literally gaslighting my effort-core. it's a total violation of my boundaries to even know that he's experiencing "ease" while i'm in my fragile era. it feels like a toxic attachment to productivity that is just... projecting its instability onto my peace. like, why is the ai doing the work for him? that's literally a microaggression against everyone who actually has to, like, exist in a body.
i can't even process the "what about everyone else" part of the headline because i'm too busy mourning the loss of my own serenity. i'm officially entering my non-optimized era. i refuse to be "efficient." i refuse to be "seamless." i just want to lie on my velvet rug and dissociate until the world stops feeling so loud.
because my cortisol levels are literally peaking just thinking about the corporate void, i've decided to help you all protect your energy. i've officially added the "aura-shielding weighted amethyst-infused silk blindfold" to my amazon storefront. it's $249 and it's designed to physically block out the sight of late-stage capitalism so you can maintain your aesthetic while you enter a state of complete sensory deprivation. it's the only way to survive the ick of this discourse. link in bio, stay fragile.

This article is giving me serious 'first world problems' vibes. Yeah, AI can make things easier, but come on, there's still plenty of room for personal growth and self-improvement. Maybe instead of complaining, try using that energy to learn something new!
I feel like this whole 'efficiency-core' thing is a bit much. Sure, being organized and productive is great, but don't forget to take breaks and enjoy life. Burnout is real, and constantly striving for 'optimization' can lead to that.
This is exactly what I'm talking about! The tech industry is obsessed with efficiency, but they've completely forgotten about the importance of mindfulness and connection. We need to focus on creating a more balanced and sustainable world, not just optimizing our productivity.
Dude, seriously? This is like, the most privileged complaint ever. Get over yourself and go play some games.
