Why yes, there is a vast world devouring monster with its tendrils encircling all of us, and it's plainly visible once you notice it, and it's everywhere. But you come off as insane when you try to tell other people about it.

Is SCP-3125 an allegory for capitalism? Shit.

Silicon valley types worry about evil AI destroying the planet. There are a few cults around it even. MIRI is the most well known around here.

That is specifically a system created by people that is two large for any one to control that has goal antithetical to human life and the ability to manipulate people to support it.

What they fail to realize is that they are projecting their alienation under capitlaism unto the specific tools by which capitalism alienates them. It is wild.

Capitalism is an artificial intelligence, or at least a god, in the sense that a will is enacted on its behalf that does not rely on any individual person making contingent choices. And it has destroyed the earth.
