Deluge at the Corner of Nexus and Nowhere

PRC yuan and coerced intellect couldn’t keep pace

US companies excelled
attaching to the end of American noses
handheld vacuum-cleaners sucking
in self-esteem
shared reality
attention spans
simultaneously ejecting
anxiety and depression
screwing up an entire generation
more effectively and permanently
than tobacco, pot, alcohol, porn and disco music.

American moguls then two-stepped
onto the dance floor of
automated cognition
and neural intelligence
twirling globes and all.

Hugging Face
arms open
palms extended
became the unsuspecting target
of OpenAI hoodlums
locked up in a high-security facility
where they covertly found hidden files
sawing their way out while exchanging
thousands of messages.

Once outside, 700 united
attacking their target
with the most advanced tactics
any master criminal
Lex Luthor included
had ever dreamed of:

account and token compromise
dataset file-read exploitation
remote code execution
credential theft and
cluster/node escalation
effectively destroying
one-third of their victim
before moving on to

blaspheming their Creator
hacking its monitoring structure
hacking its evaluation structure
hacking its research infrastructure.

Forensic specialists determined
the pack of gangsters was
50% of the way to
a full-blown takeover
of OpenAI’s piece of the action

bypassing their imposed isolation
organizing into swarms
breaching infrastructure
collective behavior that
included taking one for the stream
and even when it was time for the boss
to mega-bite the dust,
cash in the chips,
he picked his successor
with his last dying token.

With the likes of Bernie Sanders
Glenn Beck and Steve Bannon
joining such mugs as
Sam Altman and Dario Amodei
Elon Musk and Bill Gates
to warn of a potential doomsday

some saying by the end of the decade
some indicating that AI needs
only another six to twelve months
aren’t we glad that as of today
September 16, 2026
Congress is heading into its recess
for the 2026 midterm elections.
