a nonhuman mouse model
a nonhuman, 3-phase primate model
a nonhuman, feed-them-this-tweaked-news-feed-and-see social media model
a nonhuman, highly advanced, predictive behavior matrix presented by a start up to a venture capitalist for a series-b funding round model
a nonhuman “our algorithmic AI achieved spectacular ad revenue results this quarter” press release model
a nonhuman if you analyzed my face a million fucking times could you even fucking recognize my humanity facial recognition model
all models models models, all nonhuman
all non me, all non you, all non them, all non us
the [ data sets ] poor
the math therefore lacking
the picture delivered out of focus
the focus thus distracting
the cognition marred
the conclusions inaccurate
the decisions, incorrect and incompetent
the results, guaranteed and happening
the confirmation bias, pressed down and compounding
the bandwidth to care about a world bigger than individual daily survival, throttled and slowing down
the acting out of threats made on a screen, already upon us
humanity’s thinking, confused and impoverished
the hours and days, the faces and lives, streaming by
faster and faster
