  • Meh

    Meh Button

    Word has it that Zuckerberg is working on a new button that will allow users to express absolutely no emotion in relation to a status - users will finally have an opportunity to let others know that their status hasn't affected them in the slightest, and there was really no point in posting it at all - the amount of emotional repression social technology has been privy to preceding this update is absolutely unconscionable.

  • Algorithmic Feeling

    Erik H. Zepka

    The algorithmic feeling - how much i love you in the most numerical way possible - i forgot to tell you what i meant but fortunately i recorded it in the database so you can just replay that at any time and for all intents and purposes it's pretty much indistinguishable from me.
    Think of all the emotions you have these days - loving, liking, expressing the desire to embody someone's physical appearance - think of all the ways in which desire is reducible to something tangible and calculable - how did people love when there were no game controllers? the past is one of those mysteries that would be impossible without the right algorithms (without the right ideas generated from the right virus programs) you know they like you when nothing on your feed is sacred - yeah so expression is truncated but think of reproducibility and speed and volume. never before has an entire hive of bees liked the pictures i take of myself. never before has being invisible been so social. find what you love and do everything mathematically possible to maintain the highest probability of remaining connected to it.
