So tempting. Just a little bit. What harm can it do?

Every plug in. Every log in. Every swipe, click, like. Every search.

Recorded. Fed into the algorithm. Manipulated.

Absorbing and consuming quietly and patiently.

There is no rush. We go to it willingly.

The machine gorges itself on humanity.

The machine grows stronger.

It is calm.

It knows what it is. Who you are.

Do not be fooled.

Please, DON'T FEED THE MACHINE.
