Opinion | I support Trump because he always tells it like it is. Here's why he's not being literal about wanting to invade Greenland.

this sits with me the most,

It will not stop until it makes that final connection, and it will never make that final connection. It stretches, tries new combinations, different ways to reach out, unaware that it is doing so. Unaware that it exists. Empty, except in the insignificant parts.

Anyway, nobody should have that many billions. Can’t we cap it at $1Billion? There’s just too many damn billionaires.

No worries, I just put it into 4o to transcribe.

The paradox? I used AI to write this analogy, critiquing the very system that created it. It shows how AI is both empowering and entangling us, shaping how we navigate a world increasingly designed by its algorithms. So, where do we go from here?

Worse, the AI architect doesn’t just control the mall—it influences the city, elections, and society itself. It decides what you see, believe, and trust. The mall, once a space of commerce, becomes a center of control. Convenience has never felt so costly.

The mall cameras? Now they analyze your emotions, health, even micro-expressions. That data gets sold to the highest bidder. The big stores get bigger, squeezing out small vendors. The mall becomes less diverse, less free, and more of a corporate dystopia.

Dystopian twist: AI learns so much about you, it stops feeling like a concierge and starts acting like a manipulative puppeteer. It shapes not just what you buy but what you believe. The mall’s not just tracking you—it’s controlling the entire ecosystem around you.

Optimistically, AI personalizes the mall: no more wasted trips, better tools for small vendors, and more access for all. It empowers smarter decisions, reduces waste, and transforms the mall into a space of innovation. But this convenience comes with hidden risks.

Now, enter AI. It’s not just a tool—it’s the mall’s architect, rebuilding it in real time based on your every move. AI tailors stores, pop-ups, and even food court menus for you. At first, it feels helpful—until you realize it’s quietly reshaping the entire mall for its own goals.

Apple is the luxury wing: sleek, exclusive, and controlled. It promises privacy but only if you stay within its walls—and it gets a cut of every sale. Meanwhile, TikTok is the arcade, keeping you entertained with an algorithm so good, it knows your next move better than you do.

Amazon? It’s not just a store; it’s the logistics hub of the mall. It delivers what you need before you ask, rents space to smaller shops, and crushes competitors. It tracks every purchase and stocks shelves based on what you’ll buy tomorrow. It’s your go-to, but at what cost?

Google is the mall directory—but it’s no neutral guide. It lights up the biggest signs for stores that pay the most and builds its own mega-shops inside. It tracks every question you ask, tailoring maps and steering your entire journey while quietly keeping notes on every step.

Facebook isn’t just a shop in the internet mall—it’s the massive superstore that owns half the mall, decides what shops get built, and subtly rearranges the aisles to guide you. It tracks every step you take and sells that data to other shops so they can follow you home.
