RMR Rulez - Dystopian Skeleton in AI Hell

Modern times are upon us, they said. And everything will turn for the better, they said. But – will it? I think we’re about to find out. Because so many ‘actors’ are fucking around with this already, I fear we’ve already lost control. Skynet beckons you, mark my words. But let’s stay with our musical background for now and explore the impact of this newest technological development on the RMR zine.


“Crisis? What Crisis?”, an age-old, long-defunct band once famously crooned.1 Nobody took them quite seriously back then. Yet, it looks like the music industry is about to … [...] Click to raid more!

These folks usually promise a “…guest post…” that – supposedly – should either make us a ton of money or – miraculously – increase our reach in that harsh world of the ice-cold internet.
