hi all,
i wanted to share a zine idea i had. the idea is to propose an alternative acronym to talk about so-called “artificial intelligence”.
the acronym is S.L.L.R.P. (also “sllrp”, pronounced “slurp”), short for “surviellance and laundering of labor and relationships for profit”. it can be a verb, noun or adjective in english:
