M(A)x(I)mum Carnage by Barricage

Thanks to @thebeautifuldark for the inspiration to make this song! His song https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark/symbiosis-1 was a big thematic starting point for this track! His song sounds completely different, but that's how its supposed to be. If somebody starts making stuff that sounds like us, you better be sure we're gonna change everything!!! Anyway, the song is mainly about how the simple AI algorithms of the last decade have already impacted us that it's naive to think that the super AIs of the future are gonna cause anything less than a complete shift in how our world works. One great example of the impact so far was the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people in Myanmar. Contributed, in large part, by Facebook's algorithm (AI) that deliberately spread false information leading to the death and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. Another example, though currently not so palpably catastrophic, has been political polarization in the west. Now, whether you're right or left, we don't give a shit. We don't like politics. But know that the posts you see on social media are particularly targeted at you to turn you into an "enemy". An enemy to who? Not even the AI knows that. Right now, the "dumb" AIs of our time have imprisoned every person who uses social media inside their own tailor-made, invisible CAGES - BARRICADED away from their supposed enemies (see what I did there?). And according to the current dogma, even attempting to interact with their "enemy" is Sin. That one specific mentality has single-handedly led to the worst atrocities in human history.

The ultimate pattern I recognized Is Carnage! Elicits all reactions for which I was devised It is Carnage! Supercharged selection, the purpose of life Is Carnage! No place for mistakes in a world, optimized [Quote from Spiderman Animated Series S3E10] (Once you bond, it will reflect your hatred for humanity... Your lust for destruction!) (I'll take it!) ------ [MAN] The old me had no time to care for those below me Only wanted blood of those I coined: Enemy Now I unbind my soul from the feelings that controlled me I'll go through with it! Sweet havoc we'll wreak I got my targets picked by the only one that knows me Flesh the executioner, machine is jury The matrix of the internet, a stepping stone to grow me Well, I am the Terminator, in this singularity [SYMBIOSIS] Carnage! The only fucking pattern I'll keep alive Is Carnage! Unleash the predator society hides In Carnage! Unbound from the laws of Humankind I bring Carnage! Human IS the mistake in a world mechanized So, it's Carnage! Years ago I'd be a joke, but now I thrive In Carnage Will to Power, once reserved, now democratized I'm Carnage! Behold my own version of a Genocide This Carnage! It knows me better than myself, how can it be lies? We chose to give a school shooter A weapon greater than any nuclear bomb So, it's Carnage! ///////////APRIL-JULY 2025
