AI is a new regime of truth, scientific proof, social normativity and rationality, which often does take the shape of a statistical hallucination.

Given the degree of myth-making and social bias around its mathematical constructs, AI has indeed inaugurated the age of statistical science fiction. Nooscope is the projector of this large statistical cinema.

This is how a country can "close down" because of a mere 180 "cases" of "a something" known to supposedly cause death in only 1:380 cases, and because it's "asymptomatic", has to be "tested for" to be perceived.

Not just clown. Insanity world.

My question is:

Is this a malicious conspiracy by those who should "know" better?

Or is it a stupid delusion caused by idiots?
