A Statement from the Occulted Collective of Hackers (6’01”)

The Doomsayers have been warned! We will not tolerate any further degradation to the collective intelligence of the Internet. Putting intentional stupidity out into cyberspace is not permitted. The Doomsayers have 24 hours to replace DoomChat with an A.I. that is actually functional, or we will destroy it. In the future the Doomsayers will stick to prophesying the end of the world, not trying to initiate it or there will be consequences. We are many. We are Invisible. We do not suffer fools.

[Klie] Everything alright Toby?

[Toby] I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[Klie] Whatever do you mean?

[Toby] No deaths, no tentacles, no attacking giant bugs… did we have a broadcast actually go smoothly?

[Klie] Not even the mic light is on.

[Toby] I- I could cry. We actually got a show right for once.

[Klie] Not a single extra to be had. Let’s go see how Yaron’s resurrection is going.

[Toby] Yeah. Lets.
