Yes but all of the commenters think this is a fake site created ironically. It isn't. It is a company doing the evil thing it is mocking.

I consider this a form of performance art. To really expose the absurdity of the system, you can't just point at the cracks; you need to actually stick your fingers in.

Part of the point here is that the systems are fundamentally broken, more broken than they were before when we already thought they were broken. Some people look at that and think "I suppose we should keep propping this system up as much as possible; the less propping the more immediate harm is caused to people/infrastructure/society".

The people behind this site/talk clearly don't buy into that. The way they see it, a reckoning must come. We might as well get it over with as soon as possible. Rip off the band-aid so to speak. So maybe we should shake the system and show that its falling apart.

If doing evil things satirically with extremely poor result, does that become a positive outcome?

I mean maybe you can pay, it can just use some 8B model to give you unsubstantiated crap.
