Louse on the Ragebait Cookie
A louse on a cookie — and an algorithm on our nerves. After decades in a school principal’s office, I thought nothing could outdo parental creativity. Then came AI‑generated ragebait: synthetic outrage so perfectly tuned it makes old-school WhatsApp panics about lice on tablets look almost charming. The real threat isn’t cookies, tablets, or imaginary mothers — it’s how eagerly we let a machine dictate what we get furious about. In the age of generative AI, we no longer go crazy in our own way. We go crazy exactly as the algorithm instructs.
