I think my favorite bit here is the Quantum Metal Corporate University video. Presumably it came from somebody giving a prompt to a video-creating AI along the lines of: "Create the most implausible possible 3-minute promotional movie for a nonexistent university containing no facts whatsoever." ... But the real question is, is anybody making money here, and if so how and off whom?

That is an incredibly detailed report! I had never heard of blue shame either. Above sentence: "I think I’ll save those rabbit holes for another day, if you don’t mind." I have holes like that all over my backyard, probably mole-holes, and I have the feeling that, down there in the dirt, they are all connected! And sure, all dirt contains a tiny percentage of gold.
