My industry has a theme song! Love song from a marketing database, just for you. #bigdata #GladOS has siblings. Lyrics at http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859468191/ I like how it's not in judgment as much as understanding; this is what this database DOES, because that is what it was designed to do. It is happy with its work, and its work is beautiful. The last line sounds incredibly plaintive.
"let our formulas find your soul. we’ll divine your artesian source (in your mind), marshal feed and force (our machines will) to design you a perfect love— or (better still) a perfect lust. o how glorious, glorious: a brand new need is born."
Pretty much glued to this album right now.
Drop what you're doing and check out this GORGEOUS song about how we are owned by robots now.
"Now we will build you an endlessly upward world."
Chills, both in the "this is musically amazing" sense, and the "this is incredibly creepy and unsettling" sense.
