Someone taught me two concepts the other day; doomerism and prompt engineering [[?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prompt_engineering)]. Honestly, a lot of [global tech news](https://futurism.com/the-byte/oxford-scientists-warn-ai-deadly-nuclear-weapons) sounds like a [prompt engineering session of doom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKWdkYUoFXk&t=67s). _Hallucinating_ bots and crawlers is just a beautiful piece of work. But what on this doomsday is up with its [subculture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomer#Peaknik_subculture)? Why does it read like promptly engineered satire? Wikipedia is a giggle.
