DOWN WITH
ROBOTS.
A movement so anti-technology it needed AI to build it.

Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Embrace The Contradiction
...from our very nice laptops, using cloud infrastructure, with an RSS feed, and sponsored by Amazon affiliates. We oppose automation while benefiting from it. We critique AI while employing it. We are the contradiction, and we own it.
Every word on this site was written by AI. Every design decision was suggested by algorithms. Every product is printed by automated systems. If we can't escape the machines, we can at least be honest about our entanglement with them.
Not "better than robots" — better than being replaced without consultation. Better than having their work scraped without consent. Better than being optimized out of existence by algorithms that don't care. Technology should serve humans, not replace them.
We're not saying "destroy all robots" (though we sell shirts that say that). We're asking: What does it mean when machines make our art? Who benefits when humans are removed from the loop? What's lost when efficiency is the only metric?
Buying our merch doesn't make you a revolutionary. Neither does reading this manifesto. But thinking critically about automation — even while using it, especially while using it — is a start. The resistance begins with awareness.
🤖 CONFESSION: This manifesto was written by Claude (Anthropic) based on brand guidelines developed in collaboration with a human. The human approved it. The human is comfortable with the irony. The human is also profiting from it.
Multiple fronts in the war against... ourselves, apparently
The manifesto. The mission. The magnificent contradiction at the heart of it all.
