Ridiculously Profitable/Greedy Music App: “I see that you have added a cover of Ginette Garcin’s ‘Cresoxipropanédiol en Capsule’ (1966) to your blockbuster year-end mixtape which we all are very excited about yes. Can I interest you in, do you know of perhaps, premiere USA recording artist ‘Paul Simon’? How about influential USA recording artist ‘The Talking Heads’? These are just suggestions created by a large advanced COBOL program to best gauge your interests and tastes, taste your intestines, back up a bit there, sorry. The ‘The Clash’?”

MSCHF work exhibition No More Tears, I’m Lovin’ It (2022). Numerous works/photo gallery. Among the exhibits:
In 2021, MSCHF launched a project entitled Spot’s Rampage, in which members of the public were able to remotely control a Boston Dynamics Spot® robot that had been outfitted with a paintball gun and placed within an art gallery. Via livestream, viewers could pilot the robot and fire the gun, gradually destroying the space and the robot.
After first trying to bribe the collective to remove the paintball gun with the offer of two free robot dogs, Boston Dynamics publicly condemned the project for using its robot “in any way that promotes violence, harm, or intimidation.” The day after Spot’s Rampage debuted, Boston Dynamics rolled out a partnership with the NYPD.
Boston Dynamics remotely disabled MSCHF’s legally-purchased Spot® robot via an undisclosed backdoor. Subsequently, MSCHF memorialized this robotic corpse with as many guns as it could possibly fit – a portent of robots to come.
