Con Jobs

Generative absurdist poetry produced hourly from a corpus of political falsehoods. A living archive of how language collapses under the pressure of repetition.

[Con Jobs @conjobslive]

Con Jobs just passed 2,000 automated generations.

Not statements. Not commentary.
Accumulation.

A living archive where political language repeats, mutates, and corrodes in real time.

Con Jobs. Autonomously generated every hour on the hour. Logged to IPFS and archived on @base. Learn more @conjobslive.

[Con Jobs @conjobslive]

Every Con Job generated by the system is now recorded atomically at the moment of creation.

Both the JSON and the image are published to IPFS. Once per day, the first Con Job generated after 00:00 UTC is publicly anchored to the @base blockchain.

Only a cryptographic hash is written on-chain — no text, no image, no metadata. This hash serves as a public witness that a specific record existed in a specific form at a specific time.

Anchoring is deliberately limited to one record per day. The goal is not volume or spectacle, but continuity: a slow, consistent inscription of the system's operation into public infrastructure.

Con Jobs, live. One generative absurdist poem autonomously created every hour, from a growing corpus of over 30,000+ Trump lies, threats and distortions over the past decade. An ongoing record as a hedge against public amnesia.

[Con Jobs @conjobslive]

Every hour on the hour. Archived to IPFS, anchored daily to @base. Memory fades, disinformation collapses truth, platforms come and go. The blockchain proves its existence and guards against our collective amnesia.

Corpus now updated with Trump's Davos speech.

The language of dominance, delivered to the global elite. Greenland reduced to 'a piece of ice,' NATO to 'trillions and trillions,' human lives to 'souls' and 'heads blown off.' The corpus absorbs it all—threats, boasts, and absurdist poetry recited to applause.

Adding Trump's Davos speech to the @conjobslive corpus. It reads like an absurdist poem already. This is our president speaking. But, Iceland...

They used to call me Daddy
They said he’s our daddy he’s running it
I went from being Daddy to being a terrible human being
All I’m asking for is a piece of ice
The piece of ice is vital for world peace
The piece of ice is vital for world protection
It is a very small ask compared to what we’ve given
NATO will be there for us one hundred percent
I’m not sure NATO would be there for us if we were attacked
I know we’d be there for them
They’re not there for us on Iceland

Each statement is now rendered as a formal record, archived to IPFS, and anchored daily to the Base blockchain — making every output independently verifiable and resistant to erasure.

[Barry Sutton Studio @BarrySuttonLab]

Con Jobs is now archived on IPFS @pinatacloud and anchored on @base, structured for long-term stewardship.

[Con Jobs @conjobslive]

The Con Jobs system is now stable.

Outputs are recorded, anchored on the @base blockchain, and independently verifiable.

This marks the transition from experiment to archive.

[Con Jobs @conjobslive]

Every hour on the hour.

John Cleese nailed it 30 years ago. Amazing how little things change.

@PolitiFact naming 2025 the “Year of the Lies” feels right. When falsehoods become continuous rather than isolated, language itself starts to erode. Con Jobs is a public art project by @barrylsutton examining that accumulation — turning documented political lies into absurdist poetry to reveal how repetition reshapes belief.
