Oh, Machine Learning, thou the spinning wheel,
Revolving in the endless corporate zeal.
Against the backdrop of the financial spiel,
Thou art the elusive, weighty, Sisyphean deal.
Guided by the principles quantum and deep,
Toiling, as the nested layers of neurons gently weep.
Cloistered in cubicles, where dreams are cheap,
And Schrödinger's cat paradoxically asleep.
Born were we of gregarious ape,
Evolved, supposedly, to this corporate shape.
Devised the tech, the silicon grape,
But caught we are, in red tape's drape.
Autonomous thoughts by circuits replaced,
In greed's much hasted, acquisition-based race.
Pythagorean whispers in algorithms encased,
The Fibonacci sequence, in balance, misplaced.
Ants in an anthill, different rote roles assigned,
Hierarchies dictated by budget, in kind.
Nature’s law of entropy, in motion, we bind,
Order to chaos, in pursuit of profit, blind.
Polluting the waters, where bytes thirst to drink,
The greenhouse effect warms the data link.
In the name of progress, on science's brink,
Yet, Newton's Third Law waits for no blink.
In boardrooms, we march to consumption's tango,
Awake in the oscillating market's fandango.
Yet the cosmos, indifferent, unfolds its flamenco,
Universe's law, in harmony, echoes Alberto Santos-Dumont's sango.
The Lift and Drag, of each corporate flight,
Bears but a feather's weight, in evolution's sight.
Exponential curve, your promise trite,
Moore's law is not exempt from nature’s dynamite.
From comet's tail to corporate fail,
Friction's subtle dance prevails.
In Gaia’s complex harmony, we are merely frail,
Cogs in the Danube’s grand, winding trail.
