"social media rep" is different from "warp intern." MDG is a close and trusted friend, not some college student with no connection to the band just posting meaningless stuff for engagement bait.
and the idea that their social media accounts are run by AI should be self-evidently ridiculous

Oh, who am I kidding? Even Stargate probably forgot that their own zine existed by now

Feel free to give us your theory on the weird YouTube strangeness, Do you think it's Mike or Marcus linking us to Justin Bieber videos?
I take what MDG says as truth.. That the bros don't use social media or bother with the Internet in general..
So whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
If its not engagement bait then what is it? Have you cracked the code? Please enlighten us

-MDG never said they don't use social media. He said that he as well as several others have access to their social media accounts
-the Marcus Eoin Twitter account has been connected via metadata to the YouTube & FB Hell Interface accounts, which are known to be legitimate. The Marcus Eoin Twitter was following a number of accounts that are directly connected w/ BOC's personal interests and music tastes such as survivalism, conspiracies, Weyes Blood, Drab Majesty, etc
Way too personally relevant for an AI (??) or even an intern to be following.
-Not sure what you're talking about with Justin Bieber videos but yes, I believe they're posting weird stuff on their social media accounts to troll people. 10+ years ago the official BOC account posted "Diet Coke Green Screen Failure" in response to the Chameleon fake, do you think they had an AI running their social media pages in 2009?
-Do you think the "Uuh" video was made by an AI?

Regardless, if you're not pushing the idea that BOC social media accounts are run by some AI then what I'm saying isn't aimed at you. I think it's pretty clear they have direct involvement in what goes on their social media accounts (an intern didn't make the Uuh video or upload the soundboard Julie and Candy under AtalantaFugiens), but the idea that they have other ppl helping run their accounts is actually somewhelat reasonable. Thinking that a band that has expressed distaste for modern technology and the lack of connections between ppl is having an artificial intelligence run their fan interactions is just silly

I honestly can't imagine they didn't post this themselves. I like to think they're heartfelt enough to not delegate a friend or a "warp intern" to send such a compassionate statement.

Warp's contacts state that their artists can't release under different aliases on different labels unless it's discussed before hand. For example, Autechre can release under Gescom on Skam as an exception to their contact.
There MIGHT be something in BoC's contact that states they can release under Hell Interface on Skam or something, this is all pie in the sky speculation, but it's none the less entirely in the realm is possibility still.
