SYDNEY – Another day, another tech fail. This time, it's Vivid Sydney, the land down under's attempt at Burning Man with less desert dust and more harbour water. Their big draw? A drone show, because apparently light projections on the Opera House just aren't 'futuristic' enough for the elites. But guess what? The future literally crashed and burned – or rather, crashed and splashed – into Darling Harbour.

Eighty-nine drones, give or take a few soggy circuits, decided to take an unscheduled dive. Skymagic, the UK company behind this airborne armada, blamed it on a “change in radio frequency.” Translation: something went wrong, and now their expensive toys are fish food. Apparently, the 'failsafe landing procedures' involved becoming submarines.

Let's be real: How many times have we heard about 'unforeseen technical difficulties'? It's the go-to excuse for every Silicon Valley screw-up, from self-driving cars mowing down pedestrians to social media platforms censoring dissent. At least this time, the only victims were a few startled seagulls and the fragile egos of the tech bros who thought they could control the skies.

And the best part? This isn't even the first time Vivid Sydney has had drone drama. Last year, they nixed the drone show because of overcrowding. So, they knew there were potential risks, but decided to YOLO it anyway. Classic.

Robert, a Darling Harbour worker, described the sound of the drones smashing onto the cement marina. Imagine the carbon footprint of all those shattered plastic bits polluting the ocean! But hey, as long as we get pretty lights and virtue signal about being 'innovative,' who cares about the environment, right? This is what happens when you let the elites play with toys they don't understand.

What's next? Are they gonna blame climate change? Maybe those drones were just trying to escape the woke agenda and find some real freedom in the deep blue sea. Whatever the reason, it’s a good reminder that technology is not a god, and sometimes, the best solution is the simplest one: turn off the screens and go outside.

So, next time you're tempted to marvel at the latest technological marvel, remember the Sydney drone apocalypse. Remember the sound of those expensive toys hitting the water. And remember that sometimes, the most spectacular failures are the ones that remind us of our own hubris.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go find a nice, analog sunset. No drones required. It's free, it's beautiful, and it won't end up as marine debris.

Bonus points if the cleanup crew has to use those robot dogs from Boston Dynamics to retrieve the drowned drones. THAT would be a show worth watching.
