Agreed.
I mean, I think we've got multiple problems present lol
OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman reminding everyone that the damage AI use does to your brain is a feature, not a bug: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter".
Same! Been finding some fun ones, too.
Yep, (which the Ugly Laws also had, forced labor in "poor houses" and farms)
But they do get to pay for it with the money they make insider trading on war crimes ๐
Me: I think I'm supposed to make a Mother Tongue unboxing video?
My partner, a TV producer, without pause: OK, we'll dress you up as a tradwife, but with KISS makeup!

Ugly Laws on steroids.

(Also, I'm disabled and write my own books with my own brain fuck you very much. In fact, the plagiarism bot ate at least two of my books to spew out what it does today, so please tell me how much I need it to function in society ๐ ๐คข )
