How exactly are they poisoning a pool of toxic waste?

Pissing into an ocean of piss.

Now it's not only toxic, it's also acidic and instead of killing you, it'll also melt you.

Well that's certainly one way for your brand to lose a lot of respect once it becomes apparent. Much like I when want to lose respect for myself, I use Chum brand dog food. Chum, it's still food, alright?

I still haven’t seen a use of AI that doesn’t serve state or corporate interests first, before the general public. AI medical diagnostics comes the closest, but that’s being leveraged to justify further staffing reductions, not an additional check.

The AI-captcha wars are on, and no matter who wins we lose.

Yeah this isn't new.

Ever wonder why you are such a fan of shitty played out franchises?

I appreciate the mostly benign neglect we had for awhile. Now that they're paying attention it's just all bad. Or would be, if I was there. HA.
