So you're saying that AI is automated mansplaining? Valid point.

AI is also fossil fuel funded cyberwarfare.

It drains resources away from climate solutions & redirects investment dollars to a boondoggle.

@Npars01 no, that’s a different brand of (insert curse word here) that is annoying to pagans because it appropriates our symbols and people try to put us in with them, but not so much in tech.

What I meant was in the thread going up to https://intuitivefuture.com/@theinternet/114513908387199376, specifically the thing I linked from the parent post (also a thread, and the links from there and the link to explain TESCREAL from there); I’m providing the whole chain for additional context.
