@ai6yr

It's crazy how people can't see AI is part of the same evil fascist agenda as this US regime.

@monkeyben @ai6yr Yes but not just AI. The whole culture of techbro "disrupters" with their brutal treatment of workers (and customers and the planet) and flagrant disregard for laws and morals has always been the epitome of evil. Too bad so many consumers found "an app for everything" regardless of the externalities irresistibly convenient.
