Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job?

Nuremberg Trials: "I was just following orders is not a valid defense to criminal behavior.'
Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute every illegal action by this regime.
Anything less is unacceptable.
