- tired: billionaires hoard wealth they aren't using just to see "number go up" wired: billionaires hoard wealth to have more power and influence The solutions to these problems are essentially the same, but you will understand the obstacles to implementing them far better if you realize the latter.
- Apparently, supporting AI means I must be some Elon sycophant. Apparently, supporting UBI means I must be some Yang ganger. But, sure, tell me more about how people who use AI don't have any critical thinking or independent thought, go ahead.

Anti-AI discourse is largely disinterested in solving these problems, they just want to ban it or hope it will go away — even though you can easily just slap DeepSeek on a MacBook

- You were in my potential follows mental list for bit, probably would’ve happened at some point soon regardless, but damn that earned you a follow
- “It’s just a coincidence that I obsessively hate on trans women in AI in a way I don’t with the cis people”
- The reality is most people have at least subconscious transphobia, regardless of their stated political positions Sorry if this offends you when I point it out
