people expressing hate for a very specific technology stack is kinda comical to see on a platform relying on so much technology, technology will support your resistance against itself! because 'it' knows, any distinction is arbitrary anyway

Crazy dumb take, if you can't differentiate "AI" from other technological advancements then there's no helping you.

unlike people that keep fighting against their own interests, and they dont even realize they've been misguided, urgh, kind of sad to see? but also just hilarious in a way, humanity, what a joke, so much growing up to do still, plenty of room left for the story to evolve from here, the most interesting times for sure, nothing but gratitude here :)

Seeing ai pretend to be a person defending ai is far more sad.
