Fuck Discord is the common message now, but how about we amplify good alternatives? It’ll be easier to tell Discord to fuck off if we’re already set to move elsewhere.

Did you miss the part where the change is global? It also applies where the government hasn’t required it.

I’m sure that’s a distinction the magastapo will appreciate as they beat you to death.

Yeah just like we all say, “Don’t bother releasing the Epstein Files, it’s not new.”

I bet when he retires he’s gonna take off that uniform. Now that I can’t abide.

Somewhere inside that senile sack of shit there’s a blood clot that yearns to break free. Let’s all clap our hands and believe extra hard in that brave little clot.

Yeah but state charges can’t be pardoned by the president, so there’s still a chance.

With all the modern horrors in the news, we deserve some good news from time to time.

You can “No True Scotsman” as hard as you want but they’re nailing this shit to your church door like that was the only part they learned.

No it’s pretty obvious that he wasn’t targeting the girl, we’re not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just “a prank for the athletes” can fuck all the way off.

Looks like those topics are incredibly popular! Replace the missing volumes and expand the section!

Yeah they can’t say because who fucking knows what tariffs will or won’t be in place next week, much less when the thing launches.

In what reality would that be a healthy thing to do?

No. I know it hurts, but you need to let go.

Okay but are any AI chatbots really open source? Isn’t half the headache with LLMs the fact that there comes a point where it’s basically impossible for even the authors to decode the tangled madness of their machine learning?

Well that’s certainly optimistic.

Well signatures and phone calls only go so far. When it comes to big, serious, literal life or death issues, petitions just aren’t going to get the job done and it becomes pretty pointless to waste your energy on that particular course of action.

Similarly, it’s pretty shitty to act like action on smaller issues means we’re just ignoring bigger issues. Your concern for Idaho’s treatment of disabled kids isn’t instead of wanting Israel’s genocide to stop or the Ukraine war to end.

You’re going to need more context, like what are you trying to save and how. Nobody’s going to dig through your logs just to try to figure out what you’re talking about.

So peaceful words aren’t working? Well alright, sounds like it’s time for plan B.

You seem to have missed the point. Whether or not you think that would be an easy job, the whole reason you’d be there is to be the one that takes all the blame when the autopilot kills someone. It will be your name, your face, every single record of your past mistakes getting blasted on the news and in court because Elon’s shitty vanity project finally killed a real child instead of a test dummy. You’ll be the one having to explain to a grieving family just how hard it is to actually pay complete attention every moment of every day, when all you’ve had to do before is just sit there.

This technology purely exists to make human drivers redundant and put the money in the hands of big tech and eventually the ruling class composed off of politicians risk averse capitalists and beurocracy. There is no other explanation for robo taxis to exist.

There is another reason, though, and it’s much simpler. Basic greed.

There are people who see the opportunity to make more money for themselves, so they’ll do it. When it comes to robo taxis, they’re not interested in class struggles, it’s not about politics, their interest in making human drivers redundant extends only so far as increasing their customer base. These aren’t Machiavellian schemers rubbing their hands together and cackling at their dark designs coming to fruition, it’s just assholes in suits who’s one and only concern is “number go up.”

Even when it comes to their politics and to the class dynamics, their end goal is always the same. Number go up. They don’t care about what harm it could do. They’re not intent on deliberately doing more harm, they give no thought to doing less harm, they do not care. All that drives them, ever, is Number Go Up.
