I gotta keep forcing myself to remember that it’s April 1st. I’d be careful though. Not everyone can understand satire.

Why else would all the tech giants push for everyone to use AI?

Got the archive link? There’s a paywall

Brave New World, maybe? It’s tough to discuss dystopia topics without also discussing adult topics.

Only feasible if on an air-gapped network with no access to the internet

It’s just the difference between upvotes and downvotes iirc.

I would say that it’s a good idea to paint more tunnels on walls, but then I remember how dumb human drivers are too

Maybe its collateral damage from getting rid of drug-sniffing dogs that might narc on him and his friends
