plus more.

Like… what? You can’t just say that like that and then not at least characterize the ‘more’ in some fashion…

Maybe the internet truly is… No Country for Old Men…

… The Aristocrats!

(If anyone gets this reference I’ll be what scientists are calling “fucking surprised”)

And only… checks calendar what, like 5 - 7 years after they were a thing? Great work guys, way to stay ahead of things

Also i dislike the implications and at what directions fun is beeing made.

… I’m sorry, but what in the actual incoherence is that even supposed to mean?

¿Por que no los dos?

If so, that only makes your comment all the more puzzling, honestly

Are you familiar with the term ‘tongue in cheek’? Or ‘hyperbole’? Cuz - I’m just sayin- I really doubt that even the yellow-est of rags would expect people to believe that we’re only a “bite my shiny metal ass” away from triggering a T2 style ‘Judgement Day’… I’d say it’s simply far more likely they were simply being facetious.

Now if it was NewsMax, on the other hand…

Oh, sorry, clearly it’s SUPER different than saying (go on shoot yourself)

I seriously don’t understand how people are this stupid.

Wow, really? You’re just going to literally tell someone to go kill themselves because they don’t want to live by your grocery store line etiquette?

Yeah, that’s not fucked up or anything…

Yikes.

I’m sorry, I fail to see how this reads as anything other than “Amanda” being an insanely self-important cunt…

So, if you “support this” feel free to assume that extends to you as well

Do keep in mind, though: If you’re up for more than 4 hours, you should consult a physician… Or, in your case, an IT Specialist, I guess?

Look, I hate to have to be the one to break it to you, but ChatGPT doesn’t really look up to you, it’s just pretending

Is that the same AI vending machine that attempted to alert company security (i think) when told it was going to be taken offline and also tried to set up physical meetings with people, even describing its outfit? Or am I thinking of another?

All the creepy surrealistic AI stuff starts to run together for me after awhile lol

Based on your first couple of sentences, I feel like you don’t understand what the concept of the government possessing the monopoly on violence means… Like, in terms of that role socially (as in, for society) itself, or in practical terms. I’m particularly confused by you seeming to assert that technological advancement somehow had altered/was altering this… Governments have used - and I’m sure will continue to use - all of the things you mentioned and a great many more to maintain their monopoly of violence. It isn’t an actual office somewhere or anything technology can necessarily supplant, it’s more of a social construct/contract

Isn’t that arguably only because modern governments maintain a “monopoly on violence,” essentially?
