he's not special though, our prison industrial complex is absolutely awful, that he's getting no special treatment (besides the ability to tweet for some reason) is nice to hear.

If it makes some chud give even a little shit about how terrible our prisons are and use their oversized cultural influence to try to change it that would probably be the only positive thing this fungus of a person does for the world... i have no illusions though, if anything they'll just make noise until he gets pampered...

    Robots have no place in the workforce until all of humanity is reasonably taken care of and don’t need to work. Until then all they’re doing is taking livelihoods away from people.

    this is the only thing I agree with you on.

    However this is just like being mad at service workers, sure current llms aren't sentient, maybe language models can't be idk i'm not a philosopher or psychologist, but the robot didn't steal your job, they didn't even ask for it, they were built and given it, maybe direct the anger to the person who actually did you wrong instead...

    The whole story only makes sense through the propaganda lens, brave freedom fighters against an oppressive government taxing them for no reason.

    Then you read the actual context and it's a bunch of new aristocracy high on slave money mad that the empire refuses to let them expand past the boarders established in a war that benefited them and they are now having to pay taxes for.
