It’s in bad taste to speak ill of the dead
You cannot die, that would be amoral and unethical.
Instead you must live on with mountains of medical debt, sickly and defeated
In a city like the one in the picture, anything remotely usable you put out will be gone by the end of the day.
An AI that could reliably take out the trash right now would be far more disastrous in terms of job safety than an AI that can write or create art
I’m not giving them any more spotlight or attention
Unless it’s a fight to the death, I’d probably tune in

But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it
