        Especially the irony that they’re ruining the environment in an attempt to replace human jobs with AI.

        It’s a double “fuck you” to the working/middle class.

            Maybe, but then it also makes it hypocritical as fuck.

                I’d rather do something with impact anytime than find a convenient scapegoat now. If you disagree, your morals are beyond fucked up.

                    Ah, the classic ad hominem to strengthen your argument. Truly brilliant! I have no choice but to concede to such a refined debate strategy! 🤌
