i do not want to be online. i do not want to be offline. i need some sort of third line

It’s been ten minutes since last time, you know what that means: Val is asking for money again.

I’m saving for a car.

Trying to scare people. But it won't work. No one looks scared to me anymore. And it's power in numbers. All the TV hits in the world won't change the fact that when Americans see the sheer number of people out there, absolutely no one will believe anything these guys say.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology.

It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.
