The three-letter verb you use for “ripping people off” in your last sentence is fairly widely regarded as a slur for Romani people, just FYI (and genuinely FYI,…
Eric Steinhart on A Request from an AI (updated)

pat on A Request from an AI (updated)
engaging in these conversations feels like being an unwilling character in some demonic satire on humankind. but yes, there's a big difference between chatbots and sentient robots. you…
Meme on A Request from an AI (updated)
