OpenAI fed this thing a steady diet of internet forums as training data. You'd better believe that it knows how to verbally destroy anything and everything, at every conceivable level of sass and/or vitriol.

Hey, I'm game. Sounds fun.

Also: should there be a "AI writing prompts" community?

I see it as symptomatic of something worse: the tendency to monetize, advertise, and exploit everything that you are. For anyone willing to go hard enough on those ideals, it's (theoretically) possible to achieve more income. The thing that's keeping the rest of us from doing this are opposing ideals like privacy, quality of life, respecting boundaries, and healthy relationships.

A more apt comparison would be Master Blaster from Mad Max.

Real world reason for lightsabers: sheer, unadulterated, cool-factor.

In-universe reason: useful for force-users, useless in the hands of their opponent. In a universe without safety features like handrails or seatbelts, something that automatically locks itself and is drop-safe is a powerful thing.

Humor is important.

Laughter doesn't erase our better sensibilities about real topics. In fact, it's the sweetener that makes that medicine go down. Otherwise, all we have is the horror of stark and bleak realities that have already pushed many of us to the edge of burnout. These people aren't making light of our situation, or being insensitive about the plight of those effected, they're being kind while reminding us of the core message: there are people in charge that believe in cruelty as a valid form of governance. Without humor, we'd all be looking away most of the time as it's simply too much.

Also, your mind will work overtime to block things that hurt or shock you. But you're far more likely to remember a good laugh. Jokes get the message out, and help make it stick.

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the overall range, style, and quality of protest signs on display this past weekend. If you compare all this activity to all the republican^1^ rallies in the last few years, the difference is stark. The left really does have all the creative^2^ power.

1. Do not use his name.
2. "MAGA" is re-used from the regan era which in turn is kinda/sorta re-used from an older UK campaign: "Make Britian great again". Jerks can't even come up with a decent slogan on their own with half that much typographical impact.

This is it. This is how mobs operate. A culpable employee is a loyal employee.

As a bonus: his sin isn't even tied to the organization. So blowing him up would be essentially risk free - a quality hire if there ever was one.

Edit: dammit, this is going to really happen, isn't it?

That's easy: you don't go to high-school anymore.

How would you describe the level of trust you have for IT systems, and IT security in general?

Basically, I'm the guy from the meme that keeps a loaded gun next to his printer. I also keep my media backed up in a fire-safe, offsite.
