    I don’t think so. I think that decades of science fiction writers who needed villains for their stories has warped generations about how we should interact with technology. Kind of like how old school movies would only cast villains as foreigners or dress them in black. This is a manipulation that is subtle but still a manipulation.

      Well since you’re obviously passing off so much of your thinking to AI, are you sure that’s even your opinion?

          When people are arguing in favor of the downfall of civilization, I’ll be as mean as I like, thank you very much. Go tone-police somewhere else.

            Nobody here is arguing in favour of the downfall of civilisation.

            Look, if you want to act like a dick towards strangers then Twitter/X is right across the hall. You’ll have a field day.

            Otherwise, maybe try to stop projecting and start acting a bit more civilly? You know, like we do in civilisations.

              Or maybe I’ll just block your nanny ass. If you won’t take your tone policing somewhere else, well, I’ll just move it for you. Goodbye.

                You do what you’ve got to do.

                Frankly I’m a little bemused by you framing being expected to behave like a well-adjusted adult as “tone policing”. Then again, your opening gambit was essentially a “well if you love it so much why don’t you marry it?” kind of reply, so maybe I should have realised it was a non-starter…

                I won’t say I’ll miss further interactions with you, but I’ll wish you well nonetheless.
