Inspiring! Mom and Pop have started a small business and are now franchisees of Megacorp Robotaxi. After financing and purchasing a fleet of cars, they can enjoy a steady and reliable income while only having to take care of vehicle maintenance, autopilot software license fees, accounting, possible municipal taxi licensing and other legal and clerical duties and liabilities of running a business.

Thanks to Megacorp Robotaxi's excellent reputation and customer loyalty and not at all because Megacorp Robotaxi has a de facto monopoly on taxi business, Mom and Pop are not worried about the competition, save for maybe some friendly and good-natured rivalry with other proud franchisees of the Megacorp Robotaxi family.

Maybe one day self-righteous computer crackers will get over the V for Vendetta, apocalypse cult, latin chanting, hooded robes, "we are anonymoos we are a legionella we do not frogger" aesthetic and I can stop cringing about it.

Fucking goofy ahh KKK shit.

I think in this case the crankery is wanting to solve a problem that doesn't even exist, i.e. "how to make sure the machine god is not evil"

Training my militia of revolutionary freedom fighters to attack homeless shelters, soup kitchens, nature preserves, libraries, and children's playgrounds.

I was going to suggest Vitalik Buterin for the Fake Nobel of Economics as a bit, but the coiners already beat me to it.

So my next choices for the award would be SBF or Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Will the rectum monitor keep track of the duration of my nocturnal erections? I need to find out if I can hit 179 minutes to flex on 18-year olds.

You know what's really good for mental health? Work that makes you feel guilty and politics you don't have any influence over.
