Yea, there's a lot of work from which it's quite worthwhile to free humanity. It's just that an AI company having that as its tagline and full contents of its social media bio reads with a very particular anime villain cadence. Makes me think of Seymour Guado in Final Fantasy X vowing to "free the world of its sorrow".,

Hey, that's the epic battle fantasy guy. I loved his games back in the flash days.

Scientology would seem like the obvious one, then.

If either of the parties involved were just about any other science fiction author, it would be the among the least damning things I've heard of the other one, but it just had to be these two.

Delightfully non-ominous bio on @getlindy@x.com

Free humanity from work.

Neat, a double strange loop of a bad take!

Poster considers "Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices" a suspect point, and failing to listen further, misinterprets the advice and makes a non sequitur counterpoint.

Poster implies qualms with point "Post less – and think before you post" as well, and accordingly posts without thinking much at all.

That's some self-consistent jackassery right there.

Hell, so is 1/x for positive values of x. Or any linear function, including those with negative slope.

A computer can never be held accountable

Therefore a computer must ~~never~~ always make a management decision

Still 1/5 acronym.

  • Word unrelated to displays or groceries
  • Secondary meaning as a sexual term
  • Already used by Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution which is itself a mediocre acronym at best
  • Two of the four non-particle words, "enhanced" and "environment" are meaningless filler only there to make the acronym work.
