If corporations are people, why doesn't everyone involved get to vote for the campaigns they donate to? What makes their corrupt leaders the deciders of what political speech they make?

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
