You are their target audience.

This is not for you peasants. Feasibility has been demonstrated. They just need to make sure the people who still have it are not distinguishable from the masses who don't.

They do not.

I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours. Obey me and live or disobey me and die.

You can't put anything ephemeral online without these people ignoring any and all "we ask that you do not archive this" signals. The future of the internet is closed behind access controls, not just because of AI: nobody else has any decency left either.

The real bomb is called "boom box".

The glory days of using AI to build a shitty web site with 20% fewer people hours, right before everyone realizes that there's no point to building web sites anymore.

It's terribly sad that their leadership's wine, ehm, grape juice cellar deep underground got destroyed because it was mistaken for something nefarious. Keep dreaming.

Not even their brethren trust them, and their friends, Russia's Putin and China's Xi, only like them in a "the enemy of my enemy isn't my friend but could be useful" kind of way.

The action word there is "playing", i.e. pretending, and only until they wouldn't have to anymore.

Shame if something happened to those cables.

You're building tent cities where people need housing.

"Inefficient system" seems a bit denigrating, but that doesn't seem like such a novel situation. Who hasn't trained their replacement at least once?

Just one? That's ok then, I guess.

only my left arm should be fined and the penalty shall be calculated based on the money I earn with my left arm only. Apple wants to throw its whole weight around but still be treated like an underdog. Nope. With great power comes great responsibility.

The US just did the Brexit thing, or the thing that Russia did when it handed the country over to Putin. "Let's vote for the radical solution because it can't get worse than this". Well, you retards, it fucking can and it fucking will.
