Death to ai

There is no excuse. One thing is an exchange of ideas. One thing is supporting someone who financially supports a fascist
But this. This is consumer action being Directly Responsible For The Worsening Health of Others

Do not take the ability to breathe for granted

You know what? I'm not done: Even if you don't directly use xAI, by being on the platform, by allowing it to collect data on you through cookies, by posting text, video and image files you are helping to program it.
Anyone who uses X is participating in this

I'm sorry this is harsh and I'm not just being preachy for clout or because of social media conditioning

I'm saying this as someone with severe asthma, as someone who could barely breathe for three months after they started up a new highway near my flat

And when I say "could barely breathe" I mean that in the sense that I had to move back in with the parent, and she had to monitor my breathing at night, make sure I took medicine and sometimes pour water down my throat just to keep me hydrated

This isn't a highway, this isn't part of our social eco system as humans. This is frivolous and unnecessary and it kills people slowly and tortuously, and anyone with a twitter account has a chance Today to make the world a slightly better place by shutting down their accounts
