I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. I can say Fuck You Donald Trump. They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.

Folks, FOLKS. This *includes* AI “art” making fun of Trump, or Elon, or whatever other political thing you agree with. It’s not “No fucking AI” unless it scores a point for my side. It’s “NO FUCKING AI.” Period.
