@jstein_star Ironically, most of AI’s existence is based on stealing intellectual property and destroying private property and natural resources close to the data centers that power AI. The heart of AI is theft.

@jstein_star The right-wing doesn't like turning the government into a corporation? I'm surprised by that.

@jstein_star @NOTUSreports @CVecchioFX @Tony_BATtista I’m more shocked we still have Rs who believe in successful US capitalist principles rather than abandon/ignore/follow since 2016. Still hope maybe we’ll even get fiscal conservatives next! Lol
