    Since the content is red-hats cheering destruction as an analogy for the cult of MAGA, using an AI - tech being pushed by the huge billionaire oligarchs the pull the political strings - seems a bit of a contradiction, or at worse hypocrisy.

    I would argue you’re right it would work as any scrawled doodle, but in this context medium-specificity is important. Altered truth (finger count), wasteful precious resources (AI servers), and the theft of human creativity (data training) kinda IS what the destruction in the picture represents.

      Fascism is not the same kind of problem as spicy autocomplete. Jesus fuck.
