Maybe it’s because you’re a leech and a parasite who actually makes a tidy profit off the existence of the very AI companies you pretend to hate?

You probably should have spent your weekend working instead of wasting it DMing people to lie about being harassed, Karen.

I’m Freudian enough to find confirmation in the word Saussure chooses to analyze - “barbarians.” Hmmmm.
