the big AI danger is not companies suddenly inventing skynet - that's marketing rubbish, musk promising mars colonies by 2030 type stuff. the danger is companies claiming to have invented skynet and then putting what they actually have, a chatbot, in charge of stuff that's important
I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.
I'm still in the mood for fan art and I like this format, so I will be open for commissions (no NSFW) They will be chibis that have a 64-pixel height approximately, like those examples Send me a DM! #commissions #pixelart #ドット絵
