A shameful choice, considering Javins's direct role in firing Gretchen Felker-Martin as part of the Charlie Kirk witch hunt. A capitulator.

We're gonna live in the Psycho-Pass anime where the cops' guns decide whether to fire, but of course we'll get a stupider, more evil version where they only say yes.
I don't recall off hand who made the point about AI being, more than anything else, a machine for displacing responsibility. That increasingly looks like its most reliable feature

This is a good point. Is it really enough to just eliminate their jobs? That's getting off pretty easy.
the only real question is: are we okay with laying off most of the health insurance industry? and i personally am, but i get why some others might not feel the same way
