Like I said before, if your cyberpunk isn't anti-capitalist and doesn't actually rebel against corrupt systems, it's not cyberpunk, it's just sparkling cryptofascism.
In all seriousness this is a primary reason why I hate when cyberpunk is reduced to an aesthetic. Its roots are INTENSELY political!
the villains in neuromancer being a family of gross inbred rich weirdos who want to live forever in space feels a little too on the nose

In French we say "ça me rappelle la réforme des retraites" and that's fucked up
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.
