Technology has so greatly and so significantly outpaced the law for so long now, that we may never recover from unregulated tech bro shit from my youth, and now that I'm old enough to have school aged kids, it has only gotten exponentially worse.

  • "AI school?" A technological horror beyond comprehension
  • "65k annual tuition?" For ChatGPT school? ChatGPT is FREE, you freakazoids
  • "Our little Xyler graduated AI kindergarten with a 5.0 GPA and a Doctorate in brain surgery?" Please let there be a god and let him be vengeful I need to know that there will someday be an end to all this
