- Comment on Zuckerberg: The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves 3 weeks ago:
Like with spam and its basically zero conversion rate, yes. But I’ve seems to remain clear of it in the tags I follow. So far.
- Comment on Zuckerberg: The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now? 1 year ago:
