First of all, this c has absolutely skyrocketed in the coming years. I made it in a panic. (I was worried that AI would bedazzle everyone, everyone would be onboard, and it would ruin everything forever.) Although a lot of what I feared didn’t happen, I’m still glad to have made this thing.

I don’t know if this sub is going to be brigaded by Boosters like it was early on, or if they’ll try some sort of cyberattack, but the reason I appointed so many moderators was because I was worried that Boosters would come in, try some bad-faith tactics, and screw over any resistance against AI.

I now realize that having a pro-AI “camp” is misleading. Adopting any new technology must prove itself to be worth its cost. There have been patents, like Flexplay, or Tetraethyllead, that are not worth their cost. What Boosters are saying is that, if you oppose the use of Flexplay of Tetraethyllead, you are in an “anti-Flexplay” or “anti-Tetraethyllead” camp, and if you can’t come up with a convincing argument against it, you should just accept the technology.

Since it’s been a while since my last log, and the c has changed, I don’t think this will be brigaded.
