This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Those companies would be screwing you regardless, you can't get a company to do anything but acquire profit without government to restrain them, otherwise they run the show and would own you as a slave. Only government limits their power, which would be absolute otherwise.

Unfortunately, our government is now under the control of corporations and has been for some time (since at least "money is free speech" and "corporations are people" court victories), defeating it's purpose. We used to break up monopolies and remove business licenses for unlawful practices! The good old days.

Hmmm, if corporations are people, and they make and employ AI, that means AI is people or something. So that's kinda neat.

I will not consider a corporation or AI a 'person' until Texas publicly executes one.

Clearly government has failed in limiting their power.
