    Cmon guys, we all really need to make small sacrifices like having salty and starchy coffees if we want the data centers to have enough water to function. It’s a small inconvenience when you compare it to all the great ways we can use AI to scam each other’s grandparents into buying us all gift cards.

      Your wording makes it sound like the end result is we actually get gift cards… You do know that’s not how scams work, right??

        Wait, what kind of currency are you scamming old people for? Pretty sure the elderly know that the IRS needs them to go to CVS and buy 5k worth of Google points so they can pay their delinquent taxes.

      I bet it’s rage bait. Sometimes stupid shit like this is astroturfed because we should all definitely make fun of each other instead of raging at the actual machine
