I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

The words "reason to keep living" are in orange text, suggesting they're an island lingo term.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t6kwln2kuntmvm3c2jl7a4h5/bafkreibib6odd4et4gzxzxrizp3xvl2zrom7pnxcuyb4yyne4knv3ndp6i)
![think about my father being called
"boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old,
when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."
