One of my favorite AI image apps is promoting Elon Musk today. Have uninstalled and left a 1 star review explaining why. Is there a site or someplace where people are keeping track of all these companies that are supporting the new Nazis?

    I was listening to an audio book the other day and it mentioned Elon Musk and Kanye West unironically within three sentences of each other. The book was written in 2018, but still pretty cringe. I refunded today, the book was already pretty ick to begin with and those two put it over the top.

        It was Book 2 of the Extinction series called Extinction Countdown by James D Prescott. The whole series was available for 1 credit so I thought I gave it a try.

        Book 1 was very cliche and over the top, but enjoyable enough. Kinda dumb and predictable but good enough. Pretty short as well, so for a credit per book it would have been too expensive. However Book 2 doubled down on all the bad parts of Book 1 and turned the cringe to 11.

        It said: “If even 10% of the predictions made by Elon Musk om Ai are true…” I rolled my eyes so hard I think I hurt myself. Then three sentences later they went on about Kanye West’s new fashion line. So I turned it off for then, thought about it today and refunded. The author probably meant well, but oof.
