Well, I’m honored. Also, it’s night time, so everything’s pink.

AI will replace us all.

[Note also that this tweet is from Feb. 15. It is now April 20. Good job, Twitter.]

[Update, 22 Apr 2018: Aww. Twitter gave my appeal a careful 2.5 seconds of consideration and came back with this:

«Follow and hear the voices on . The Iraq war blood lust was overpowering, yet couched in such ‘rational’ terms by ppl facing zero consequences. We see the same clusterfuck of insanity today. Every one of these lives mattered.

All of our lives were changed forever by the Global War on Terror.

Some lost loved ones, a family member or a friend.

Some of us lost arms, legs, and in many cases some other intangible part of ourselves.
