being called an idiot for not having a "coherent and actionable" plan to stop AI
here is our coherent and actionable plan for stopping AI: the people who work at these slop companies who agree with us that it should be stopped should say, as if in union, "i refuse to work on this technology"
instead of privately going "i wish i could, and i would do it, but nobody can put together a plan, and if we don't make good AI, then bad AI will ruin everything forever"

yes, like. you're banning the bot account by ID. if the bot isn't in your discord, it can't join it now. but that doesn't mean that it was ever there in the first place
