Figures that a slop company’s CEO wouldn’t have words of his own, rather have the machine generate slop for him, but this stuck out

We can’t stop the bus, but we can steer it …

What a bullshit statement. It’s not that you can’t stop it, but rather that you won’t stop it. It’s an active choice you’re making, and not a compulsion like in the case of a kleptomaniac. Machine learning isn’t some natural force, it’s entirely man-made and we can stop whenever we want.

No, you’re not uncontrollable kleptomaniacs, you’re just doing the same shit the rich elite has always done; you exploit the world around you and you get away with it scot-free.

Also, you can stop a bus. It’s an integral part of how they fucking operate. Not that I’d expect a CEO to have ever been on one.
