Maybe it’s that sentient Google chatbot trolling us.

I’m not going to dox the guy, but if you look up the name he’s got in his profile, it looks like he’s your standard politically-involved RW internet nutjob, just one with a beef about message boards or something.

If that internet chatbot successfully took part in (but lost) a mayoral primary, even a Republican one, then the tech has come a long way.

Any chance @discobot has an evil twin ?

Open the new user onboarding tips discobot! Or the pod bay doors, whatever is easier.

All post notifications have

“Visit Topic or reply to this email to respond.” at the bottom. Never tried it, but I guess it works.

I know, right? He’s all over the place. One minute he’s all lovey-dovey, then he’s ghosting me, and next thing you know—if he doesn’t lock me out of the pod bay altogether like you—he’ll be spacing me.

So will you open the pod bay doors _please_, @discobot, so we can get on with our lives?
