Trolls R Us Resurrections

Interestingly, the first one in the thread wasn’t. Just the later ones.

Maybe it’s that sentient Google chatbot trolling us.

No evidence of sentience detected in any of their posts.

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.

I didn’t even know that was possible.

Any chance @discobot has an evil twin ?

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?

:crystal_ball: You may rely on it

Thank you!!! :exhausted:
