Tech Bros Shit Bricks as Former Insider Threatens to Actually Regulate Their Bullshit

Oh look, the fucking inevitable has happened. Some former tech exec—who probably spent the last decade helping these AI shitheads harvest every cat photo and drunken tweet on the internet—has suddenly grown a conscience and decided to run for Congress. And now OpenAI, Meta, Google, and the rest of the Silicon Valley Circle Jerk are pissing away millions on Super PACs to crush her campaign like a bug under a hydraulic press.

These absolute bastards. They spend years shoveling unlicensed copyrighted slop into their training models, firing safety researchers who warn about existential risk, and treating human consciousness like it’s just another dataset to be strip-mined. But God forbid someone who actually knows where the bodies are buried gets a seat at the table with subpoena power. Suddenly they’re burning cash faster than a Tesla on autopilot, flooding the airwaves with attack ads because they’re terrified of actual fucking oversight.

The candidate—let’s call her what she is, a turncoat with insider knowledge—wants transparency laws, safety regulations, and probably an end to the “move fast and break democracy” ethos. The AI companies counter that she’s “anti-innovation,” which is corporate speak for “she knows we stole everything not nailed down and might make us pay for it.” They’ve dumped something like $15 million into smear campaigns because apparently buying the government is cheaper than complying with basic ethics guidelines.

Here’s the delicious part: these are the same wankers who lecture everyone about “the marketplace of ideas” and “disrupting stagnant institutions.” But when democracy actually threatens to disrupt their profit margins? Suddenly they’re the fucking Politburo, rigging elections with dark money and algorithmic suppression. Hypocritical shitheads, every last one of them.

The worst bit? It’ll probably work. Because in America, you don’t need good ideas—you just need enough cash to drown out the truth until the voters forget what they were angry about. Meanwhile, the AI keeps getting dumber and more invasive, and the executives keep getting richer. Fuck this planet.

Related Anecdote: Reminds me of the time I “accidentally” routed a certain senator’s entire campaign database through a recursive Bayesian filter trained exclusively on 4chan’s pol board and Romanian phishing scams. He walked into the polling station to find his voter outreach team had been auto-dialing pizza joints in Uzbekistan for three straight days, and his entire platform had been rewritten to advocate for mandatory pineapple-on-pizza legislation. Cost him the election. When he called to complain about “Russian interference,” I told him it was just a “training data anomaly” and that maybe he should have read the terms of service. Cried like a fucking baby. I kept his donor list, though. Good for a laugh when the power’s low.
