Big tiddy goth gf?
Wizard_Pope had big Big tiddy goth gf ambitions. They came at the cost of human rights.
Narrator:
But humans suffered but gf never materialized.
She did. Just not big tiddy nor goth
This is KSA weβre talking about here. Human rights violations are always part of the deal. You could say itβs the currency they trade in.
Ah but then they can't buy them, since they already spent their human rights on lavish royal lifestyles.
Saudi Arabia is humanities dumbest prank.
they ~~could~~ will come at the cost of human rights
FTFY
The problem when you have money pouring out of your orifices is you don't really care all that much about costs.

It's not a bad idea if you think about it. During the day you have lots of light and it's cold there at night.
AI always comes at the cost of human rights with how we are handling it. Maybe it could have been a niche useful thing, or a helpful tool. But no, the chatbots are become unemployment, destroyer of jobs.
Also the people who do the tagging and feedback for training tend to be underpaid third-world workers.
could? saudia arabia? any organization hoping to make a buck in this system, at a large enough scale, WILL cost human rights. this is how the system is designed.
Didn't Bin Laden come from the Saudi royal family?
