Fuck AI

It looks like they’re still very much trying to build this stupid city, and are doing everything they can to circumvent local opposition.

About a year ago, some guy knocked on my door as part of a canvas to gauge the support of towns in the surrounding area, but he never once mentioned that this dumb Silicon Valley wet dream was the project he was talking about. He spoke in very vague terms about “building community” and providing “housing and opportunities for the working class,” which sounded great so I said of course I support those things. He smiled, jotted something down and then left. I called after him asking what organization he represented, and he turned around, handed me a postcard with a shitty AI generated image on it, and then he was gone. Turns out it was California Forever, the org behind the dystopian exploitation fantasy that is their juvenile idea for a new city. I felt violated, humiliated, and furious. They’re doing some seriously underhanded bullshit to try to force this down our throats.
