Text Resistbot at 50409 and have it write and send a letter to your representatives. All of them.
Just give it a news article and it’s AI whips it up for you to proof read.
Give it a try and make your voices heard.
I couldn't imagine a faster way to make our voices useless than to fill our representatives' inboxes with AI spam...
This service is the most dystopian thing I've seen in a while.
"You know what's gonna fix democracy? Reducing civic engagement to having AI generate letters based off AI-generated articles to send to our representatives, who will filter and summarize them using AI, and plug the input into the law-making AI! The downfall of democracy was humanity's capacity for independent thought!"
This is a bad idea to end all bad ideas.
Let's give them an excuse to close their means of communication to the people to "combat AI spam".

Capitalists make a liar out of the promise of The Internet.
I think we should drag em through the streets four different ways at once over it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Funimation, a Sony-owned streaming service for anime, recently announced that subscribers' digital libraries on the platform will be unavailable after April 2.
For years, Funimation had been telling subscribers that they could keep streaming these digital copies of purchased movies and shows, but qualifying it: “forever, but there are some restrictions.”
But in addition to offering video streaming, Funimation also dubbed and released anime as physical media, and sometimes those DVDs or Blu-rays would feature a digital code.
For people lacking the space, resources, or interest in maintaining a library of physical media, this was a good way to preserve treasured shows and movies without spending more money.
It also provided a simple way to access purchased media online if you were, for example, away on a trip and had a hankering to watch some anime DVDs you bought.
Regarding refunds, Funimation's announcement directed customers to its support team "to see the available options based on your payment method," but there's no mention of getting money back from a DVD or Blu-ray that you might not have purchased had you known you couldn't stream it "forever."
