damn there are thielbux behind every sv monstrosity
At least Musk is hiring people smarter than himself.
E: this kernel mode stuff is very sovcit.
- I know you mean sovereign citizens, but reading "sovcit" my first thought goes to Eastmeg One (and my second thought goes to Eastmeg Two, obviously).
  
  So, would you say you send a lot of time thinking about the citizens of Eastmeg One and Two? Speak directly into the recorder perp.
There's got to be a pithy way of describing something so stupid that an adult person couldn't possibly believe it unless it was in their direct personal interest to do so. Like, "kernel mode" isn't even a particularly clever or interesting form of prompt injection, and probably predates a lot of the current preprocessors. It's the most blatant version of "it scared me after I told it to tell me a scary story" I think we've seen yet, and while that would be one thing for a young person on a forum it doesn't strike me that this one's had much time or incentive to grow up.
"Look how AI abuse by overconfident fools wrecked the government" should easily be a golden campaign platform, but given how credulous influential Democrats are being about cryptocurrency at this late date, I dunno
