@jonny @gvwilson Meta and OpenAI and Musk and co just keep raking in the billions from industrial scale piracy of essentially every book in the world for profit

Aaron was driven to kill himself for something much smaller scale and more altruistic.

What a world.

@jonny oh man 😞 I watch the internets own boy at least twice a year and cry every time. R.I.P.

The part that gets me is when they talk about walking past the white house and his remarking "They don't let felons work there".

My rage knows no bounds.

RIP Aaron.

And fuck t_rump.

@jonny I always remember his birthday, first, because he was an awesome person, second reason, we have the same birthdate. The only difference is the year but if I swap the two last figures, we're twins. I'll always remember this genius boy, gone too early.
