@davidgerard "be a big scary robot and chase us around the room while saying " AAARRRRGH!""
"I am a big scary robot. AAARRRRGH!"
"Oh my god!"

stop it you’re scaring them

@cyberquixote @huronbikes they did not donate sufficiently to Pivot to AI and have not purchased the official cult garments, they need more fear

remember: Sam Altman cries eight deliciously bitter tears for every dollar donated

> the official cult garments

The emperor's new underwear? How Discordian of you.

@davidgerard @cyberquixote @huronbikes Hmm. So if we make you rich, it will have the side effect of Sam drowning in his own tears?

I'm finding this appealing.

@davidgerard @cyberquixote there's official cult garments? Is it a gold lamé thong? "Is that Roko's Trouser Trout or you just happy to see me?"
