Just to be clear: Will she be fighting for or against human trafficking?
I give her until November 4. At which point she'll be replaced with another blonde.
If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.
You know what I'm doing RIGHT NOW? Me neither.
"I, for one, welcome our robotic overlords." I do wonder, though, if we'll see a slew of billionaires changing the names of their companies and products to comply with this. I totally expect OpenAI to become OpenSI, which will inadvertently boost sales for Sports Illustrated.
