  • We need new solutions to adapt to this reality.

    Problem should solve itself once investor capital is no longer flooding into these AI companies and subsidizing the cost of generating that text.

    Once these spammers have to pay the full cost to generate their LLM-generated spam, it will no longer be financially viable for them to do so for so little return. They’re only doing it now because it’s free or next to free. Having to pay what it actually costs will slow the pervasive AI slop to nearly nothing.
















  • What about the extremely demotivated?

    A) To do the right thing, you report for Senate duty as required, but then request that your mentor Senator put it up for a vote to excuse you from service, along with an explanation/sob story of why you really don’t want to be a Senator. If 66% of other Senators agree that you shouldn’t be forced to, then you don’t have to.

    or,

    B) Just ignore it and potentially face legal consequences like steep fines or judgements requiring community service hours.

    But … yeah. The people who don’t want to be in government are the exact sort who should be in government, so it shouldn’t be an easy thing to get out of.

    (Also … serving in the Senate doesn’t necessarily have to be that onerous. The Senate can vote to set their own hours and meeting times, after all, and can always vote to take a recess whenever they want. Perhaps most of it could be done remotely, better allowing you to continue your life/career outside of it.)
