Lol I'm on the visa line with Visa now, they have a prepared statement about this.

They are trying to say they only ever block purchases unless it's illegal.

They explicitly said they DO NOT moderate purchases unless it is illegal multiple times. I kept challenging her and saying it's not illegal, yet they moderate, but she told me she can only read the prepared statement and repeated it multiple times. She then told me I would have to email them to "share my perspective" and then hung up on me.

I love how facts are just rendered to perspectives now.

I like the story but hate the fact it's all in separate tweets.

They just wasted your time too with their strung out story. They're in too deep!

If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it's gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community 😄

I just called visa and got the send an email spiel. I didn't have time to do more time wasting, but it's clear from the person I talked to they are getting lots of calls.

The person in the screenshots getting the supervisor and escalating is a top tier time waster, great work!

I support this but I find it fascinating the steam this can build and quick activism with guides and yet I never see any of this stuff when it comes to political policies

Threats to the bottom line is the thing that motivates companies faster than anything else.
