remember, regardless of how outspoken you are in life, nothing will stop the capitalists from reanimating your defiled corpse into a shitheaded centrist zombie if there’s a buck in it:

“I’d just like to say that as much as I think billionaires are destroying the fabric of society with unchecked greed and blatant self-interest at the expense of basic human rights for everyone else, it is a little strange to me that people get mad at them. People are the ones who gave them the money in the first place," the AI Carlin said.

(editor’s note: the above is supposed to be a joke from the comedy special these fucking assholes hijacked Carlin’s corpse to promote. I can’t find the punchline, but it’s supposed to be a joke)

    Do 1 & 2 all you want under your own goddamn name. The problem isn’t trying to imitate Carlin, the problem is trying to dig up his corpse, pretend to be him for credulous rubes, and profit off his name.

      Took the word from my mouth. Even if the performance is as good as the real thing, why would you want a fake Carlin over equally good genuine Not-Carlin?

      At best it’s a good comedy show with a morally dubious deepfake gimmick. You’d think the novelty value of hologram 2Pac had faded a bit by now.
