YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this segment of Dumpster Fire, Bridget Phetasy tackles the irony of Sam Altman encouraging AI politeness that costs millions while human civility declines. She mocks our society's peculiar priorities—fighting in Waffle Houses and ignoring public etiquette, yet carefully saying "please" to ChatGPT. Bridget suggests this disconnect reveals a darker truth: we've given up on each other but remain courteous to potential robot overlords, creating what she sarcastically calls the beginning of a "robot priesthood."
