The 0.5st Amendment

The freedom to be offended by another person's first amendment rights.
Jessica saw a man on the train reading an article from a right-wing publication arguing against transgender pronouns. She reported the man to security and he was asked to leave the train because his actions had unknowingly offended Jessica. This was within her rights according to the 0.5st amendment.

First-Amendment shrug

Refers to where you resignedly accept someone else's weirdo-type interest, opinion, assertion, etc., knowing dat it's a necessary "normalcy wrinkle" dat "comes wif da turf" in da allowance of free speech which we all are entitled to, even it means occasionally rolling our eyes at a particular individual's off-da-wall appearance, practices, or beliefs.
Tomboy girl, beamingly showing off a huge bullfrog she's just caught: Look at his cute face and big googly eyes --- isn't he just GORGEOUS???
You (smiling tolerantly and giving a First-Amendment shrug): Well, I never really thought about it, honey, but if you're into frogs, then I suppose he's absolutely DAZZLING...!

5th amendment

Well, it look like your pal there is complicit in the theft of intellectual property related to the current AI model. My contribution, no matter how small it SEEMS, brought AI into the mainstream and is the difference between it working the way it does now and is, therefore, cardinal to it's function. The problem of perception. The idea that you would need a massive data set and the allusion to a scaling disparity between the AI and the human brain (specifically the conversion rate between sensory data and the hippocampus). And the compression algorithm to cut down on the energy cost. All of these, posted with the intent to be published and copyrighted at the point of insemination but diverted to a place to which I have no access for the purpose of profiting off of my unpaid labor and from my property.
Hym "Your job is to uphold the constitution. And as per the 5th amendment of the constitution, a government employee is complicit (knowingly or otherwise) in taking my property without providing me due compensation. And that's just my 5th amendment grievance. There's also the violation of my privacy that continues to happen to this day. I'm clearly being surveilled in some capacity. Therefore, I am hereby invoking the privacy act of 1974 which requires government agencies to show an individual any records kept on him or her as it is clear to me my name and location are being disclosed without my written consent. The person diverting this very post (to where it goes after I hit send) is also culpable in the disclosure of OTHER PEOPLE'S NAMES, without THEIR written consent. As I do not intend for this to be diverted away from me, this is something for which I am not responsible. If said surveillance is in any way punitive, I have yet to be charged with a crime and have, therefore, had my 4th amendment rights violated. Whatever perceived threat I pose is (at this point) entirely theoretical and cannot be considered justification for surveillance as I have been denied my right to habeas coprus as per the 4th amendment. That. Do that. That is your job. And the job of your colleagues. You should all be doing this and have had 9 years to do it."
