I didn't make you steal it, bitch

Yeah, no, don't let that fucking Mexican back here until I get my money. I don't give a fuck what the Supreme Court says.
Hym "Hey, I didn't make you steal it, bitch. OK? I said 'I'm creating AI. If you steal it or try to steal it without paying me I will murder a child.' Dr. Jordan Peterson read all of that (and cried about it) and was actively using my work in his public speeches. And then he had 'the world's leading expert in AI' on his show the day after I rendered what he was saying about AI being unable to perceive UNTRUE. And with in a week we had usable AI that became part of the mainstream overnight. You're lucky I don't have an itchy trigger finger. So, I know at least one of you motherfuckers saw it. I told you not to fucking steal it. You stole it. I have yet to be credited or paid. The jig is up. It's time to shit or get off the pot. I'm not letting those overpaid cripples put a bulwark of lawyers up in front of me so they don't have to pay me. They did not give a fuck what the law says when they took it and they don't give a fuck if I stab your daughter, so, neither do I. They planned on stealing it and then hiding behind billions of dollars worth of lawyers and I'm not letting them do it and if you're going to then you might as well bring me a terminally ill kid for me kill because you're doing this to yourself at this point."

Checking to make sure

I'm just...
Hym "Checking to make sure what I think the word means is consistent with the definition. (Which I've seen change with the word glib specifically). Seriously. You're just screaming 'equal' at me. Shut up. I have an actual problem."
