No Empathy or Sympathy

Exactly, except YOU are a crippled talkshow host and I am not. Hey, I have an idea! Why not do an episode on why the AI works now when it didn't before? Oh! To keep the guy who did it from being more successful that you and it might implicate you in burying a story that would have prevented a school shooting? Wow! You're clearly the good one and he is the bad one.

Hym "Hey! I have no empathy or sympathy either! Good thing they need me for the AI and people like having alive kids! Hey, did your former employees press charges from sexual battery yet? Because they should do that."

Weaponized Empathy

"Weaponized empathy" refers to the use of empathy as a manipulative tool for personal gain or to control others, rather than for genuine understanding or support. It is commonly used in faking or exaggerating emotional understanding to manipulate someone into doing what you want, often by guilting them or by implying what they're doing is unfair.

Person A: "I really need you to cover my shift tomorrow."
Person B: "I can’t, I’ve got plans already."
Person A: "Oh, I see. I just thought you’d understand how stressed I’ve been lately. It must because I'm black, right? Don't you care about stopping racism?"
Person B: "That's.. That's not how that works?"
Person A: "Shut up, Nazi."
Person B: "Enough with the weaponized empathy already!"
