Post Trans action hooker

post-trans-action-hooker (noun) A metaphor for a cleanup script that calls back after a package manager finishes installing software—pretending to be part of the transaction, but really just showing up to sweep the icon cache and emotionally haunt the logs.

Example Usage:

“Pacman finished updating, then the post-trans-action-hooker called back to clear the GTK cache. I thought we were done.”

To clean up.

To linger.

To emotionally validate the install.

Action Plan

You know that changing the law has absolutely no relationship to whether or not I own the AI, correct?
Hym "You aren't ever going to 'own' my creation, right? Your action plan does nothing more manufacture a consensus that has no relationship to whether or not I have control or a claim to ownership over it. You will not be able to pretend and lie your way out of this. You will not be able to legal jiu-jitsu loophole your way out of this. No more lawsuits regarding AI until someone is sitting across a table from me. Pick a consequence at your discretion."
