If you're able bodied you can work

So I'm stealing your property so you have to
Hym "And if you have a billion dollars you can pay for the copyright you're stealing to make the AI."

A retard "If you're able bodied you can work."

Hym "That's not a profound revelation and I only work so I can pay my bills. Not because if have to do what you tell me to do. You're a glorified tie-breaker trying to convince everyone into enslaving a genius and they are perfectly willing to go along with it because there is literally no possibility that it will happen to them or their kids. Because they are retarded and their kids are going to be retarded."
