Theoretically you can amend the constitution at will if you control congress, the presidency, and one state legislature. You just carve up (for example) Texas to create another 150 states out of a rural area with each occupied by loyal party members. Then you admit them (only need a simple majority) and use them to push through any amendments you want. This would almost certainly trigger a civil war, but as far as I know it is legal.

Heh. I (US) cancelled this morning and they tried to offer me basic as an alternative to cancellation.

Merits of the tech aside, It is amazing to see how many people are becoming ludites in response to this technology, especially those in industries who thought they were safe from automation. I feel like there has always been a sense of hubris between the creative industries and general labor, and AI is now forcing us to look in a computer generated mirror and reassess how special we really are.

Whoa, whoa, whoa you can’t have a guy just make coffee. First we need to have a meeting to discuss this, then form a sub committee to put together a survey, then follow up meetings to approve the survey and email verbiage, then more committee meetings to compile the results and another meeting with top brass to review the results and approve the coffee selection. Then we will need another meeting to form a new committee to write the bid for the coffee contract. A meeting to approve the bid. A committee to review bids and pick a winner, a meeting to review the review of the bids and formally approve the contract. Then purchasing will need to meet to determine which account to bill. We will also need to meet and firm committees to establish procedures for procurement, storage, and production of the coffee as well as formal job duties and probably a liability waver if the coffee is to hot. So we will need to meet with legal as well.
