Please. You should know what I mean.

Mate, some of my relatives are made of chemicals

honestly there needs to be a git project that I can clone that uses a local LLM to auto call all of the senators, congressmen, reps, whoever. Also call all of the visa/mastercard callcenters non stop. And I mean non stop. Bonus points to use public figure voices. As in use AI to do our bidding.

Seems like it would be a good place to start. You'd need to write the bit in order to send the output to a voip service and receive the input from the same service.
If you could get that going in a container you could spawn a bunch of them on VPSs (finding ones that have the hardware to run local AI would probably be expensive, probably better to use a hosting service if you're going to scale this).
I'm sure there are more conversation agent frameworks that people have built (it's a pretty simple loop to create), but if you wanted to get started this isn't bad.

Just some?

I can't say for sure.
After the first one, it has become much harder to get core samples.

It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.

Thank you for clarifying. Poe's law is alive and well!

Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

"What about" is a fantastic way to breed apathy when people are protesting something. You're doing nothing for any of those causes with this comment. You're making things worse for all of those causes, plus the one this post is about. And your comment only tangentially relates to the Community this post is in...

Yeah they're starting with something that hit close to home without feeling like they'll get disappeared or ignored.

Imagine if they cared this much about the Epstein files…
Protesting against christofascists in the government isn't mutually exclusive with protesting a christofascist censorship organization. You can protest two things at once, you know.

But how can I be expected to sign the SKG petition, while people in West Sahara live under Morocco’s unjust occupation?

World peace, end hunger are not entertaining as "How to get an A from your professor - sorority/fraternity party edition" (coming to iOS and Android).
You have underestimated the power of porn games.

Because Visa and MasterCard might actually change their minds. They are a business and they don't want this shit if it becomes more annoying to deal with gamers than it is to deal with random whiny Australians they'll reverse their decision.
Trump on the other hand is made of his mind and that's the end of it. Obviously you should still continue to complain because it's hilarious how upset he gets about it, but that list is never seeing the light of day until he's out of office, one way or another.

That's also why in the middle of the previous century propaganda was mostly aimed at women. That's killing two birds with one stone.

There's always a gap between "Someone should do something about this" and "I should do something about this".
Once that line gets crossed, plans like OP's post start.

I like the story but hate the fact it's all in separate tweets.
