Dang, you make one tweet about Claude Code and you end up on a list titled “AI Shills — White men shilling planet-killing Al with every breath as they pay **** Elon Musk for fake clout.” Hey c’mon I drive a hybrid and have solar panels, pal!

Just a heads up that there are entire galaxies out there that are essentially cosmic zombies. They stopped forming new stars billions of years ago but are still cruising through space like massive stellar graveyards. Thought you should know.
