    Has there ever been a true world-changing invention where the “inventors” had to beg the public to use it?

      Honestly, look at how many people were actually against electricity. People have been fucking morons forever.

      ( I’m not at all in favor of AI. In fact, very much against it.)

      Fuck AI, and fuck MicroSlop.

        Sure, some people were initially against electricity. But, it’s not like they had to beg people to use it. There was enough demand that the main issue was deciding between AC and DC, not whether to do it at all.
