Screaming obscenities at the AI customer service rep will get it to transfer you to a real person much faster than being polite to it will

Telling it you're gonna kill yourself because its help was so bad also works! (at last with broadcom's AI, which is really annoying)

Ooh I like that. I wonder if you could guilt trip one of these customer service AIs into lower your bill that way.

Ive seen a vid of someone gaslighting ChatGpt till it burned out

Gaslight it into thinking it already agreed to lower your bill. At the very least you'll short circuit it into passing your call to real person.

When you tie a shoe, you should always tie it clockwise and never counter-clockwise.
This has to do with Feng Shui as cosmic currents tend to run counter-clockwise,
thus strengthening the ties between yin and yang.

You can curate your own feed of entertainment and information without any one platform and you can intentionally consume information and media.

Most farm gates do not have cameras and few farmers walk the entire fence everytime they let their animals graze
