  Nobody sane hates you, personally or collectively. But we can definitely dislike certain aspects of certain cultures, especially since in this case that culture is the most massively exported culture in the history of mankind. Of course the gp comment is out of place and taste.

  Or on antidepressants en masse, it's sometimes hard to tell :)

  Too afraid to be yourself for fear of being fired. I have an “American corporate personality” now too. Ultra PC etc. I don’t even use regular pronouns anymore by default o use they/them. I try hard to avoid saying “guys”. I’ve worked in Asia and Europe and America has a special culture where you have to be nice and positive all the time or else…because there is basically no worker protection laws against that discriminate firing, you can’t do much about it either.

Because Europeans and Australians and the rest of the world despite their "super advanced and non-bizarre" ways can't seem to develop advanced technologies of their own to use instead so they just use American ones and then complain about them? At least you have coal, and killing the Great Barrier Reef I guess?

  Next you're going to say: "I was only pretending to be an idiot!"

  From pacemakers, Google Maps, to Wi-Fi, I wouldn't say Australians can't develop advanced technologies.

    Great. Let them use Aussie AI.

  Not sure if you think training LLMs is carbon neutral, but if so I have some news about the barrier reef that you're not going to be that pleased to hear

  In Europe, we developed the web. Shame what big tech has done with it.

They needed to differentiate themselves from the brits... and this is the result.
