AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, that was fucking atrocious, but given they’re Drowsy Don’s fave, I don’t patronize them anymore. Still an abysmal ad.
Solidarity. Haven't eaten there since September 2024. Besides essentially endorsing Trump, the food is absolutely not worth the exorbitant prices they charge.
I mean, as far as I know they're not exactly touting that fact. If they just say "whatever, here's your damn cheeseburger" that's not really much reason to boycott IMO.
Now, Shake Shack switching to beef tallow for their fries and practically worshipping RFK... They can suck one. Which is a shame, because I'd actually like to try that if it were just a thing they did.
Don't forget that McDonald's ran two separate PR campaigns for the Trump regime.
And THAT is plenty of reason to boycott them. Don't give those traitors another cent. There are a TON of other options to get that greasy junk food fix.
