In the age of language like "unalive" being normalized, "logout" doesn't sound too far off.
> normalized Only amongst the chronically online. There is very much still a big world out there, unmediated by a glowing screen, in which that would still sound ridiculous.
While not saying the he was unalived, the FBI got very close when talking about how Cadets at Old Dominion killed the person who attacked them.

I feel bad for people who have a mutation that caused them to grow an extra finger. Now every picture of them people are going to say its AI.
Commit crimes wearing an extra prosthetic finger. You can dispute any video footage as AI generated.
I add an extra elbow too, just to be sure.

#140> Mark Twain once wrote, “Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” I never expected to field-test the quote personally.
Hat tip to you, Sir!
And glad to hear you are alive and kickin', and haven't lost your sense of humor.
