Éu sint þonourat es niderat par la zeciziun da promotar-me, es éu sint graciouseu. Mas, schi vaes comtribuziuns sint deneux da tal promotaziun, créu qe las del Ladintsch Naziunal, @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP, sint valentéăs equalmint.

(I'm honored and humbled by the decision to promote me, and I'm grateful. However, if my contributions are worthy of such of a promotion, I believe those of the Ladintsch Naziunal, Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP, are deserving in equal measure.)

With apologies, I believe it would be best to forfeit my games, including my current one against Glüc. Just can't really expect people to be down to play on a day's notice or less.

Mayhaps could match people on a bye against my would-be opponents?

Apologies for the delay. With 0 votes for and 0 votes against, the resolution of confidence in the current governor passes.

I'd first like to follow up on the Cort's advisory opinion by accepting @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC's assignment of the ¡AVANT! Coalition's 1 seat to @Açafat del Val.

However, I'd still like to introduce a revision to the Constitution.

The updated seat distribution is as follows:

Governor - 1 seat
Mximo Carbonèl - 3 seats (senator's seat + Green Party's 2 seats)
Açafat del Val - 2 seats (¡AVANT!)
Vacant - 2 seats - Progressive Alliance (I guess we're kinda past the deadline for assignment.)

Meh, I'll have a go.

Bleeding brakes is a pain in the ass, no matter your skill level.

@King Txec
We do have all the facts, and the fact is, we don't need AI here. I'm not making idle threats over petty fears. I sincerely believe—and I have the past 10 years of cycles of tech-hype, FOMO and starry eyes followed by reality checks to back me up on this—that taking this "opportunity" would at the very least be a massive mistake, and at the worst, possibly become a catalyst for something that destroys the nation completely.

We're nothing but press-piggies to them, and you're letting yourself be used.

If the government tries to install a chatbot as a government official, I'll find a way to file suit, and if that doesn't fix the problem (because, yes, AI is a problem, not a solution), I'll renounce my citizenship, likely for good if there actually is any publicity.

These are the stakes, and I know they are low. I know Talossa would quickly move on without me. But that's integrity: Doing the right thing when you know nobody cares.

Inherent to this proposal is the idea of letting journalists write publications based on the output of a chatbot that, again, nobody has any control over. It's a massive publicity disaster waiting to happen, and that's before you consider that the publicity would mostly attract people who care more about hyping the AI than the nation.

Besides, this quid pro quo of "use our AI and we'll pay you in exposure" is really scummy-looking.

Because you're talking about handing over control of Talossa's image to a glorified, plagiaristic chatbot.

You have no idea what it'll say, and you have no way to control it. It has no loyalty to fact. For all you know, it could say we had a province named after a fascist dictator because we collectively hate Jews, for example.

Frankly, considering the ways AI affects the spaces it's allowed into, the fact that this was being considered—and left undisclosed—without some kind of popular approval beforehand is appalling.

I urge the Crown to immediately reject this proposal in the strongest of terms, to suspend the invitation indefinitely, and to make a public statement categorically refusing this type of engagement with our nation.

Graschciăs àl Coronă per sieu atenziun, es àl noveu Cunstaval per sieu volontarità à servar noastră provinçù.

(Thank you to the Crown for his attention, and to the new Cunstaval for their willingness to serve our province.)

I'm not really sure where exactly our space to conduct provincial affairs is being encroached upon more than for any other province.

Also, @mximo, your vote in the RoC is needed.

Gratüleschaziuns àls þonoureschti.
