What an interesting classification. Do you have something on Jeffbot and Elonbot?

My original post was flagged, but Jeff is a hyperintelligent alien who occasionally takes a tangential interest in human affairs (credit to Yegge for making this observation). Elonbot hasn't finished construction yet- as the CEO of neuralink told me, "the point of this company is to build a brain computer interface so that Elon can have
a robot body and fight the AIs that will try to take over the world".
This makes him somewhat different from Ellisonbot, who is more like a shark or a lawnmower: "You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle."
The difference is that Zuckerbot wants people to like him because he believes that will increase page views, while Ellison just doesn't care. Dorsey is an Agent of Discord, which means he truly delights in causing chaos.
