Here’s a substack post (sorry) with a quote I found both neat and pretty funny:

Integrity comes from the Latin "integer," meaning whole or complete. A person with integrity is "whole" in the sense that their words, actions, and values are unified rather than fragmented or contradictory. They understand themselves; they have integrated the warring parts of themselves; and they respect and act on the values that their parts can agree upon.

I would love this, lmfao

Claims to be against politics in the workplace, takes down rightwing websites anyway

This might be one of those “careful what you wish for” scenarios. The neutral outcome might well be that they generate dialog with training data from Scots Wikipedia. Or Scots Grokipedia I guess
