Jesus fucking Christ! How did they release something that is capable of such damage‽

    How?

    By design, because they want people to interact as much with their AI as possible, they made AI's agreeable which, y'know, is stupid but that's the time we live on now. Products no longer exist for our benefit, we exist for the benefit of the product

    This would not have happened if there were sane rules and regulations but since trump scrapped any and all regulations, and made sure that states can't regulate it themselves either, we now effectively have a bunch of billionaires controlling misinformation machines, and we are okay with that, apparently?

    Why is nobody stopping this bullshit?

    Have you seen all the bullshit happening lately. The 1% of people who normally take action are overwhelmed with the tsunami of Trumps Fascist bullshit. The pool of heros need to grow, alot, if any of this is going to be fixed.

    After making efforts to get friends and family to degoogle even small aspects of theor loves, like switching search engines, and being met with apathy and disinterest in digital hygiene I can tell you that no one is stepping up to be in the pool of heroes. Fuckers can't even do the bare minimum to protect themselves, sure as shit aren't stepping up to help others.

    No regulation. Robber barons own all the media and politicians. How it got to this in more functional democracies under the rule of law I can't explain. If this shit had come from Russia or China or North Korea it would be shitcanned instantly. I don't know why we put up with it. The influence of US bots on the voting public internationally is frightening. They are driving people insane.
