Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI...and yet these people just won't leave them well enough alone.
People have become generally corrupt. Voted for a President convicted of like 34 counts of fraud, investigations into fraud have disappears, people convicted of fraud have been pardoned, corporations openly bribing the government. Social media is filled with training courses on how to scam people and most of those courses are themselves a scam.
AI (and crypto before that) are just technological expressions of deep rooted corruption. And laziness... all a part of the get rich quick mentality that considers hard work to be for suckers.
