We need a Butlerian Jihad NOW.

Like dude, this technology is actively rotting brains - the people making it know it will let them control the population if they aren't stopped, and they're incidentally some of the wealthiest people on the planet. Their ability to fund through any organic resistance to this slop machine bullshit is notably dangerous, and they are actively doing this.

Forcing normalization through the things they control - the hiring of the labor force, the companies they run set trends because every other LLC on the planet more or less wants to be where these billionaires are, so if they try to make fetch happen, everyone outside the... jesus christ... "neo-feudal techno-fash" enclave is rushing to imitate them.

In Dune, (at least before the son's books, which are to be rightly ignored) the revolution happens not because a true AI emerges, but because this type of human-imitating machine let a handful of people control the minds of entire populations.

We have literal proof that this technology rots brains. This is existential, and the fact these assholes are seeking to get recognizance of life from a religious institution like the Vatican says they understand the vector of their own attack pretty well - the illusion of life + creating a society that pushes us to alienate and isolate, is what's letting it be effective on the human mind.

We have to start treating this tech as the existential nightmare it is. If they get a certain % of the population dependent on this tech, we're cooked as a species.

I hate sharing my thoughts on this stuff because people who really don't understand the danger want to play down the risks and keep laughing at the idiots looking for religious validation like it's only stupid and hilarious, and ignore the fact it's also really fucking dangerous
