Capitalism has cooked these people's brains. There is nothing of value left inside them.

"Make people addicted."
Just in case anyone was ever doubting the fact that the people behind these GenAI products are complete and utter fucking scum.
“Acquire -> Extract” has been the Silicon Valley playbook for decades, now. The enshittification process is just more blatant and accelerated with AI.
We put drug peddlers in prison for trying to addict people. The fact that they are not joking is proof of their malice. That is classic criminal behavior.
Instagram and TikTok already made hundreds of thousands of users addicted, also causing suicides.
The mechanism behind addiction in LLMs, Instagram and TikTok is similar to the one of slot machines: variable rewards, rapid feedback loops, and the exploitation of deep-seated pattern-seeking tendencies.

Sure, or make a good product?
That's what other companies do. They make a good product, and people then depend on it.
The shitty VC companies then enshitify.
The actual "we believe in our product" companies continue making a good product.
replies:
AI Companies: "We want to get people addicted."
Also AI Companies: "Do not ever discuss anything even remotely pornographic."
I am confused as to their goal here.
