People create content knowing others are going to get filthy rich off it and they’ll get nothing in return. Except total loss of privacy.

Replace “nobody” with “nobody who contributes to society; nobody I gave a shit about in the first place” and you’re on track.

I believe this is why tech execs and investors are so hot on pushing AI into everything. They’ll control everyone’s digital experience and you can 100% count on being force fed ads and paid propaganda. Embrace, extend, extinguish

I tried playing 2 again recently because I had the same thought, and I had to stop because my wife would not stop laughing at Rose’s dialogue. God, I wish Kojima had ever met a woman.

Letting Google break the law for years with illegal anti-competitive practices is now hurting everyone else’s ability to earn money.

I wonder if we have the combined will to do anything about it, or if we will wait and hope the invisible hand of the market will fix it…
