Because Of Course
The death of AI should come when it becomes obvious to people that it's set up to manipulate them into buying a certain product, or thinking a certain way, or voting for certain politicians.
Deep fakery and GOP fuckery could turn the midterms into a total fucking joke.
So I'm still hopeful, but not at all confident. Because we are the stoopid country.

Selective Conspiracism
Selective conspiracism refers to a cognitive and political phenomenon where individuals or groups pick and choose which conspiracy theories to believe based on their existing political, ideological, or personal biases, rather than evidence. (NIH)
Cult Cognition
Cult cognition involves the psychological manipulation of thought processes, often exploiting cognitive dissonance and social conformity to create intense, unquestioning loyalty to a leader or group. By employing four types of control—behavior, information, thought, and emotion (BITE model), these groups break down individual critical thinking and create an "us vs. them" mentality. (Wikipedia)
A Quote
There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can't earn a billion dollars. You just can't earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they're worth. But you can't earn that.
