How did we get here? How is this not wall to wall on the news? Why isn’t the religious right more upset about this? Why isn’t Mark already in front of Congress? This is bananas.

But what changed from Facebook to this AI thing?

Is Twitter diferent?

> In response to Reuters’ reporting, a Meta spokesperson said this document doesn't reflect Meta's actual policy and that the document has since been revised. Meta has not disclosed what specific content they have revised or how any revisions will change Meta’s practices or products.

It doesn’t represent the policy but it was revised?

facebook needs to fail, but users are hooked. they simply don't know of alternatives.

I know I know, it's obvious.

What am I doing about it? Constructing an alternative for a local .org that I volunteer with. Trying to tell them that we can control what's on the screen. Make it a more appealing and useful alternative. Once complete, I'll be able to do it for others.

Screw the invasive and manipulative AIs. The blackmail potential is so enormous. How many kids will be haunted for the rest of their lives by their online interactions with Zuck's AI bots? When will they get hacked? Are foreign adversaries already lurking inside there somewhere?
