I think the focus should be on not having so many white privileged people in the real world

Why should you focus on tearing others down, especially when you’re simply looking at them as a statistic rather than individuals?


If it can be done, people will do it. If you think the FBI are unique in this, you’re very naive. We need to fundamentally rethink how our technology is designed if we ever hope to have any privacy again.


Well they don’t care about problems until they affect their own families, so there’s that at least.


Frankly, with open access to the entire world, there are a very large number of completely real conspiracies which you are connected too, through intelligence agencies, mafias and terrorist organizations. Failure to recognize this fact is a big problem with the way the Internet has been designed.


Bluntly, even before AI there was an ever present threat that anything you encountered online was written by someone with ulterior motives. Maybe AI is just making it easier for people to digest because they don’t want to distrust people. The solution that I see is to always be aware of what other reasons any particular media could be serving, and to maintain a clear picture in your own mind of what’s important to you, so no matter who wrote something for what reason, you won’t be personally misled.

That’s not the extent of what they do. They absolutely push harmful ideas that people can act upon as well.


Any move in the right direction is good, even if it doesn’t prove to be enough on it’s own.
