What is wild about all this is looking back to the old social contract and how it basically made this ~~fobitted~~ forbidden.
The best example is the movie minority report in which they had a fool proof way to 100% of the time predict the future.
I won’t spoil the movie, but the whole premise was that even if there was one instance of it making a mistake, and a innocent person was put on ice by mistake, then the whole thing had to be shut down.
And in today’s reality: all of big tech’s new tools make mistakes constantly, sometimes more than getting things right, and it’s still full steam ahead on the rollout.

kill the fuckers in charge or you're rolling the ~~dice~~ chamber every day.
