<p>Simple answer is power, look at how things have changed since Musk bought the largest communication platform on the planet. Look at who's backing him and what they want.<p>The UK's stance goes right against the values and goals these billionaires want and that's basically to do whatever they want without recourse. What better way to sow diversion than to stoke civil unrest and cause change to the systems that stand in their way.</p>

<p>Yeah the case is quite terrifying.<p>It reminds me of an episode of Star Trek TNG, if memory serves correct there were loads of episodes about a crew member falling for a hologram dec character.<p>Given that there’s a loneliness epidemic I believe tech like this could have a wide impact on peoples mental health.<p>I stronger believe AI should be devoid of any personality and strictly return data/information then frame its responses as if you’re speaking to another human.</p>

<p>I learnt a long time ago that there is no such thing as loyalty with regards to work and that if you want to get the most compensation for what you do you need keep moving until you find the place where you happy with the compensation and equally the culture.<p>However things will change, either at home or at work so you need to balance those out.<p>When I started out I had this misplaced sense of loyalty to my first job I liked and it really held me back, they paid really low wages but for some reason I felt lucky to work there.<p>I changed my mindset and realised I’m selling my time to them so I might as well get the best return on my time in both compensation and enjoyment.<p>The bottom line is you don’t have to except poor pay, bad culture and boring work. You’re in control of your life.<p>EDIT<p>Also don’t be scared to ask for a pay rise or bonus. I make a point of doing it at each review and I check its progress in most one to ones. At the end of the day its your responsibility to get paid, you’re employer not matter how good they are us always going to try and save on opex, do you need to take ownership and make sure you’re getting paid what makes you happy.</p>
