And along with it, commercial mass surveillance, monetized addiction, and destruction of free societies. Oh, and their decision enabled the Rohingya genocide too.

> A society unable to tolerate deviance from the norm, is a society that will fail to adapt to inevitable changes to the norm

Excusing a harassment platform or non-consensual female rating site for university students as social tolerance is gross.

> And the norms are changing.

Oh sure. The tech billionaires' wet dream are coming true at the expense of everyone subject to their whims.

> The fact that this was the reaction to someone doing an experiment speaks poorly about the society it took place in

Calling these acts as mere "experiments" tells us what you think about the suffering of others.

> explains why there haven't been any major breakthroughs - in consumer tech, science or the arts – from within that country.

What an arrogant and ridiculous take, but sadly, I recognize this line of reasoning. You think there are legionnaires of the Antichrist busy at HN trying to halt technological progress!

> that hacker spirit

So let's screw over a bunch of kids for "rebellion," that's the "hacker spirit" now?

> I think there's a dark undercurrent in global culture, where people would rather live in a world where they're poor but able to control others as opposed to one where they're wealthy but unable to exert control over others.

Most people are watching the ultra‑wealthy get richer while losing control over their own lives.

This 1984-style rhetoric wrapped in emotional manipulation makes me sick.

Because MAGA ideology sees prosperity only through the lens of triumphantly screwing over others, they can't recognize mutual benefit as a victory. This shortsightedness will cost countless lives in the years ahead.

I’m betting on the latter. No Kitboga video mentions custom Android apps. What actually appears on almost all videos are online ads/spam or fake celebrity accounts messaging random people on Facebook.

It's funny how you aggressively push solutions that ignore the most common scam vectors investigators encounter. Could it be a coincidence that your proposal conveniently places every aspect of people’s lives at the mercy of big businesses? Or that the scam vector you downplay, ads and social media, just happens to be cash cows for some of the richest companies in history?

We already have plenty of paid lobbyists cheering the transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest. There's no need to do that dirty work for free. Weaponizing the elderly being scammed of their life savings while protecting those that benefit from it is beyond messed up.

There are also varieties of other languages to choose from. Using a bespoke XML-based language will inflict needless suffering upon people.

This is blatant editorializing of the title. Data corruptions aren't "hallucinations," and the linked post doesn't use that term either. The push to muddy the waters of every LLM deficiency has gone too far.

When they do anything to improve their reputation, it's damage control. Like, you know, deleting internal documents against court orders.
