    I don’t know what the plan is. Double our electric bills, take our water, take our jobs, and expect everyone to pay monthly for your crappy generative AI that most people never asked for?

      If the reward isn’t money, it is control. This technology can automatically flag any public dissent, every unwelcome transaction, and with Flock & Co even where you go and who you might meet (outside of the fuckton of telemetry cars come with nowadays, but it’s harder for 3-letter agencies to get their hands on that data)

      In the beginning, it was about money. They realized that this is probably not gonna happen since human labor is cheap. But for control, this stuff is epic. And in this use case, who the fuck cares about a hallucination or two? Being able to analyze the online presence of billions of people based on INTENT and not simply keywords is worth fucking gold for them.
