Selling the disease along with the "cure".
What's scary is... they're shoehorning "AI" into everything, while also manipulating hardware prices and supply such that it's becoming increasingly harder for anyone to get their hands on home computing-- they're trying to make everyone depend on cloud computing through tools that allow them to surveil damn near everything we say and do, while poisoning the wells of information and claiming to be our rescuers if we only swallow the shit being spewed by the mindless digital oracles running on algorithms they can warp any way they like.
This shit was never supposed to make money or be useful in any direct way. It's a fascist's panopticon torment nexus wet dream.
