      I mean, I’m no fan of these companies and their data collection either which also likely led to Trump being in power for 4 years.

      At the same time, I’m not a fan of the AI companies taking all this data either. They’re not doing good for good either. They’re money hungry monsters too.

      Oh they’ll multiply like spiders.

      The internet behaves like an organic ecosystem with countless arms races between crypsis and detection, pursuit and evasion, encryption and crack.

      And the beautiful thing is we get the technology as it leaks so shortly after Amazon protects its data from the scrapers, we protect our data from Amazon.
