No, this was much needed and it didn’t feel like an old monster talking down to me, instead just someone who understands the frustration and chose to assure me that people are trying to help and that I’m not going crazy! That means a lot.

I feel even crazier because half the things I hope would happen in retaliation are dramatic and illegal - like robbing and burning down data centres. Look, as much as I am fascinated by the math and the technology behind what we call AI, its impact on humanity, on our environment, on our economy is enough to make me believe this world will be far better off without AI. But then I start to lose hope when I see the greed-incarnates that are hellbent on peddling AI into our lives, ruining it while singing falsehoods and painting us a wonderful fictional future that is as much a lie as is their technology. And the politicians that we have elected that are meant to look after us are turning a blind eye, so who can I even trust, you know?

So your assurance was really helpful!
