Yeah. It’s a ham handed attempt to gently deflate the bubble instead of letting it pop at some random point in the future. Which, on the one hand, fuck those guys, but on the other hand, at this point, gentle bubble deflation is probably the best possible outcome for everyone.

Also the “it will kill us all” kinda sounds like a drunk at a bar claiming that their hands are registered as lethal weapons. Are nuclear weapons systems somehow internet accessible? Are labs gonna let AI systems control biological research, drone building or nanobot production without human oversite? I guess it could happen but only after some monumentally irresponsible lapses by the people entrusted to safeguard critical systems. Shit. Are we totally fucked?

There is a merit to not causing economic collapse, but, honestly being smarter about marketing would've solved the issues they are facing. Instead of the stupid thing they are currently doing. Solidifying the absolute distrust and disdain in a product that was overpromised, overhyped...By very irresponsible people, who fucked so much trust, broke a lot of systems. Just to create what amounts to trash (a surveillance capitalism economy).

I think we have always been a bit fucked, given the recent rash of breaches and countless consumer data leaks...It's all coming apart gradually because all of these companies have faced ZERO accountability.
