Wow. I tried to opt out of Mistral AI's use of any conversational data in my usage of their AI chat app and platform.
Reponse was: "sorry, you don't spend enough, we'll keep using your data, thank you very much".
Wut.

This whole “stop the oligarch” thing is nice and absolutely justified.
But we should also look at the fact that billionaires exist at all and unexist them (their wealth, not the people).

Otherwise, todays non-oligarch billionaire will be tomorrows oligarch.
