"One of the craziest bits about covering the systematic dismantling of democracy is this: the people doing the dismantling frequently tell you exactly what they’re going to do. They’re almost proud of it. They just wrap it in language that makes it sound like the opposite."

"When you've spent years watching how some tech bros break the rules in pursuit of personal and economic power at the expense of safety and user protections, all while wrapping themselves in the flag of 'innovation,' you get pretty good at spotting the pattern."

If it isn't already out there, I'm sure it won't be long before Meta rolls out an AI bot that "represents" one of these identities, while still leaving actual *authentic* users out in the cold. Meanwhile, users on the platform will keep losing touch with actual people and the world around them.
