@just_another_person @corbin and it will inevitably turn into enshittified disaster when they start selling everyone's data (which is inevitable).

The „companion“ agents children in the 2020s and onward are growing up with and trust more than their parents will start advertising them pharmaceuticals when they‘re grown up :)

  1. they've already stolen everything
  2. other companies already focus on illegally using data for "AI" means, and they're better at it
  3. Everyone already figured out that LLMs aren't what they were promising "Assistant" features were 15 years ago
  4. None of these companies have any sort of profit model. There is no "AI" race to win, unless it's about who gets to fleece the public for their money faster.
  5. Tell me who exactly benefits when AGI is attainable (and for laymen it's not a real thing achievable with this tech at all), so who in the fuck are you expecting to benefit from this in the long run?
