AI is about to become a necessity for basically every industry. It’s to be expected that those on top are making sure they stay on top. I can’t even really fault them for it (although I do fault how greedily they go about it), but I also want government intervention to protect citizens from it. “It” being unethical/harmful business practices.
It’s really important to get news like this out, because backdoor cartel-style deals between big companies is basically accepted business practice now.
