I think the fact that these things fry people’s brains, drive people to suicide, are being marketed as a replacement for people’s jobs, literally cannot make money no matter how many people use them, and will only try to wring more money out of an increasingly poor populace might drive some backlash

Tech companies: AI is the future! You must embrace it or risk being left behind!

Also tech companies: Our AI products suck so much that we must actively bully our customers into using them.

I know it's a different industry entirely and I had to be tortured by getting a PhD... but my professor position only took an online interview and a site visit with some research / teaching talks. Also how much money are companies wasting to "vet" potential employees?!
