At least some people in Meta did suggest what they were doing was wrong, only to overuled by those higher up the chain

Woah! That’s bananas and also… tacky? Just weird and gross and odd.

It's the #AIHoles.
There really is no moral compass, no ethics, nothing that they aren't willing to do.

What's utterly disgusting,
is they get away with it.

What would have happened 3 years ago,
if any of "us" had stolen content, breached copyright, sniffed from private machines etc.
?

Well, they did similar things, remember the video data? When scrolling past they would count a full view. 🥜's compared to this but a sign their ethical 🧭 was already way off.

If it was just one ... it wouldn't be an issue.
But they're all like it.

Meta, Google, Bing, OpenAI, PerplexityAI, Anthropic ...
... they all seem intent on stealing, lying etc.

Worse, they all whinge and whine when one of them does it to another!

Exactly....the WWW has truly become the Wild WIld West.
