Google has announced publicly that they do this, several times.

I suspect that OpenAI is on a path to spend as much money on data centers and hardware as possible so they can go bankrupt and sell those assets to Microsoft for pennies on the dollar.

It's a scheme to filter billions and billions of dollars around the "AI everything" hype train directly into Microsoft's coffers.

Regardless of their nationality, billionaires largely pursue the same interests in order to strengthen their position of power in the political system in which they are most involved.

This is, of course, a conspiracy theory, but the Epstein files, for example, certainly suggest this - as does the fact that billionaires' companies are all multinational and that it is almost impossible to trace where the incredible amounts of capital in the international economic system actually come from (such as the massive concentrations of capital managed by asset managers like Black Rock).

In short: I suspect that the biggest problem facing people worldwide lies in the power of the respective so-called elites, and I think that they coordinate among themselves in order to remain in power or to expand it further.

This is how I explain the resurgence of Nazi ideology, which is actively promoted by billionaires in very different countries.

That most people are much dumber than they initially appear to be. "Average intelligence" isn't enough to form a basic understanding of the world.

Facebook's mobile website takes way too long to load to encourage you to download the app. Only ever use it for marketplace and the occasional link my friends/coworkers send. I recieved a link on teams and my phone took over 20 seconds to load while my work computer did it instantly and both were on the same wifi. Sometimes it will just refuse to open posts on marketplace, so I have to use my computer.

Sometimes I get the thought that I died years ago and this is really just Hell.

the right medication would fix me

Epstein is alive

Reddit's epidemic of lifetime bans is based on politics. They're unofficially moving to the right.

Youtube definitely hinders the experience if you have adblockers. I've had a page load instantly and the video start to buffer immediately, only to refresh on its own a fraction of a second later, load the page slowly, and then wait about 10 seconds before any buffering would happen. If adblockers are disabled, the page loads instantly and the video buffers immediately.

I also regularly get the little popup in the corner saying "Experiencing interruptions?" but shockingly only if the adblocker is enabled. Weird.

The US/Israel, China, and Russia are collaborating to divide the entire world between them

That anxiety and depression are just symptoms of deep problems, and not in and of themselves psychological conditions. It's cheaper and less work to just throw meds at the symptoms then it is to do the work to find why people are struggling with the anxiety and depression.

Many of the deeper issue causing them are from how are society works, and can't be changed or fixed easily, but I don't know, maybe if everyone realized that our society is hurting us this badly we could do something about it. But no, "here take these meds that will numb the pain and every emotion you have, now be a good little worker drone and get back to grind. It's not the society that's the issue, it just you... And everyone else that we are also giving these meds too."

I myself recently realized that the anxiety and depression I suffered from as a teen was caused by childhood trauma, being undiagnosed neurodigergent, and being Queer. All things society at large tries to ignore or out right hate. Any none of the mental health professionals tried to look into why I was struggling, they just gave me meds and sent me on my way.

That being said, if the meds are the only thing keeping you from ending it all, do what you got to do. Meds are a tool and tools should be used if they are helpful.

The reason Jeffery Epstein eventually hated Trump was because Trump started to invade on his business as well in addition to being a cheap crook in expensive looking clothes.

Malicious coding by Facebook and google if you dont use their apps. I know they're doing it but I can't prove it.

Or websites purposely loading slowly or not at all if you have Linux installed. I could see that happening.

Elon musk is only known as the richest person. He chooses to pay taxes and not hide his wealth simply because he wants to be seen as the richest person. There are far richer people in the world that we simply don’t know about because they hide their wealth and don’t brag online.

That nobody actually thought kids hiding under the desks would protect them from bombs. It was all a lie to try and reassure people

Text prediction on iOS is so terrible because they’re using people to train ai

that's not a conspiracy theory, adblock devs are aware of this and I think it was even discussed at the yt-dlp project as they are affected too.

blue butterfly zones are so ICE agents can rape teenager, with Trump's blessings.

That cats sense something we can't. Think of it this way, if we didn't have ears, we wouldn't know there's such thing as sound. Maybe there is some sort of thing that exists that humans lack the organs to percieve but cats can

Google is munging results it sends to DDG and other filtering search engines

I strongly suspect that Musk has found some near infinite money fugazzi, likely leveraging AI with crypto, while plundering Government coffers.

The AI bubble is actually a cover used by cloud providers to engage in racketeering. I assume that it is encouraged by the alphabet agencies to setup a network that aggregates advertiser data to match up browser fingerprints and spy on Americans in mass without warrants. The ram shortage was engineered to force adoption for the cloud primarily for small business and sectors that have avoided it due to cost. Retail is a casualty and gaming is next. They don't care about AI, its just the wrench that tightens the bolt

youtube kinda made it known, but not officially. GOOGLES involvement with REDDIT is deeper than just search results. they are using thier AI for moderation and other services. hence thier sudden jump in the ability to massive amount of users at once. before people go shake off the bans by using accounts that they aged and not interact with subreddits they were banned in.

DNC/GOP complicit in epstein coverup, either through doing nothing or trying to hide it. DNc had access to files for a while, but they are extremely quiet on it because they some of thier members in the files, plus likely some israeli leaders that have been to islands too. outside of maybe 5ish congressmembers, the rest want the news to stop talking about it. they throw a bone here and there once in a while to prevent any inparty fighting.

also with the election in 2024, of dnc dont want to be accused of"rigging it, but they also dont want to do anything about it too.
