This is what sabor rattling and fear mongering gets you, people are too gullible and scared to vote in their actual best interests because they think those interests are to run to the party that'll protect them from an imaginary evil. Combine that with left-wing governments often being incompetent and giving in to their drama moving further and further to the right to try to win what they perceive as the popular vote instead of properly combating it and a complicit bias media + online shills in their thousands and this is the outcome.
It's actually really great.. if you know how to interpret and apply the information on it to your situation and adapt as needed. A good new user experience it does not make however.
It would be a great idea except it's incompatible with capitalism. It would take away a lot of jobs from less privileged people and society would do nothing to support them. These people could then be exploited even harder due to job scarcity.
Would be nice though if we could have nice things.
Because the elephant in the room is that AI isn't actually AI but is a huge database of internet and creative content combined with a language processing tool that takes its best guess at how to respond with that information to you.
The conservatives have really latched on this to do more saber rattling unfortunately in Australia. Reddit is an absolute write off trying to have any rational discussion about it too, the bots and shills are out in force. Just the suggestion that we don't know the facts has people PMing you accusing you of being a Chinese shill and all sorts of toxic crap.
Whilst those agencies and businesses do have fault because their DR plans were not adequate, they also likely had paid SLAs with Optus which Optus broke.
The state of IT in Australia is a bit of a joke to be honest and it largely comes down to businesses treating it like an expense that needs to be minimised rather than the cost of actually doing and maintaining business.
In the early days of Reddit it's motto was fake it until you make it. It was a ghost town so they set up an army of bots to generate content and fake activity. Not much has changed tbh.
Homie got rich and famous by making a chat bot that spits out the internet back at you while spewing out buzzwords like only the best Valley hustlers can.
Personally I'm more worried about the robodogs and terminators that the likes of Boston Labs are putting out.
You make some good points but yeah, if you licence something under a license that allows corporations to do this don't be surprised if they do.
I don't know if there's some license out there that allows free sharing of code with a limitation around using it in for-profit products and profit sharing for them and whether such a license would even work.
Never get your mental health advice from a "technology consultant" especially one that quotes things like the DSM-5 without the required knowledge on how to apply it.
The DSM moves at a glacial pace as does many academic publications as it takes an extremely conservative approach to declaring new disorders. Most of the time it tries to classify things like "gaming addiction" under the general addiction category rather than make a new separate category for a specific form of it. Being addicted to anything including gaming is still a form of addiction and the lack of a specific category for it in the DSM doesn't mean it magically doesn't exist.
Tldr: this technology consultant is clueless about stuff outside of his field. Just because it beeps and boops doesn't make him a mental health expert on the use of it.

I hope you don't go with your edit.
