I'm starting to wonder if this isn't deliberate in some sense. People actually learning about and supporting Palestine terrified the American establishment, if they're anti-imperialist, they're anti-US. So flooding the internet with completely and utterly wrong information, making it impossible for people to sift through it all and discover what is actually happening works as a kind of information blackout, without them needing to loudly censor everything and pretend they still have "free speech."
I too like to believe our overlords know what they are doing. Turns out capitalists are actually dumb and don't realize their profit-increasing measures are hurting themselves too until its too late. Selling themselves the rope
Yeah, as much as I'd like to think this is actually planned, far more likely some higher ups who need their assistant's help to check their email were wowed by a slick presentation about how AI is the future and saw how much money they could save automating things with AI without actually checking if it actually works or not.
I've seen this sort of grift "imagine how powerful this could be in the future" FOMO thing a lot before, but this is the first time I think I've seen so many major companies go all in on a technology that isn't proven and only has vague future benefits, not even offering basic competency at the moment. AI might end up being another massive .com bubble of the late 90s/early 2000s, people putting their whole business in the hands of technology that has yet to be proven and losing everything.
