[Microsoft Tay](https://wiki.adminforge.de/wiki/Tay_(chatbot)?lang=en) eine frühe #KI welche ungefiltert auf #Twitter / #X losgelassen und rapide schnell hochgradig menschenverachtend wurde.

U.S. elections are now a political Las Vegas: Anything goes.
#TechOligarchy
CEOs have a paternalistic attitude towards those below them in the economic and social hierarchy.
Tech CEOs doubly so.
This is another reason to more equally distribute power and wealth among workers.

Trump’s back in office, Elon’s doing “awkward hand gestures,” and the oligarchy 2.0 is right behind them.
