    Why have we made robots whose only job is to dilute reality?

    Repeating for emphasis. I’d like to know the answer too.

      Tin foil hat on

      Because our society is moving more towards a post-truth reality. Ffs, the then vice president candidate stood in front of a grocery shelf to talk about how egg prices were $4, when the label behind him clearly says “$2.99”

      Companies aren’t here to make life better. They are here to make money.

      Every few months they would say, “Ugh the global supply chain is tightening” to prepare to raise prices.

      All the while on their earnings calls they talk about how much profit they made in the last quarter.
