I’ll go a step further. Do you have any idea how wet Trump would get about invading Europe?

Strategically, this was probably the right move. At that point, the results were in. We can’t change what happened, only where we go from here. Kissing his ass is a case of Tragedy of the Commons.

That’s… Not how this works.

The powers that be only look at a few charts, and a few data points on each.

The big one is sales over time, possibly broken down to gross vs net revenue (i.e. profit)

The next will be the amount that customers use AI. Could be a binary “interacted at all”, measured in interactions, or by time.

The final MIGHT be % of interactions that led to a sale.

The ONLY way to fight AI (or anything else that corporations do that you object to) is to stop or reduce buying from places that use it.
