Interesting piece, enough so that I also read your original essay. This abridged version captures the gist of the topic well. I do hope this quote from the original will be included and expanded upon in the coming essays.

“The future doesn’t belong to machines. It belongs to those who refuse to be programmed by them—those who resist illusion with clarity, who answer coercion with reason, and who force the system to face its own contradictions.”

That posits a future in which enough people become aware of your findings to take action. I would suggest that there is a status quo that cannot be ignored.

At present, the future belongs to the people who own the machines. Your work proves that point in vivid detail. So is the battle for control with the product or the producer? I think the latter would prefer it be the former, thereby defining the theater. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

In the appendix of the original article I was surprised to see Grok’s responses as biased as the others. Hard to square that with Musk’s public statements. Is he gaslighting us too?
