I am sorry, I didn’t understand your comprehension of the situation is this bad. The public didn’t know, the corporations did in regards to forever chemicals. The corporations covered it up and they are now fighting it numerous lawsuits in the courts. Please do try to catch up.

Next up global warming. Did you know the petroleum scientists back in the 50s knew global warming was a real? The corporations then paid for the research to prove it. They covered this up and paid heavily into anti-climate change propaganda. This is why there is a climate change debate when it was already proven true by the companies doing the fucking polluting.

But please tell me I am soooo ignorant. What a joke.
You want to blame the individual which is literally propaganda paid for by corporations to absolve them of their crimes. Acting like a bootlicking little bitch isn’t as cool as you think it is.
You think pointing out that AI sucks is part of some giant fucking conspiracy!? What in the literal fuck are you on. Objectively there are a lot of things to not like about what corporations are doing with AI.

You talk about plastics recycling, then link stuff about PFAS. You’re so confused you hurt yourself.

Again, while you’re right that the industry tried to hide it and use PR to obscure it. The fact that plastics weren’t being recycled wasn’t hidden information, it was publicly visible to anyone who read up on it. This is an education and propaganda issue.
2009 Study saying the same thing. royalsocietypublishing.org/…/Plastics-recycling-c…
2001 OECD Guidance that also identified that a lot of stuff didn’t get recycled, including plastics. www.oecd.org/content/dam/…/9789264189867-en.pdf
Which itself refences studies done in the 90s and 80s about this same topic.
1993 one.oecd.org/document/OCDE/GD(93)194/en/pdf Table 1 in that document shows that less than 5% of plastics are being recycled.
However, you’ve sidetracked the conversation. The plastics industry DID lie, as have many other industries before it (Tobacco, Pesticides, Meat production, etc) however, I don’t see how that immediately makes AI bad. If every industry is bad, then why are we going after such a small industry instead of the existing giant ones?
