The jury found tech firms treated addictiveness as a feature, not a bug

No shit, Sherlock! 😮

I don’t think enough developers realize that the majority of users does not want this. They’re acting exactly like the legislators: “we don’t give a shit about what the people think”.

The legislators won’t take the Linux community seriously, because the developers aren’t taking the community seriously either.

The lack of consequences has been a problem for quite a while now, from before LLMs. In my opinion it’s been caused by a widespread increase in professional incompetence, together with a mutually protective network of incompetent people. “I won’t point out that you’re incompetent and won’t blame you for your mistakes, if you do me the same favour”.

They call it “imposter syndrome”, but it isn’t a syndrome: it’s a symptom.
