I have a similar outlook atm as one of "those guys."

Everything takes so long, nobody is held accountable. The most likely result of pushing for any type of positive outcome for basically anything is some form of punishment or social degradation.

And so, as of October 2024, I don't do it anymore.

I will also note that most of the things I see "being corrected" these days are entirely fictitious.

As an example is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in Canada. They tossed out a valid complaint about Shaw (during Rogers buyout) for jurisdictional reasons. Then they are on the news making odd statements about (exclusively) OpenAI not being honest about using your data?

It's all a show it seems. I figured it needs to get a qhole lot worse before it can get any better.

I have moved to internal tooling creation and have airgapped a machine/tool each month this year so far. Just a laptop and my social phone remain networked.
