So I receive a post from someone presumably with some comment, along with a preview of a link, and I’m supposed to trust one but not the other ?

I’m only looking at what self-avowed liberals are doing. I’m not changing definition, only following observed reality.

That’s your interpretation that is as valid as any. Another interpretation is that “liberal”, especially from a US pov, maximizes individual liberty at the expense of collective welfare, defers quality of life to individuals rather than a responsibility of the group, and as such doesn’t really care about you if you’re not rich/famous/powerful. Liberalism also addresses grievances by blaming individuals and hiding them from public life, not doing much for the environment that made the problem happen in the first place.

still not answering the question

Who’s allowing big tech to use ai exactly ? Do you think anyone on the fediverse has any power over this ?
