The smug "it's just another tool" takes are, without a doubt, the most offensively stupid ones.

Yes, ignore the huge amount of societal harm that is inflicted by a tool that lets any jackass instantly create a nearly perfect deepfake of any other person on the planet, right down to their voice and manner of speaking, and it is indeed "just a tool."  While we're at it, let's just give the average person access to thermonuclear bombs which are, of course, "basically just another weapon" and "only bad if someone blows them up ."

That’s a category error: the tool isn’t the harm, misuse is.

You can’t break it. Go full Quijote aka Quixote (who is who? LOL Never mind X )

 

Much of this sounds like corporate self-preservation dressed up as principle.

History has a name for that drift: corporatism. Well, something Europe flirted with in the 1930s ; ) It didn’t end well; Portugal even wore the label officially.

We’ve seen where it leads.

 

Who we claim to be is irrelevant; what we do is what makes us. We aren’t what we say we are. We’re defined by what our hands actually show. Or reveal. Identity is cheap. Deeds are the proof.

 

Fear’s a bitch.
