Grokipedia is the goal of all AI companies—they want to centralize the Internet so we are fully reliant on one source of information.

Then, at the click of a button, they can change our entire shared reality. They’re vying for our attention—if they capture all of it, they enslave us.

Don’t use AI.

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
