Folks, we have been conned. Isn’t that what it’s called when you’ve been led to believe something that turns out to not be true: a “con” job?
I believe we have been conned into believing the internet can be trusted. I am often dismayed at how we as a society, and indeed the entire world, have been conned into basing our entire lives, economies and well-being on such horribly flawed technologies like computers, the internet, and now, artificial intelligence.
