Most people don't know, aren't paying attention, and don't understand. It's our thankless task to try to educate and convince our less savvy friends.

Sadly, in my experience, it's useless. They usually think you're the weird one. Especially nowadays in the "AI" era. Whenever I talk negatively about it I get weird looks. People love their corpo slop.

We are the weird ones. But the only thing that changes people mind is in-group pressure. If people trust you, they'll at least humor you. Plant those seeds.
