Thinking out loud here, but wouldn't we want to make addictive products either illegal or heavily regulated? https://www.404media.co/microsoft-wants-to-make-people-addicted-to-scout-its-new-ai-assistant-internal-documents-reveal/
Hell, our govenment could tax the shit out of these companies and firstly, it wouldn't touch the sides, but might move the dial towards ethic products?

@rem Good luck with that. The only remaining Windows PC in our house is so slow since they Enshitified it with AI that is likely to get Linuxed if they make it any worse. I only use it to update TomTom and that can't currently tell me the time. I'll go back to Real Maps. I like maps.
