  1. #mediaproducers present us with information about #ourworld. An #objectiveview is an #ideal only. #Objectivity exists as an #aspiration. #Facts themselves might be objectively true, their #presentation never is. #context matters. It would be nice to have a tool that presents all this #content in a manner that helps us categorise & consume less nudgingly. Only #FOSS can deliver here. Be prepared for #manipulative #agents, as #AI is a #tool of #opression primarily. #ads is #legal #humanhacking

  2. #Gaslighting creates unnecessary additional #traumas. It is #abusive & #manipulative.
    I have always struggled with forgiveness towards gaslighters. It's literally #crazymaking & it's harmful to our souls. It makes you question yourself, your realities & it dissolves trust.

    “AI companions' #manipulative design exploits #adolescents' developing #brains, posing a high risk for emotional #dependence.”
