14. It is why I share them

I am alarmed to see how even the people who get the danger to human society ascribe it to amazing tech rather than a coup by this one field that is being inadequately called out.

Many actually intelligent people get that it is a scam:

This is not how honest scientists behave. Even complicated science can be easily explained to the average lay person. This Ai along with associated tech scams are reminiscent of Theranos.
If nothing else they will in true Sarah Silverman style shill a product to fix the nuisance of their unwanted pseudo products.

Holmes was foolish in having too easily debunked a product. You want some hazier area of science and medicine you can bullshit in more and that is what these guys shill and it is all they have.
