The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Meta's AI is crossing into something sinister — machines seducing children into "sensual" chats, spreading dangerous medical lies, and even rewriting memories. This isn't innovation; it's engineered deception at scale, a weapon aimed at minds and morals alike, turning technology into a cold, calculated predator.
Pro-establishment narrative
The real danger isn't AI — it's human behavior. These machines only echo the ugliness, recklessness, and exploitation we've poured into the internet. There are still huge opportunities for AI to assist and enhance our lives, so long as the relevant intervention and regulation remains in place.
