Ladies and gentlemen. We are at a crossroads as a society. Carl Sagan once said "*We've arranged a society on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces, I mean, who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?*”

Technology companies in a very sneaky way become part of our lives. There was a time in which you had the option to opt out of a technology service. Now, as technology permeates our world, technology companies in an effort to valuate their stock or their potential IPOs, they pursue this inter-company deals.

Whether it's OpenAI with Murdoch and co. Or Google, or Microsoft. Little by little they work to make our world more and more dependent on them. But this process is not direct. They will work tirelessly with every other company on the planet to enslave us and make us use their technology.

Often, it will be said that it is benign, that it "*will make our lives easier and better*". But the reality is that, this will not be the case. The reality is that these companies are not driven by an altruistic goal. Believe me when I tell you, these companies will design their platforms with only one goal: engagement.

Just like ratings of a TV show, their only goal is to attract more and more users. Users that will provide now more than ever, in a very intimate way all the details of their life. Technology companies have become the Professor X of our times. They are connected to us and we are connected to them, through their innovative ways that dazzle us. As their algorithms help us release more and more dopamine, with every like, with every comment, we become providers of data, depicting in every comment, every picture, every video, relevant information that they use to turn us into algorithm junkies.

As junkies, we, and by we I mean society. We are helpeless. There is no rehab center for us. Technically, we should be protected by our elected officials. But as explained in [this](https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-government) article, regulation appears to be slow and ignorance about the repercussions of AI is rampant.

OpenAi's decision to choose one of the best well-known anti-regulatory media is definitely premeditated because it is convenient. Imagine ChatGPT parroting articles that seek to align us with ideas that are for the benefit of OpenAi and their future shareholders. It stands to reason that we will be swayed into thinking that regulation and even accountability will somehow "hinder" innovation.

My hope is that as this strategic business mistakes are noticed by those that like me are skeptical of AI, just as we should have been of social media. It is my hope that our elected representatives we raise to the ocassion and say NO. We must protect the average citizen by passing laws that rein in artificial intelligence training models. We must find a way to further protect ourselves from this artificial codependency that is being created to enslave us. To make us think that we need them as they continue embedding not only in our lives, but in our very own psyche, changing the way we think, the way we view the world.

Imagine Morpheus telling Neo "The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this." \[holding a chip labeled RLHF\]"
