This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
God this shit is sad, I can't believe anyone involved (besides the few making all the money) are remotely proud to have worked on this. I get that its a trope to not accept new technology/trends but ai always makes me put on a face of disgust without trying.
Usually the people working on this are too afraid of their financial standing to care about what they're actually working on.
I don't want to say they "need" the money, because odds are they can do with less. They are likely on the consumer bandwagon without even realizing it and want to make as much money as possible so they can spend as much money as possible.
The means are irrelevant.
