Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez just declared war on the open internet. Under the guise of "safety" and "accountability," his government is launching a full-scale assault on free speech, specifically targeting platforms that refuse to bend the knee to state-approved narratives.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2z6bv23r3hst4h3ykl2h3okg/bafkreia5xvf2rgfpz4c4ylwudj3v3elefxrkcebmi4427xk72i4wtqvxye)

![[Screenshot] The inaccuracies incited by anthropomorphic descriptions are likely to have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations. A 2025 article shows a negative correlation between people’s “AI” literacy and their “AI” receptivity; the more people know about how “AI” works, the less likely they are to want to use it: “people with lower AI literacy are more likely to perceive AI as magical and experience feelings of awe in the face of AI’s execution of tasks that seem to require uniquely human attributes.” Somewhat absurdly, the authors use this finding as an argument against educating the public about “AI”, as this would consequently reduce their adaptivity. We believe that language is a device to increase people’s “AI” literacy, helping them make informed choices about technology acceptance.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2z6bv23r3hst4h3ykl2h3okg/bafkreiejvlboknbo5spyimbmppqowc3apm64n5v2rqaavgc3a3hyueirru)
![[Screenshot] Anthropomorphizing language influences how people perceive a system on multiple levels. It over-sells a system which is likely to under-deliver, and portrays a world view in which the people responsible for developing the systems are not held accountable for the system’s inaccurate, inappropriate, and sometimes deadly output. It promotes misplaced trust, over-reliance, and dehumanization.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2z6bv23r3hst4h3ykl2h3okg/bafkreieh2atpaqzfhyhxpan7ot2dniptlx3h5y7jf6x4hnvq3azgl26ewe)
![All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails. They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor.
They're forcing it on us because if we don't use it, if we don't subscribe to it, buy products through it, or click on ads through it - the debt structure will inevitably implode. It will wipe out billions in unpaid loans. And as usual, the banks will be bailed out, and the tax payer will have to foot the bill. Higher costs, decreased employment opportunities, higher interest rates, and likely another round of sticky inflation. But hey, I'm sure all the big players will have cashed out their stocks way before any of that happens.
