Did anyone seriously believe in a different outcome?

True. Facts won't change their views, no matter how much research went into it.

And even if they somehow end up being in the same spot as the "test subjects", it's other people's fault - preferably easily identifiable targets like minorities. Zero empathy, massive ego.

First one I was thinking of even before my brain was acknowledging the orang utan.

I mean the ape... The one without the chihuahua carcass nailed to his scalp.

Time to dig out my old horrorpunk discs again.

This. The more popular it gets, the more people come, the more trolls and idiots are beneath them, the more toxic everything gets...

Advertisements and fake news will also skyrocket once the user bases are big enough to become adequate breeding grounds for them.

I think AIs are one of the most privacy invading things right after social media platforms.

Wish I had your sleep.

That's why I placed my alarm on the other side of the room. This way I have to get my lazy ass out of the bed to turn it off. And then I'm awake anyway.

Most people don't. Convenience is more important than privacy for most people, can't blame you.

I'm just a paranoid tech geek. So this is usually the first and strongest concern for me.

Don't forget about the privacy and copyright concerns. Scraping the internet for training data, copyrighted or not, and also logging every input for this purpose (and probably others).

A pretty significant con in my opinion.

Sure, it's not as convenient as just licensing something out of the box. But at least you won't get ripped off like this just because the one person in charge feels free to do whatever the fuck he or she wants.

The problem isn't Unity, or even its CEO. The problem is greed. The problem is; they can dictate whatever they want because everyone depends on them. Use FOSS already. You should have done it long before this happened.
