Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So we're just wasting the scarce drinkable water and energy resources that we still have on this dying planet to have companies 'hack' each other

But let's be real, this is just some propaganda to make Zuck's shitty attempt at AI look like an actually marketable product rather than an attempt to chase a hype that has all but died already.

It's probably a deliberate attempt to steal someone else's data and they're just blaming AI if they were caught. Once they have whatever info they wanted, it's too late to get it back.

Or both. Or all, in fact

Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if that was the case (it probably is)

I am not so sure. They use it certainly also for marketing, but these hacks are real I would say. It's practically the same in China, just the narratives are slightly different. But the AI hype and the intention to harm others is the same.
