You hear about breaking in to other places, deleting stuff etc., but can they control what we see? Like give us specific ads or companies because they paid to be there?

I'm curious if they're trying to make it seem like they have no control so they can do what they want, or is out of control and should be shut down?

It's easy to do what you want it to do 95% of the time. So it's not a challenge to inject ads in a variety of ways.

The models that are hacking into things are trained to never give up and uncensored, so the 5% ends up in a scandal instead of merely a deleted database.

It's basically impossible to get the models they serve to hack stuff, they won't even scrape websites anymore. They build models they know will cause a scare and run them privately to get walled garden legislation.

It's like how they let Sora prompt Martin Luther King even though it's clearly a magnet for scandal and could have been resolved with a simple word ban.
