Comment on Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer
WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 8 months agoThis saying is actually horseshit, though. The profit motive and infinite growth model of capitalism guarantees that even if you are paying for a product, your data and attention — everything that can be — will be monetized eventually.
The saying should be “if the service isn’t open-source and E2E encrypted, you’re the product”

Nah I’d disagree. Infinite growth motive doesn’t necessarily apply to private companies. To suggest there’s unbridled greed present in every company is just a falsehood.
