I have a similar outlook atm as one of "those guys."

Everything takes so long, nobody is held accountable. The most likely result of pushing for any type of positive outcome for basically anything is some form of punishment or social degradation.

And so, as of October 2024, I don't do it anymore.

I will also note that most of the things I see "being corrected" these days are entirely fictitious.

As an example is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in Canada. They tossed out a valid complaint about Shaw (during Rogers buyout) for jurisdictional reasons. Then they are on the news making odd statements about (exclusively) OpenAI not being honest about using your data?

It's all a show it seems. I figured it needs to get a qhole lot worse before it can get any better.

I have moved to internal tooling creation and have airgapped a machine/tool each month this year so far. Just a laptop and my social phone remain networked.

I feel you. I wish the world was a better place, but here we are. I don't know what else to say about it. I feel you.

		There are times where working on the inside to make changes is a valid strategy, but it is definitely trending down, especially if there's just a single voice. The only other option is the public shaming route, but they've pretty much gotten to the point of being able to survive that as well now. It takes significant numbers to move the needle, but there have been recent examples of companies reacting to negative press.
