Wow there is a lot packed into this comment, which I mostly agree with.

Dumb collectible "ownership" fetishism
Delusion epidemic due to AI addiction
Decades-long Climate adaptation setback
Devastating labor practices
Cult doomsday syndrome reinforcing false beliefs
Vaccine skepticism popularity and health outcomes

I am still baffled by how you managed to stuff the entirety of endstage capitalism dystopia into two short sentences. No wonder the word "fatigue" is featured in the username!

But I came here to point out that the last part is possible occurence of cognitive dissonance. When they have fucked up so badly, by commiting to such big evils, and especially sacrificing their kids health, yeah, there is no way back... Cognitive dissonance makes it impossible to admit the harm, so they are bound to reinforce the beliefs or face tremendous levels of guilt.

Well, many people are not aware of the link between their ChatGPT projects and the rise in their electricity bill, nor the foreshadowed electricity drought. Contrary to what corpos had people believe about their "individual responsibility via recycling" their individual contribution to these outcomes is now actively suppressed by the billionaire-owned media. Curious.
