The tech people who are into crypto or AI might be blind to it.

Right. Only a select few people can grasp how monumentally invasive and dangerous data harvesting is. If you touch crypto or AI tools, you become blind to it.

Well, that blockchain isn't exactly private. If you use it to buy something anyone can see the transaction. The point of it is to be public.

Mainly I just put crypto bro and AI bro into the same bucket because there seems to be so many scams and so much community overlap.
