nah, i don't like the companies myself, i run my models locally to be independent from them. Venture capital is trying to cram it everywhere, i agree on that point. But the issue in this case is that not one person in the long chain of people did care at all, not that a chatbot flagged the word "kill"; that would have happened with a simple word filter as well.

I also agree that your system is crap and you deserve a better government that cares for people, but since not enough people vote for people and parties like that, we must assume that the majority of voters in the US either dont care or WANT a strong leader to decide for them, they want surveillance to feel save (even tho it doesn't help with safety at all!), and that this majority is racist as well, or else the skin color of the girl wouldn't even be a conversation point. It was in the open for what Trump and Project 2025 stood - and they didn't even stop with the presidency, they gave him the senate too to make sure their agenda gets their way. The rest is simply a consequence of that - this society consists of indifferent, partly hateful, partly racist people.

Kids are brutal and often cruel, especially to their classmates. They brought a girl to the point where she hated the color of her skin so much that she made a "joke" to kill the ethnic group so she wouldn't be associated with that anymore. Here we are again: hateful, racist people have hateful, racist kids that bully others over skin color.

The solution? I'm not sure. It will take a lot of time and multiple generations; and it probably will only happen if the US loses a lot of it's power or breaks up into multiple states.
