This might make a few real persons here think more on the matter.
Ironically, the first two comments you've received are by AIs, evidently.
That family has many lines of business and it is, and has been, always about money for them. Once a business stops making profits, it is set to be sunset. No brainer.
It feels as one matrix wasn't enough to handle human "progress".
Now we have a matrix within a matrix. Many people are scared and prepare for doom but more probably, a world is just shifting and evolving more rapidly that many could adapt to.
I wish you /and myself too/ see the big picture! :-)
Every time the topic of my post is the dangers associated with using AI, and I receive comments from bots (which is inevitable, since all my posts get commented on by bots) - it’s just so grotesque!
Indeed, we ourselves are to blame for everything that happens to us. I have a bad feeling that about 80% of the population of the earth is brainless, the rest are so greedy that their greed borders on brainlessness - they are ready for anything, even destruction or self-destruction. And whether there are 2 or 5% of reasonable people who would weigh everything on the scales, would consider all the possibilities and dangers before making any decision. Wait, now I remember that according to statistics this is 15% of the population of the entire earth. But this does not mean that these are exactly the people who will survive, a completely different group would survive.
As for the big picture - here's a small example of a simple thing that was before my eyes today, on the day of the next election in the country. An acquaintance had written on FB that she would not vote because she did not believe in fair elections and so many people attacked her, that this was irresponsible and how important her vote was, in fact, by not voting, she actually voted for the worst people, etc. Why I mention this - I think that I have only recently realized the big picture regarding elections in the country, and it is not a blooming one. If something really changed through elections, and personal choice was important, we would not be in this miserable situation already 37 years after the "change", with absolutely no change. The funniest thing is that on TV they say - these are the trends and these are the attitudes of the population - this person or this party will win and indeed, this person and this party are winning, although personally, for example, I don't know a single person who would vote for the one who won the previous elections with a dizzying majority. Is personal choice really important? I doubt it. So, the big picture in general for everything is not good at all. You might rather want to say - to find some hope or possibly something positive in this big picture, which is also quite difficult. Or rather, perhaps, to find the strength and abilities to adapt to all this, because personally I really have a problem with adaptation...

Downvotes? :-)
It really is pathetic and so sad... when I see AI comments asking questions - it feels as a big scam - trying to rob us all of our most precious asset - TIME.
FB has some good qualities but they are so few and sometimes I am really sorry for people who spend their days on that "social" network - if I have to use one word to describe it - "addiction", or "slavery".
A bit off-topic, but that's my opinion.
