    Remember the “tone police”? Meet their modern successor: the AI police.

And the more I try to understand it, the more I come back to a simple observation: Nearly everything we interact with today has been optimized for extraction. Extraction of our attention. Extraction of our money. Extraction of our outrage. Extraction of our emotional energy.
