What relationship do you wish to cultivate?

In order to detach your contribution from their behavior, or in order to attach your contribution to their behavior?

My coarse understanding is that decades ago the gratuity was originally before service, so that one could establish the quality of service they were requesting.

This can be achieved by what you intend and practice.

Thank you.

Consider staying focused.

Technology is an instrument.

The artificial intelligence is the corporate and/or institutional entity, and it has been for decades if not for millennia.

"“Infobesity” creatively describes “the function of consuming, without intentional control, a vast array of ultra-processed, commercially produced, and marginally nutritious information. Unchecked, our brains still digest it all using ‘stacked’ biases which are cognitively ‘smoothed over’ so we don’t see the immediate effect.” - Polymathic Being

We operate through biases - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Cognitive_bias_codex_en.svg

It’s part of our Operational System, and we are not trained to use these biases correctly, conducively, or in a healthy way. They are algorithm; a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. They can be understood, designed and engineered.

Lacking informed judgment, informed consent, informed participation; lacking accuracy of what responsibly and accountably would be facts, and understanding of healthy effective prioritization and natural and logical consequences…and experiencing candid learning disorders… does lead to dysfunction, don’t you think?

Are we clear as we examine this occurrence that there are a series of steps which must be chosen, and a series of interdependent cogent actions which must be taken, in order to accomplish a multi-step task and produce objectives, interventions and goal achievement, even once?

While I am confident that there are abyssaly serious issues with Google and Alphabet; with their incorporated architecture and function, with their relationships, with their awareness, lack of awareness, ability to function, and inability to function aligned with healthy human considerations, ‘they’ are an entity, and a lifeless, perhaps zombie-like and/or ‘undead’ conclave/hive phenomenon created by human co-operation in teams to produce these natural and logical consequences by prioritization, resource delegation and lack of informed sound judgment.

Without actual, direct accountability, responsibility, conscience, morals, ethics, empathy, lived experience, comprehension; without uninsulated, direct, unbuffered accessibility, communication, openness and transparency, are ‘they’ not actually the existing, functioning agentic monstrosity that their products and services now conjure into ‘service’ and action through inanimate objects (and perhaps unhealthy fantasy/imagination), resource acquisition, and something akin to predation or consumption of domesticated, sensitized (or desensitized), uninformed consumer cathexis and catharsis?

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick incorporation.
