> I was pretty convinced that people were taking Copilot seriously

I think people used Copilot and realised it was a bit of a nothing burger.

> find a way to combat the real threat: life goes on.

That's the curse of the news cycle. But actions that do live on are monetary ones. When Apple miss sales targets, perhaps they will take note.

> Your three bullet points are wonderful, and I agree entirely with them. And it won't change a damn thing.

I think the last one is the most important, if each of us here can multiply the awareness of the problem, we can start to make real difference. Tech people have a massive influence over what devices ordinary people buy, after all, who will they go to for tech advice?

> I'm not sure what to do about it.

It's a tough problem, but what I do know is that doing nothing will 100% change nothing.
