This announcement completes the betrayal of their founding principles.

"Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return."

  - Not advancing digital intelligence
  - While locking people into a superapp
  - Because they are further constrained to generating financial returns
