In that case we should start with FAANG companies as they are already what one would consider "rogue" AIs. They use manipulation to get you addicted to their apps. It's not a problem of the future, it's a currrent proble

I'm guilty of this. Back when I was writing Java apps using Swing, I'd perform heavy blocking IO operations in button event handlers synchronously. Looking back, I realise how much haram I was committing.

No grandstanding in my opinion. Social media is a very dangerous and addictive drug that is difficult to police. It should be heavily regulated as it's destroying society.
