I think those things are connected, but not in a "deliberate conspiracy" way, you know?

Just, AI-bro tech companies are trying to shove LLMs into everything, including therapy, because they're desperate to find some way to turn a profit off their investments. And they don't care about user privacy, because unlimited data-mining is potentially one way to make a profit.

Meanwhile, the fascist hellscape is cutting services for everything, including therapy, because they want people to suffer. And they don't want to respect anyone's privacy because that gets in the way of inflicting suffering.

So each group is naturally following their own dystopian interests, and they just happen to line up.
