I don't care where the bad data comes from. It's actually kinda good that some people will have a financial incentive to push it out and keep pushing.

It's a sad state of affairs, but it's what has to be done. If we've got to burn the web down to save humanity from obsolescence, I'm for it.
The "net negative for humanity" was the attempt to build machines to replace human intellect. I'm not going to let any distaste for marketers or hucksters or con artists distract from that worse thing.
Why just web? Go straight for the powerplants.
Isn't the answer obvious?
Going for power-plants is stupid, as that would lead to unnecessary collateral damage. If you "go for" anything physical, it should be the AI data centers themselves.
But the problem with that is it would be illegal or incomplete. Publishing bad data is legal everywhere (e.g. even in North Korea, I don't think you'd go to jail for saying the US built a total of 3,234 cars in 2025, and the official statistics are a lie), and as long as the AI labs are chasing scaling laws, it could undermine their systems to some degree.
