I can’t say I knew, but it doesn’t surprise me. The AI folk, among others, want to spy on us as much as possible, but they also know that if they opnly target the kids, they’ll get destroyed by lawmakers and courts and public opinion, so they need to pretend that they’re only fucking over adults.

You have to keep in the front of your mind the fact that he’s a strong narcissist. Things like truth and reality don’t matter, and the only thing that’s kind of true to him is whatever he believes, and that’s what he believes right now, and that’s that he’s the best, and everyone loves him except for crazy people.
So in answer to your question, no, he is not trying to lose because in his brain he isn’t losing and he couldn’t possibly lose.
