  • The only way the AI bubble won’t burst will be its complete integration into the military industrial complex and surveillance state, which is already underway.

    AI traffic correlation for deanonymizing VPN users, ai tracking of all cellphone users across the US carrier networks, tracking of all people across all security cameras,…

    This is just the beginning. And its all propped up by military spending from the US government.

    “Data is the new oil” and all that? Is about undermining any 4th amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure. And AI is the latest (glitchy) tool to automate all of this.

    But consumer facing side? Yeah, that’s gonna burst.



  • I’d love to see them audited.

    Back when they were in the US, they closed shop and moved to Iceland to avoid turning over data for a subpoena.

    That’s both admirable and an admission that they had longs to turn over.

    But that they generate accounts on the fly like the best? Is promising in context.


  • You know how the US government has 3 branches that are supposed to check and balance each other? We should teach that Corporations, Government, and Individuals/Unions operate similarly.

    Corporate terms of service check individuals against abusing others. So do government laws.

    Government is supposed to check corporations from abusing their customers. And customer boycotts moderate corporate behavior.

    And corporations… Apparently moderate the flow of information to individuals so the companies always manufacture consent. And lobby for their own advantage.

    If nothing else, by describing how it is, we can have a real conversation about how fucked/okay all of this is, and examine what parts of this framework are actually functioning.

    And in that, we can explore where Unions fit - as 3rd party bosses steeped in corruption, or as genuine representatives of their people. And explore how to rebound in just the one context, because we are good citizens. 😇😅😉


  • There is that potential, depending on your build.

    Makes me wanna DM again. An all warlock party where nobody knows that anyone else is a warlock would be the silliest sort of fun 😁🤔😇

    Plot twist - the BBEG Is everyone’s Patron, though they all use different subclasses and other DM “gifts” to mask as another class.
