It’s just surveillance under the guise of Siri

    1. We’ve been willingly carrying tracking devices in our pockets for decades, now. The surveillance state didn’t just arrive.

      We already have plenty of data center for current surveillance needs. There are firms that process and store literally every file, note, comment, image, and website a child using a school computer accesses as well as screenshots on intervals and keep it in AWS as well as a terrestrial data center. Their footprint is tiny compared to a midsized bank or small hospital. Storage is cheap.

    3. Uhm, yes, that’s what that is.

      Well, half.

      The other half is that the tech industry owns most of our politicians and as such have an outsized amount of power that they throw around.

      Obama should’ve heavily regulated this industry, but at the time the dems bought into the idea that these tech guys wouldn’t be like every industry ever and make a hard right-wing pivot as soon as it was profitable. They thought Silicon Valley would be progressive forever because it’s young people.

      Now it’s too late to do anything to stop them unless the next dem president actually holds everyone engaging in this blatant corruption that this administration is all about accountable.

    4. The NSA built an enormous data center in Utah over ten years ago, just to store the huge quantities of digital data it was getting from us. They didn’t really know what to do with it all back then, but wanted to keep it for when they eventually did know how to apply it. Either by developing an interest in a person and being able to go back and look for old information on them, or by developing AI to effectively analyze all of it.

    5. I know someone who is retired from one of the three letter federal law enforcement agencies. He told me a while ago that he saw the video surveillance capabilities of every room in a particular hotel in sin city. And it was done through the television. I used to think, “How would that even be possible? Right? That’s several hundred rooms.” Now, I completely believe they have the capability to monitor several hundred million people. I’m kinda paranoid just writing this post.

      Everyone needs to rewatch iRobot right now. The whole plot is happening. Wait until they start selling folks home robots, that will basically spy and report on any “non state” behavior. You think people are disappearing now, wait till the robots hold you till the cops arrive.

    7. That sounds correct, but if that’s the endgoal, they might want to take some good looks at the plan. There’s a few major holes.

      They are being built for the ‘Smary Cities’ that are coming in the near future. The NWO is coming sooner than you think!

      What do you mean? AI just fits so naturally into all of our search engines, chat messages, photos, diaries, social media, entertainment, therapy, tech companies, food processing, insurance, medical information, banking institutions, political bodies, and what its only owned by a couple of zillionaires who have no right or jurisdiction to our names? But it can make a funny photo.

      Palantir promises it won’t use our data for anything nefarious. Pinky promise even.

    11. I mean you can find videos or just about every billionaire involved in politics saying some insane shit. Talking about the general population as cattle, talking about how good everyone would behave if they just implemented a surveillance state.

      These people are a danger to us all.
