At first i thought this was an open house where the visitors slowly became relplaced by AI, honestly i thought this was speaking upon the fact that AI would be able to replace even the housing industry, imagine the amount of land that would be bought up if it were given the resources to generate wealth off of unused land, imagine this scenario but replace the "crime" with anything else.
This IS our future if we let it be.
I actually got so pissed off one night i literally told myself "We'll leave it for tommorrow." and hard switched my setup lol.
Puddle has been wet for a while, infact, it's practically almost an inland ocean, why do you think we're funding drone wars? Ai computing? Quantum computers? tactical robotics? Surveilence companies like Pegasus, Blackrock, Palantir, Even our our domestic surveilence is getting a larger check than defense. It's a very deliberate "funding" of institutions that ultimately give the police an upperhand, not saying that the police are directly funding these institutions, but rather the state, although not much when it comes to anything outside the defense budget.
There's a reason why privacy advocates are for alternative tech, and that's because since 9/11, corporations have become "lobbied" for lack of a better word, to include backdoors and implement certain tech to aid a surveilence state, such as the removal of headphone jacks, the endorsement of useless and extremely vulnerable tech that's more energy wasting, blutooth products (yeah i have a problem with it, everyone should), fingerprint sensors, front and back facing cameras, artificial intelligence (yes even the older models.), and even going as far as to add metadata to photos that give your exact geolocation data.
Don't even get me started on the invasive software that comes with the tech, like auto generated albums, or auto editing photos, the such, it pisses me off that we let these things happen. Alternative tech makes it much harder to intercept such vulnerable information, ofcourse, it won't completely stop it, but it mitigates how much they can swipe under your nose.
Not only that, but check upon the "Blue Shield Act," it explains the motive for corruption within the american institutions of police, hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. It's the common trope for the kinds of psychopaths that would be okay with doing the job in the first place. If there's one thing that makes their job easier, it's definitely going to be you in cuffs staying silent, so why try to steer away from cutting corners? We're the law, what we say is final. Until it isn't ofcourse..
But that's the problem, as you state in your comment above, this abuse of power is shrugged off, almost as if a normal behaviour, expected. It's digusting to see it even when i grew up around the same mentality. But hey, at least their method clearly seems to be working, we're practically silent seeing as they still have the confidence to fuck with our lives.
Just remember, it's final until it isn't.

It. GROWS. UPWARDS. IT GROWS UP!!! UP!
I don't see how the supreme court could do this!
Clearly brown cows produce chocolate milk, so why don't plants that GROW UPWARDS!!! Count as trees?!?!?!?
The american logic clearly follows a mysterious trend of some sorts...
If i could, i'd burn a whole forest just to write a manifesto about climate change.
I don't understand how we've become so dumb that we simply can't turn a knob for gas and strike a match for a flame. Or, well atleast dumb enough to accept these kinds of shitty products on the "free market." I understand having convenience in your life, but at the cost of this? AND a higher price all for some "super smoke" and "timer" option.
Is this the technofeudalist dream? If the next big thing in smart tech is to add ai to grills to "get the perfect sear" or whatever, just kill me.
I'm making a sandwich rn. wyd?
Splash it in the face of the people who piss you off, pour it down their pants when they aren't looking, set the pan on their chest when they're asleep and set their hand in the grease. I DON'T CARE.
Absolutely, experimentation is better than following the steps of someone else anyways, not everyone will have the same experience.
I definitely understand that, it takes time to get used to "wanting" to wake up.
I feel like if that happened to me though it would motivate me to find something different.. not throwing shade, but it's what i would do. Though sleeping in isn't that much of a bad thing when you have time to sleep in, no need to be punctual about it as long as you don't let it go. Balance.
Anyways, sucks for boss cause if i'm late then there's no reason to rush myself any further. I'm still going to work, still doing my job the same, they simply just don't understand that.
yeah but increase that outcome by a multiple of 10, and speed it up the process it takes to do so just as much.
