I learned about Google‘s lack of respect for privacy in School 15 years ago, though. They‘re the poster child of data harvesting.

Read a comment about Nuremberg trials for the rich and AI company execs the other day. This made me think of it.

We do using the 4 boxes of liberty.

Soap box: Freedom of speech. It has already been successful to stop many data centers from being constructed. Make your voice heard at town meetings and social media. If that doesn‘t work because they suppress communication we move on to the next box.

Ballot box: Vote for change. Politicians don‘t listen? Vote other representatives who do. If that didn‘t work because all candidates are corrupt pigs we try the next box.

Jury box: Sue them. There has been success on this level too. Many data centers don‘t even wait for the permit. There‘s a lot of wrenches that you can throw between their gears on a legal level. Besides, a jury can even decide in favor of the town folks on no legal basis at all. Just because they think it makes more sense to stop the data center. But sometimes even that doesn‘t work because corporations already lobbied to bend the laws in advance. Which leaves us with the last option.

Cartridge box: Armed resistance is the last line of defense. This is true for fighting the techno fascist state as it is to fight any enemy of democracy and freedom. It has seen some success to push back against Flock, for example.

So yeah, I would argue a lot is being done already.

With how fast big tech moves to break things there‘s no time for nuance. I‘m not being sarcastic or anything. I‘m serious. We genuinely don‘t need all that computing power. It makes live only harder instead of improving it at this point because it‘s mostly used to replace us in the job market and spy on us in our free time. So yeah, fight every single data center. Fuck nuance.

Results of surveys can easily be faked. Just ask 1200 people with suggestive questions then remove 200 answers you didn‘t like and say you asked 1000 people. :)

Pretty much what Snowden warned us about yeah. And with everything we know about LG‘s smart TVs I‘m counting on many phones listening to us 24/7.

Lots of inconclusive data IMO. Seem cherry picked in a lot of ways. The most interesting bit to me was that a study conducted by Microsoft acknowledges Palestine as a country. Genuinely surprised me.

Sadly more RAM just means more data centers these days.

That stuff would 100% get leaked and ruin many lives. Hell it would ruin lives even if only authorized authorities have access to it because some perverted cops or politicians will abuse it to stalk women and children. They‘re already doing it but getting a live feed of someone’s online activity by typing in a single number makes it so much more convenient for bad actors. And it would also get leaked on top of it.

The law never applied to the Epstein class. The police is only there to protect their wealth.

The only smart glasses I will ever need are the sunglasses from John Carpenter‘s They Live.

They knew what they were doing every step of the way. They are criminals that need to be disarmed and locked away. And we need to create a new Internet from scratch somehow thanks to these donkeys.

Super unnecessary and dystopian. If you‘re a minor with a driving license your parent should either be by your side or you know what you‘re doing since you have a drivers license. If those systems fail you need a better system rather than parental control software in a vehicle.

It‘s a shitty system if all you can do is hoping for the perfect president to fix everything while mega corps and billionaires are actively working to keep those guys out of office. You need a grass roots movement against billionaires, against lobbying and against presidential powers if you want a piece of that growing productivity cake.

„The system isn‘t broken it just needs a perfect leader to barely function.“

Sounds like a shitty system.

Sadly I have little faith their proposal will be reasonable. It‘ll either be too soft or asking for unreasonable measures like broad identification and face IDs.

Luckily their stock is down 6.75% from last month and 27.8% from a year ago.

We need Nuremberg trials for Billionaires and AI company execs.

On one hand the US is giving China a little taste of their own medicine. On the other hand it‘s still blatant hypocrisy. As usual they only care about illegal activities when others do it but they will protect their own darlings with tooth and nail.

Vaporware.
