Eroding privacy has bipartisan support

4th amendment? Wtf is that?!

I find it funny in many ways as the privacy they are eroding is likely to disproportionately affect them as many of them are mixed up in corruption. We are going to hear about more and more exposed corruption over the next few years as AI enters the mix and sniffs out sorts of things people thought could never be connected to them. It is the only upside of our privacy being eroded as far as I can tell. That and I guess that we are the humans who have been immortalized in data.

They are going to pass exemptions for themselves, just watch.

They will try and may be successful, but the writing is on the wall if they think they can outsmart AI.

I don’t think they would be that dumb. Always remember the dumb things they say have the purpose of deceiving us, but most of them are slippery as fuck.

I agree and they really are good at fooling the majority it seems more often than not, but I really think AI is going to expose them in a big way, especially when many of if have our own, locally running AI agent that we come to trust.

locally running AI agent that we come to trust.

This ain’t happening unless we seriously fight for it.

Immersive_Matthew@sh.itjust.works on 13 Nov 2023 02:14 collapse

It is already happening and does not even require a fight. It requires supporting open source projects.

would be a whole lot cooler if they didn’t.

NSA surveillance can’t even stop the many mass shooters in the United States. These chucklefucks don’t do anything useful.

elrik@lemmy.world on 11 Nov 2023 16:45 collapse

Although, if they do stop some mass shootings we’d likely never hear about it. So it’s not really that straightforward to understand what, if any, impact it has had.

What’s next?, Elon’s mind-reading starlink technology?
