>>109878635because its easier to spy on everyone to find the rotten eggs, rather than putting lots of effort into finding out who the rotten eggs are and then spying on them
>>109879160I've lost count of how many times I've heard "the guy who blew up the plane was on several watch lists"that might be another problem altogether, but it can't excuse the fact that the tools for that very purpose were designed, implemented, then ultimately ignored
>>109878635In the case of China, some anon claims they have successfully profiled most Americans.
>>109878694iTODDLERS BTFO
>>109878635You are not being actively monitored unless you are a PoI. All your data is recorded and stored later, for when you do become, or are suspected of having become, a PoI. And then it's the God damned Eye of Sauron on your ass.
>>109878635How? More or less by building profiles of individuals based on data collected from the websites most people use.This has become especially easy with the proliferation of javascript.
>>109879588>data collected from the websites most people usethat is sold to data brokers which sell that data to governments or genuinely just whoever is willing to pay
>>109878635Watch the Snowden interview w Greenwald on Youtube, all you have to do is fall under suspicion or make someone in a government role feel inadequate or cognitive dissonance and they'll use the system to go back and scrutinize every decision you've ever made and it will feel like a first person horror film. If you know you're rights and they can't convict they'll just destroy your life by colluding with the private sector. I don't see humanity really functioning and thriving living under totalarian surveillance prison tax farms.
>>109879617Yup, basically. And that's specifically where Palantir and similar orgs are so intimidating because they can use their analytical tools to group profiles together and draw up warrants to be automatically processed at record speeds.>>109879582Quite literally the eye of sauron. Its why you gotta ignore glowies or dumbass trolls online who try to bait you with shit line "well if u hate it what r u gonna do about it??" Take it offline and remain offline. Telegram and Matrix have opsec gaps. Stop getting baited.
>>109878635If it's connected to a power outlet, you're out in public and near radio waves and have thoughts inside your head - the government will collect it.
>>109879582Pretty much this. Data relevant to you is being actively recorded and archived, but *not* actively analysed and looked at. Not unless you start doing things that make the glowies think you're some kind of criminal or a threat to national security.Due to the advent of AI, this may change in the future though. It is likely that in the coming decades, all this data actually will be analysed. Except the glowies will have an AI to do it for them, instead of human employees. This will make it far easier to make inferences about every single citizen in a given country.Inferences such as:>Is this person likely to be left-winged or right-winged?>Is this person likely to be pro-establishment or anti-establishment?>Is this person likely to have skills/knowledge on how to purchase/build illegal guns or an IED? Any other potentially dangerous skills or knowledge they may have learned during their life?>Is this person likely to know how to bypass surveillance measures? Does this person appear to know more about computers and techno-surveillance than the average person? Is extra-tight surveillance required on this person's internet usage?>Is this person likely to be a threat to our government?>Is this person likely to be a good boy who will do what he's told? Or more stubborn and hard to influence and control?All of these inferences will be used to assign some kind of rating/classification to you that will never be shared with you. It will be determined by ongoing AI analysis of everything you do and will constantly be updated as you do more stuff. The worse of a rating the AI assigns you, the more closely your government will decide they need to watch you.>tl;dr this is the future of AI. Surveillance on giga-steroids.
>>109881205God, imagine the false positive rate.
>>109878635
>>109881216I imagine there would be quite a lot of false positives with AI-driven surveillance, yes.Everyone I know who's over 40 keeps worrying about the terminator and skynet, because they don't know anything at all about LLM's and deep state surveillance. My boss legit thinks we're all gonna get annihilated by AI one day lol. Maybe, maybe not.But I think it's far more likely that AI will become a tool of the state for turbo-giga-nigger levels of surveillance, and *that* will be how AI fucks everyone over. Not by killing us all, but by making 1984 into a reality.
>>109881205They're going way past politicwl control now>Why aren't you working?>In this interaction why did you come off as rude?>Don't overthink it, shut your brain off>Why aren't you pro BLM/pro Jesus/pro fotm ideology enough in private?>You need to lock in.>You're dating too many women and having sex, we're watching you through the TV - gotta humble him a bit.>Wrong opinion detected, do some kind of softcore punishment and gaslight him Probably the worst country on earth and the shittiness is well hidden. Positive attributes get you put on a list now for not looking like a fucking fat ugly slob wearing pajama pants everywhere at 56% bodyfat
