"They" will use #debt as a control mechanism.

To "own" something, you'll need to borrow, which means a good ̶s̶o̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ credit
score.

All they need to do is keep #wages as a percentage of the #ownership cost of items you need.

This is how the #billionaires can own and #control you.

You will forever be in debt to them if nothing changes.

#democracy has failed

There's a lesson to be learned with this #oil shortage and increase in price.

This is what it will look like at the start of #peakoil and will only get worse.

Stockpiles will be sold off at increasing cost and all costs will skyrocket. Transport will slow to a crawl and the economy slam into a wall.

It should be a wake up call to the powers that be, but they know what's coming and they don't care. They are all hoping and gambling that they won't be in power when the last shoe drops.

#AI performing tasks needs to be viewed in two ways, one rarely mentioned.

AI results in jobs being lost. This is a mixed bag as plenty of menial jobs shouldn't be done by people, they should be automated. Give people a better education, job and life.

Here's what is never mentioned.
AI can work for YOU. Do you need an extra hand in your small business or at home? You can have it, and it will be cheap or free.

It will also enable us to watch the watchers and analyse their lives. 👀

Complaining about #AI is like complaining about knives because people get stabbed.

AI is already revolutionising data processing, that's what it's for. Not just image generation or chatbots.

When you say "no AI", you're saying no to everything it does do, and can do. Like new medications, climate models and education.

AI saved my life because the GP & hospital were wrong. Literally, I'd be dead if it wasn't for AI.

AI is a tool, when it's misused blame the user. Don't blame or be a tool.

I am going to set up an #AI in my name.

I am going to give it a fake career, marriage, family and background. It's going to post to others, some will be AI, some not.

It's going to make videos and share things that never happened.

It's even going to contribute to the filter bubble, make searches and use websites.

When #bigtech watches, I am going to put on a show, their data sets are going to be useless.

Bigtech needs to be careful of what tools they make, because we can use them too.

Wow, talk about setting unattainable standards nintendo! 😏

#gaming #unreasonableexpectations #ACNL

This is just how shit #bunnings is.

I paid for next day delivery.
The order was sent to the wrong store. They didn't have one item in stock so just cancelled it, the other item is set to pickup....

You can clearly see I paid for DELIVERY.

Of course you can't call them, nobody answers.

This is how shit #retail is in #australia
This is why online #etailers rip is off, because they know how bad the alternatives are.

The only way to buy is from shopping platforms, anything else is roulette.

You know it's going to be a bad day for the world when you hear "Israel says.." in the news.

#truth #israel #media #lies #bullshit #war #iran #lebanon #gaza

The #government has no idea how much they have screwed up.

They might not listen to us, #voting may be almost useless in this #political climate... the #govt has chosen to listen to #corporations instead.

However.. as we all recently saw with #flock and #amazon they will bow to our power, money.

We can control the corporations if we #forcemultiply and that will carry more weight than any vote.

If the govts won't listen, the corporations will because if they don't, we'll bankrupt them.

People say that #proton has good customer service, that's a lie, it's utter #bullshit.

They silence anyone that speaks out, try making a comment on the subreddit that mentions customer service and you'll be automoderated.

Prove they have a problem with their servers and they won't listen.
They won't escalate issues if they can't deal with them, they just guess as to what is wrong.

They make claims no sense because the agents HAVE NO IDEA what they are doing. They are script-readers.

You know why #bigtech and #government want to control #AI ?

Take the #epsteinfiles for example.
AI can take every censored name or location and figure out who/what it is by OSINT. It can correlate information, confirm who was where at the time by public records and analyse everything for truth and produce a report.

AI is a great force multiplier and leveller.
Who watches the watchers? We do, and AI is a hell of a tool for investigations.
It's your own personal army of PhD's who never rest.

The #govt could stop the #surveillance tomorrow and little would change.

The #cameras are on people's faces, in stores and on doorbells. Devices #spy on other devices and report on you as you move about.

Facial recognition will be the eyes of every #glasshole wearing a camera from #bigtech

What needs to change is #society.
They need to appreciate #privacy instead of #oversharing and realise you need it for good #mentalhealth.

The walls don't spy, but your neighbours' devices do.

See this shit #nexusmods STOP IT!!

This is as bad as #ageverification people would be angry if they understood what #cloudflare was doing every time they #verify

c███flare is fingerprinting your device every time you see this, they are identifying your unique hardware configuration, think of it as biometrics, but for your PC.

You are giving them #ID you just didn't know it.

"Stopping malicious bots" is just another pathetic excuse to identify you online!

#privacy

I wasn't sure how #AI would "answer" this prompt...

"Show me an image, divided down the middle, displaying reality as people believe it is vs reality as it actually is."

I was expecting the opposite, I was expecting AI to insinuate people were being #cynical but it got it pretty spot on.

#Sentiment is low and much of it is tied to financial distress.

I like the subdued "white picket fence" and the way it portrayed #industry in the background.

This is a warning in a bank app.
At least the app works (for now) if you deny these privileges.

There's no way I am granting this, it's #surveillance and the bank has no place spying on my device/s or even the surrounding devices, many which belong to other people.

THIS is how crowd sourced surveillance works. Your device is spying on other devices and reporting back.

That's what BT and WiFi "scanning" does.

Big tech has made the public spy on one another, the walls have eyes and ears!

It's disturbing how many quotes from #Negan of #TheWalkingDead sound befitting of #Australian #politicians

Just look at the quotes, you can hear them out of the mouths out of the people in power.

#corruption #auspol #scum

"I'm not a monster. I'm just a guy who does what needs to be done."

"Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good."

"You either run with us or you run from us."

"Everyone is replaceable. You just have to remember that."

I don't think #trump or even #bigtech is #racist or #whitesupremacist but they want you to believe they are.

They are #capitalist nothing matters more than wealth to them. Not race, gender, sexuality.. nothing.

They want people to think they are not the target but others are, so they hide in their comfort zone... until they are next.

They do not discriminate, they are going to f••k us all over.

Do you need to read the poem "First they came" again?

We are all targets

I love this #music track.
It's like all of my favourite #RPG music rolled into one, it would play beautifully in all of them, from #EtrianOdyssey to #chronotrigger and even comfy #games like #stardewvalley

A word of advice for #government #bigtech and the #ultrawealthy

You're on a razors edge.
People are angry, hungry and not happy with the direction the world is headed, and you're in the drivers seat.

You are only where you are because the people permit it.

I am not threatening you, I am observing the tide turn. People have had enough, the "f██k you I've got mine" attitude is being replaced with, "f██k you for taking mine!".

There will be #revolution if you keep this up. #anarchy #reality

Daym.

My old #espresso machine died, I was going to get a Rancilio Silvia but the price is a bit obscene in Aus, went up and isn't coming down.

A second hand #GaggiaClassic is too close to new pricing, so I bought the new #E24

I already have a great grinder, so once I adjusted that from French press to espresso it was perfect.

I know I have a lot of experience with manual machines, but.. I have to say, it's really easy to use. Just do a purge, pre-infuse, let it bloom then pull your shot.

There one part of #tech that we really need to abandon. #mansplaining and #sexism

It's usually a young male in their early 20's, their level of experience doesn't seem to matter, they are sure they know best.
They are very well aware I have decades of experience and was working in the field whilst they were still in diapers.

Yet they will attempt to explain to me the most rudimentary basics as though I have never seen a PC or touched a PC.

Really stop being so fucking #sexist I am sick of it.

There's a line. This crosses it.

Wifi and bluetooth "scanning" is bad, really bad.. but this is worse. I can turn off bluetooth.

#biometrics are considered "sensitive data" and #meta is of course going to collect it from everyone without consent.

So everywhere your face goes, meta will be able to identify you. Every store, every checkout, every person you walk past, every camera with meta connected.

What can I say, fuck this. Meta has gone too far with this crap.
