Of course they would. They already know who you hate from constant doomscrolling and rage bait. They'll call it asshole avoidance, and charge a premium.
I've been smartphone free for over 5 years now. It's been liberating, but its just not enough. I still use my computer to doomscroll for an hour or 2 a day. It takes me hours of hiking alone in the woods afterwards too unwind all the stress and distraction that comes with being connected.
Ironically right around February I started to have similar thoughts as Chad, that perhaps I should become Neo Amish as he calls it. Like Chad, I like disconnected, non-AI technology just fine. But anything that spies on me or tries to modify my behavior needs to go.
Maybe I'll mail Chad a letter and see if he wants to be my penpal.
Because it is. Total surveillance only works if the people are forced to wear the tracking collar. The next steps are tying it to CBDC, that require a phone number to access your wallet, and tying it to realid/passport to restrict travel.
2FA has become the wedge to break privacy into a million shards.
Phone numbers have become the unique identifier used to build profiles of people and the providers can still claim “security” when they change it to pursue that revenue stream.
The entire 10th amendment is basically being ignored because interstate commerce policies and rulings. For that matter, the 1st, 4th and 5th aren't being upheld either.
Nuclear weapons have rarely been used kinetically. Their real force multiplier is the fear.
A.I. is being used by so many people for so many diabolical things, hidden, unknown things that we may never fully understand it's purpose. But that doesn't mean it's purpose won't destroy us in the end.
The expression "Drinking the Koolaid" is used to explain the Jonestown mass suicide. It is an information hazard, aka, a cult that created the end result: 900 people drinking poisoned flavoraid. That's just one example of a human caused information hazard. What happens when someone with similar thinking applies that to A.I.? Will we even be able to sleuth out who did it?
Not in that order: first denial, because like nicotine industry, they KNEW IT WAS ADDICTIVE but got everyone hooked anyway. The Fear is only because it might (but probably won't) get regulated heavily. They are predators, and the only way to fix this is to give them hard, long jail time. Fines won't do shit.
I find this very suspect that a biomarker for schizophrenia is found before "black" gene/biomarker is found. It sounds like a setup for mass gaslighting and institutionalization by big pharma. Society is always looking for an easy way to institutionalize people it doesn't agree with. This is the big tech version.
Throw away your 'smartphone' and stop using anti-social media. It is killing society, and only making the Billionaires more powerful. They are evil and will do anything to stay in power.
With Trump's tough talk on treason for reporting ill of the Epstein War, I encourage everyone to watch the PBS documentary Jailed for their Words about the Montana Sedition Act of 1918, which was a significant extension of the federal Espionage Act and was repealed in 1921. This is the world Trump and the Fascist Billionaires want: fear, coercion, subjugation.
