It's always bout the monies. Always. And about the evil EU. EU is only good as long as it gives subsidiary monies, but we don't mention that. Never. We only take and moan.

What a caricature of the 'we'.

You almost always get 'something' from your government even if i want it or not, call it subsidiaries or not, the moment i do, i forego my right to complain?

I indeed have an issue with rules enforced on EU level, which seem great on paper, but have negative implications on local level. Course correction takes ages. This is the typical distance to power concept.


This was once known as Gestapo and Stasi.

The USA is a technofascist state dismantling itself and every democratic institution that stands against the coming technocracy.

Reminds me of Idiocracy. Are we idiots yet? This is so that AI agents can "guide" a human, directing the meat bot more easily. Telling the meat bot where to click and what to do. The entire "what to think" step isn't even necessary when there is no thought. Because thoughts and decisions are annoying. It's astonishing how much people are already "algorithmically" steered so they don't have to turn on their rational thinking.


50%? Not 51%? Or 49%?


That's old news. It was known that Palantir was responsible for the murder of the school girls. What's new is that the Pentagon finally admits to it now that it's out of the focus of the news cycle. A very typical strategic disclosure.


Palantir's Maven is not an LLM. It embedded Claude as its model. Claude was the one suggesting targets (humans were the ones approving them)


Not a surprise, so do financial advisors: garbage in = garbage out.


This sounds like something from a sci-fi horror movie. "Snorting charged nanoparticles" that can then be manipulated by magnetic fields sounds more like a weapon or life-long disability than anything I'd want to be done to me willingly.


But you're not working for Flock, are you? We could go on much further until we reach the what Popper called the Tolerance Paradox: "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

The point is that total surveillance is like the destruction of tolerance or in thie case privacy, and it makes watching the watchmen impossible. There's a point of no return and before that one is reached resistance IS allowed or else you lose everything.


Guy is not just a technician, he's a technician working for Flock installing surveillance tech to monitor the public. Wrong life choices have consequences like being filmed being complicit in establishing a surveillance regime.
