    I know you’re not supposed to anthropomorphize the lawnmower, but man, I really hate this lawnmower.

    These dumbasess are nearing the wish and dream of every autocratic government in human history: to fully automate the military.

    Its not done yet dumbasses, why are you revealing these cards in such a public way? They are so impatient and arrogant, which will one day be their undoing.

    The inevitably of end stage capitalism marches closer

      Thiel moving to Argentina too soon, too? Maybe place your administration one more time, before leaving the mess you made?

    The simple fact of using the word “citizens” instead of people sounds awfully dystopian to me.

    If you are always on your best behavior, doesn’t that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

    What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

    Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.

    Also,

    “You already have zero privacy - get over it.” - Scott McNealy

    SM was founder of Sun Microsystems. Ironic part is… Sun had very little to do with the total destruction of privacy. Not compared to Google, Meta, Tiktok, and some 100’s of data broker companies nobody heard of but sit in the shadows and amass dossiers of every single human being.

    Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.
