On device scanning to protect the children now, but it’s heading to on device agentic AI spying on everything and reporting violations to the government. And the UK is already prosecuting people for posting factual information that goes against the…
I don’t think people understand just how AI is going to be used, which this paragraph sums up nicely. Beyond this, they’re most likely building a very detailed profile on you as an individual based on what you research, beliefs,…
It’s interesting that they need a video of your face along with ID, which is a move for facial recognition and biometric collection. And they added the ability to verify a fact in their wallet without revealing personal data last…
This is a little background that shows beyond normal installed Flock ALPR cameras, they can put up these temporary cameras camouflaged as traffic cones. This leads to tips from feds to local law enforcement for vehicles that fit a trafficker…

The laziness that AI is bringing in is going to be detrimental to all entities that utilize it, and these lazy humans just aren’t going to properly vet results. And the humans coming out of university today are a problem,…
I have severe concerns with AI created code not being sufficiently vetted as it can be a source of exploits and backdoors. And the cultish rush to the Rust programming language is equally concerning for the same things. And I…
