It’s actually kind of feasible as there are a few websites I can’t access unless I turn off my VPN, e.g. Reddit, Ars Technica, XDA… Hilarious, at the moment I can access all three, so it must be a VPN…
The privacy policy is very disturbing, and their lack of morality in prices and weights is equally so. I would never install the Sam’s Club or Walmart apps on my phone, and I set my phone to airplane mode when…
This has some very interesting connections, and pay attention to the predictive policing tied into Flock ALPR cameras which has been experimented with for a long time. Of note, Flock AI gets license plates wrong, so how much more wrong…

Sounds like a way to get your messaging into their AI client for building their profiles of you. Google is using the carrot of protecting you from scams, where Muse is promoting their agentic AI as helping you be more…
This is interesting in that it shines a light on why Hegseth mentioned livestreaming the execution, an illogical idea, as it’s a setup for their global partners to promote censorship at home. It kind of betrays a global partnership contrary…
