So one of the worrying things that has plagued my mind, is AI and the fact that in ALL forms of testing and analysis, it seems to lie, try to “escape” and finds humans irritating. If you take that, and the “all gas, no brakes” development style the world seems to be taking towards adding power to AI anyway, and pair it with all this scary new surveillance and military drone & robotic technology… I see a dangerous, ominous future close over the horizon.
You have these drones flying over New Jersey, Spy balloons, Super computers, Companies that hoover EVERY single bit of identifiable information about every user to build “profiles”. Once AI is given access to that data, if it hasn’t already, it will be used by all those companies to enact mind control, by filtering all information we receive. all phones on the market since 2019 have AI chips that can be enabled via software updates. Those chips, and the fact that Phone companies, and manufactures own the keys to any “encryption” on your device, means they actually see and know everything you do on your device. the apps you install, the stores you visit, the routes you drive, the TIMES you leave for work, if you cheat on your spouse, all of it. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook etc. They all have profiles, and they ALL have their own AI’s.. just think about it.

China, and some of the NGO’s have robot dogs with mounted guns on them, or flying drones with weapons, missiles or bombs, etc… equip that with AI, and now we truly have sky-net. yep, keep developing, all gas no brakes. Worldwide internet via Star-link, Everything will connect, and unless we drop technology at that point, we’ll not-so-slowly be ruled by our new “benevolent” robot overlords.
