Surveillance Threats

Couple this with the oligarchy. I'm not optimistic for the future.

"...keeping everyone 'on their best behavior' through the use of constant real-time machine-learning-powered monitoring."

That sounds swell, doesn't it?

To the extent that we will continue to have public schools in the new Trump era, I expect there to be mandatory courses on "how to maintain best behavior."

I can't believe people aren't more alarmed by it. Especially with tech billionaires already messing with legislation, looking into cutting social programs, and the consolidation of media and the medium it travels on I believe we are close to being effectively taken over by megalomaniacs.

I believe the plan here has to be to tear down the standard of living even more and create more workers desperation which corporations would surely take advantage of. They could even stop bringing in H1Bs to exploit if people here are more exploitable much like it was pre-New Deal era.

It seems like the end game of American capitalism might be economic fascism.

Olga needs to step up her game.

What were the customers doing on their laptops? Need more cameras.

Asking for NSA.

The real question is what will they do with the data?

Obviously this AI will be able to replace the manager or shop foreman whose job it is to make sure workers are working hard enough.

"Hey barista-Joe, the AI says it wants a word with you...."

I'm not on there, but are there many facts posted there at this point? I don't have any social media with the exception of HBOT.

And interesting thought experiment I like to do sometimes is wonder how society changes due to massive EMP blasts. Some people that are extremely wealthy now would be completely gutted in an instant.
