If doesn’t stop at ads. Someone with all the data - remember this includes enterprise - can predict markets. They can get ahead of new inventions. They can insider trade. They can pick winners and losers. They can censor unfavorable articles. They can swing elections.
Why do you think they push for laws to force you to ID yourself online at all times? Why do you think they push for backdoors in encryption? And, conveniently, both of those things also make cloud platforms an easier way to enforce compliance, as well as providing them with full access.
The techbros are building a panopticon for total control, not just to sell more ads. It’s WAY more nefarious.
Well I didn’t want to go full Orwellian. But I have thought about it too. Of course the most sinister thing in 1984, where they change history by replacing articles in the newspapers. That would be possible. Because if all you have are some hand scribbled notes or your certain own memory that we were DEFINITELY at war with East Asia, but everyone else knows the truth, they assure you of the truth. That we were always, at war with Eurasia. You’re suddenly that crazy guy.
The vast majority of people have little real memory or grasp of history. Already on X people are asking grok such simple questions.
Now, you might say, well they couldn’t change every copy of information could they? Humans, no. AI, quite probably.
In all seriousness, I’m aware of how far it could go. I just hope there’s enough humanity left in the world that it doesn’t.
