I have serious doubts that returning to a ludite existence is truly feasible anymore. These companies, along with governments, seem intent on making it a necessity to be online and to do so without privacy.

The CEO of nvidea outright said their plans for the future involve AI agents accessing your financials and PCs being replaced with AI boxes as our interface. If they force AI into enough stuff before the bubble bursts, it won’t be a choice. The way the net works will be built for AI, not for users to manually interface with. If the infrastructure is rebuilt for AI, it won’t be a choice. With governments all pushing for OS level Id, Microsoft trying to record all user action, the push to ban VPNs, it seems like you will be making that choice sooner than you want.

I hope it works out for you but anyone who remembers a pre-internet life is middle age now and isn’t the target market for emerging tech anymore. If AI proves to be significantly advantageous, not being online to sue it will be like refusing to use computers was to the boomers. You’ll be outcompeted and lose track of how the world is changing.

For who? Where? I’m what?

No they aren’t, even without dementia or other cognitive conditions, aging causes mental decline. This is widely researched and known.

So it isn’t a choice between privacy invasion or watching it burn. It’s a choice between privacy invasion and being left behind.

You can’t stop them from being racist by banning every euphemism they use. If they were smart, they’d find whatever word you love and just start using that, forcing you to have to sacrifice it.

So he’s always had it…or?

What we’re doing to take back the world from the psychopaths and narcissists who are stealing everything and imperilling our species’ existence.

Supplements, roids, hgh, stem cells…

Do you not know how aging works?

Was good day. Their entire scam is base on them getting lucky, unfortunately. I’ve gotten hooked a couple time at first because it related to my life. My suspicious now triggered when I have to fill in too much detail to connect it to my actual life. The best lies use truths.

For now. We’ve already seen behaviors become culturally suspect simply because they became uncommon. Not too far from vilification from there, then fear mongering, then criminalizing. I worry the value of us not having privacy is too profitable to withstand the effort to remove it.

They don’t care if kids do since that isn’t the purpose, just the excuse.

Do you even know the extent of things they know and what that information allows them to derive about you? They know the patterns of life of billions of people. You’re just a pattern to match with everyone else just like you.

We have more than we will and for some of us, who made the sacrifices and took steps, more than others.

Parents spend less time with their children than the state and culture does. Parents all work 8-10 hours a day, they can’t feasibly solve this through parenting, not without ensuring parents have the time and resources necessary to parent. That’s also not just to partner in the right directions, but to counter the efforts of billion dollar companies and governments who are all teaching children lessons that drive them in bad directions.

Parenting is not possible in the way it was in the past. Some kind of community parenting may work, but that’s an informed concept.

But it won’t burn, it will be content to leave you behind.

The impact that may have on navigating life seems significant. Have you even considered how that would actually work? Practically.

What can we do to stop this?

They care very much about making games that get bought.

Genocide.
