      Sam’s first business was an app tracking each other with you and your friends. It sounded useless at the time but it was probably a precursor idea to surveillance capitalism.

        I wanted to build something similar but included a Reddit style posting community.

        I ultimately didn’t because the fear of a hostile takeover like what happened at twitter made me rethink allowing such a platform to exist.

        I know I wouldn’t use any of the data to monitor users, but there’s no reasonable way to stop others from abusing the system I created.

        it would be unethical to create such a system knowing it would eventually fall into some private investment firms hands.

            when a multibillion conglomerate sets their eyes on you, do you really think anything will stop them from acquiring you?

            I would rather sabotage the whole product, but what’s stopping any of the devs from taking a copy and building it again for the conglomerate?

            you can’t put the genie back in the bottle once you set it free.

    None of them believe the 💩 they say to convince us to become even more surveilled, and we shouldn’t, either. Point blank, these people are self-serving sociopaths, and they know the financial pain they’ve caused everyone has about got critical mass.

      yup, they’re trapped with a fanatical time bomb and theyre trying anything to make their AI work like they all dreamed, it won’t happen. brute force training with a bot that doesn’t truly understand what is even saying or doing was always a recipe for disaster.

    Is there any evidence anal prints are also unique? I want to start an AI company but it stands for Anal Inspections.

      They use ZK proofs there is no storage it is open. Look it up. If I am mistaken I apologize.

        Their proof doesn’t prove anything if they control the hardware and software scanning your biometrics.

          I mean, I can just take several pictures of your eyes and reconstruct it. I mean, if you have your eyes on any online images, then sorry to tell you…

      I can’t think of anyone I would rather give unalterable biometric information to than a group of egomaniacal sadists who have shown utter disregard for the privacy of everyone as well as the legal code.

    The day I have to give some billionaire creep my biometrics to go to a show is the same day I decide I’m never going to a show again
