Oh that makes a ton of sense, sounds like we already are living through that by what im reading in your example, never even noticed that

Yes, you are right, but you could scan people for any electronics, I didn’t clarify that’s what I was thinking about, that’s my bad

Yeah I’m scared about something like this “virtual signaling - game of the year edition” update to using the internet

Well, that’s kind of why the post says “current” you know? The future part getting at “this might get even worse as time goes on”

From what you write, I feel you know nothing about the business of psychiatry, I’m prescribed antipsychotics while not having any psychosis or symptoms that could be helped by its use, I’ve been prescribed wrong things multiple times in the past aswell, and being told “just believe this doctor because the doctor is the authority and knows best” some of the meds i have taken in the doses i was prescribed back when i trusted the doctors made me actually suicidal (outside of the organ damage of course)

You will know if you ever get into taking psychiatric meds and how that works. I WISH it wasn’t like this, I really do. But it just isn’t. I was never warned of any side effects short or long term by any of my doctors, and when i had them, unless they were like super apparent like not sleeping for 4 days or something, they were hand waved away.

My intention is not to be mean or dismissive to you, but I do feel in this one case at least, you don’t have the experience required to know how it works in reality (and not only what the media tells you “stay on your meds!”)

I do take some pills selectively as I’ve read on them and their usefulness in my case, even suggesting pill changes in my schema, to pretty good success actually.

The fact im storing up on dozens of antipsychotics (cause yay i was feeling better and i didnt need but my doc wanted me on them) now doesnt sound such a bad idea, maybe i can just absolutely dismantle all my brain functions into death or becoming a vegetal, you know, live life but keep your options opened, I’d hate to live like a bitch like that, always being watched like if i was on reality TV or some bullshit, i read a bit on the TV stuff (i think you are referencing 1984 or bnw maybe) but i dont have a tv, a pc is more than enough

I don’t see many ways out really, its depressing

you mean you have, or you mean you should in theory, have those

could i ask what you do/avoid doing? im curious (ofc if you feel comfy sharing)

I mean, that’s kinda the whole point about anything that steals your agency, If I could be 100% sure no doubt in my mind that the entity/person that recorder all my data from birth to death would never use it for anything that could harm me, yea record even my gooning sessions, my psychological breakdowns, all my breakups etc etc etc

Thing is you can’t really make that assumption in this world, also because you not only need your current overlords to be 100% good, but every single new overlord you are going to get in the future (at least for the next few decades while you are still alive)

following on the analogy, what lube-like policy you think could end up being introduced to facilitate such a process? (if any)

Yeah, that sounds like a pain, as you can’t check that (you wont slice them open), but % of pacemaker/vital tech should be super small

That makes sense

Yeah, but how do you think it will change the way you or society at general for that matter will live life?

do you know if you can have tech offline being 100% secure it won’t connect to anything? like foiling out a room (faraday) and then using tech inside it to like listen to music or play LAN, i get that phones could still record so i would still have those outside tho

I wish…

mind explaining double think? i read the book back on highschool, but i never understood it more than like doublethink is a contradictory way of thinking so its easier to accept nonsensical or paradoxical things “dad loves me so much” - “dad beats the shit out of me if i cook the food to long” living together, something like that?

when underage i did ONE video call with an adult, to think that might be somewhere out there… man that’s funny

Thank you so much, I’ve been looking for frameworks on what tf to do about it, like how to live my life now, I’ve been depressed for a bit so I havent left the house much in the last few years and now that this update hit the server i dont know what the best moves are, its a totally novel situation for me, i read the panopticon but not much more than that, i literally dont know how life will turn out now

I heard some investors were happy for this to happen as too much money was getting spent on datacenters, so a slowdown could be good for them in the long term, like a breather to pile up some more cash to go at it again

AI is just so big of a thing to ever stop, you might get small bumps here and there but you would need to stop it WORLDWIDE for something like this to work, no country will want to be in a permanent disadvantage by not using AI, and even if AI is “banned” how do you actually enforce it? Such a powerful technology would still be used even after the ban, they would just hide it better

It also pisses people off sometimes: “Ugh… Protesters again, now my commute will take 15min longer, what the fuck is wrong with these people… GO TO WORK FUCKING HIPPIES!” As if they were part of the upper class lol, I like how gary from gary’s economics explains it, you are not part of the elite, policies that benefit the elite hurt you, as resources are limited wealth has to come from somewhere, if the rich are getting richer faster that means you also go poor faster
