Ok, if the ai knows

Fuuuuck.

Sure thing, and for the record I’m a primary source. I’ve seen this directly, going back more than a decade

Everyone. Damn near everyone has a phone at this point, Facebook even handed them out to keep the user numbers growing at one point

People who live in dirt floor huts walk to churches or other gathering places to charge them. The cheapest smart phones are essentially worthless, so there’s no point stealing or selling them.

And cell service isn’t all that expensive to run, so it’s priced to what people will pay

Oh, I was talking about the tech-bros. They’re the ones who shouldn’t have access to sci-fi, or at least not the cautionary tales

I’m genuinely disturbed that people would even consider this

We have running water and paper towels, why would you dirty the puppy?!??

Ok, I’ve had it.

Every county seems to be actively trying to create their own distopia this year

From now on, no sci-fi until you can pass a reading comprehension test.

I started getting emails about meetings I’m invited to but never show up to, which was kinda helpful. Except it was just the first few bullet points, you had to click for the full meeting notes

So one day I did, and it somehow grabbed my info from Microsoft, created an account, and invited itself to the meeting. All without showing me the summary, because I didn’t really want to set up an account

Now there’s two agents listening to the weekly meeting.

Propaganda works. Yeah, people are stupid, but if you spend decades destroying education and teaching disinfo, well… The results are predictable

You can hate them all you like, but you do have to look at the problem logically if you want to fix it
