Haha! This us why i never ask it to do anything serious.

They denied your passport? That is like literally the highest level of ID you can present! Holy fuck!

There was a time when people online prided themselves on being super foul mouthed…

Yes, like the farting monkey i made who uses his farts as a means of jet propulsion… the art world will never be the same.

I will be a happy man if they also lost all data and all chats permanently… meaning my chats are gone. Not that that I said anything embarrassing, but I like my privacy.

If you want to know, some of the things I asked chatgpt were sarcastic questions like ‘why won’t Bill Gates buy me lunch?’ Or ‘how do you know i am not Jack the ripper?’ Or ‘write a scenario where Mr. Bean joins the bomb squad and is tasked with disarming a bomb left by thr unabomber?’

I think people don’t realize just how dangerous this shit is until they have been affected in some noticeable way, and even then they will not link just how the incredible amount of surveillance they are under every day is the cause of it.

I worked in tech support for 7 years, and one thing that will never cease to astonish me is how tech illiterate people are. Do you have any idea how many people called me and demanded that I make modifications to their account and refused to tell me any verifying information? While some might have been malicious actors , most aren’t. Most of them were genuinely expecting me to do everything for them and they wouldn’t even tell me what their name is. They fully expected that somehow we would already know they are just from them calling…

Some of them called me on a number not recognized by the system but they fully expected me to pull up their account (fucking how?) Without any information at all.

When you have worked in this field long enough you will know why there is so little effective opposition to all this shit. It is not just because they dont give a damn if we are literally in a 1984 scenario with active cameras and microphones in people’s homes, but they just dont understand what that really means. Even younger people who grew up with these devices from early childhood don’t fully understand just how much they are being observed. If anything Gen Z and Gen Alpha are more fucked since they are the first generation of people whom the algorithms and data brokers have had some profile on since early childhood.

As an elder millennial who grew up in a techie family with computers from childhood. I am fortunate in that they have nothing on me from early childhood to teen years. By the time I hit 20 the internet was still too chaotic and underdeveloped and algorithms weren’t the norm yet (and I was never a Google guy to begin with). But people born within the last 10 years can’t have that privilege.

The UK experienced a major data breach with all their government info from their ID checks not long after the law kicked in. How many fucking data breaches do we need before people catch on?

When you are carded at a club the staff doesn’t scan your card and keep it on file. They simply look at it and return it.

As someone who worked similar jobs and would have had to look at tons of IDs every day I can assure, I dont have the time or interest in remembering all of them.

He looks like a dead fish.

Bullshit, the LLMs I prompted have more humanity than him!

Not only that, but a poorly paid and mistreated guy who volunteers to sell out major secrets.

My Webcam is in my bedroom but that’s because that is where my computer is. However it is unplugged as I said. It’s also an old as fuck one I got more than 10 years ago so hackers can’t do fuck with it if it is unplugged.

Android Debug Bridge? Please tell me I got it right!

Well I mean if you have a picture of yourself and your kids, or just of your kids, or your kids playing with their friends (other kids) that counts as highly suspicious since you have a lot of kid pics meaning you probably have child porn somewhere or maybe you are using them to train a LORA for an AI ‘art’ generator to make porn of those kids…

I’m going to stop there. But ANYTHING CAN BE TWISTED AGAINST YOU! I MEAN ANYTHING! I had that happen to me many times in my life.

Even I wasn’t that dumb. This is because when I first started using the internet for actual reading I knew that websites would always be going down and some exist for only brief periods of time. While this is no longer the case for major sites, that mindset never left me. The internet can forget at times.

I haven’t used AI for any serious coding… yet… but shit like this is why I must use exceptional caution.

I guess even in authoritarian police states where the government will disappear or execute you for any opposition businesses still get away with being assholes.

I heard years ago that it was done partially to allow the UK to be turned into a tax haven or some such dodgy shit.

Also automation is getting better and better all the damn time. The only reason why we haven’t hit 30 hour workweek is due to declining unions and and exploitation politics.

I learned that China had basically made this shit illegal years ago, but work hours in China are still insane. I am willing to bet that they will still have incredible growth and prosperity even if those workhours are strictly enforced.

People like this dipshit need to be stripped of all possessions and wealth and immured alive.
