The surveillance planet started long before AI. Adding AI to surveillance makes Orwell look like an optimist.

We can see AI being proposed everywhere. What we do not see is the productivity gains we were promised in the sales slide deck.

Who would trust Telegram for any communication if you cannot review their server side code? Nobody should be trusting encryption that is not on by default and might have other means of collecting metadata or actual data on the end use via the server.

This is all misdirection from the Epstein files and who knows what else. It's a CIA tactic that the White House has learned. People are here talking about aliens and Nancy Guthrie not arresting people for their involvement in Epstein's depravity.

They speak Spanish and recognize over 68 indigenous languages from the displaced tribes they conquered.

Europe is a continent, I suggest you look on a map. If you want to compare apples to apples North America is larger than Europe. Texas alone is larger than any single European country.

Building houses and cities destroys the natural beauty of the earth. Homeowners are a plague on humanity. Light pollution from houses and towns and cities destroys the night sky. This is not new, and it doesn't end well.

The Charms bar... Damn you for bringing back such a painful memory!!!

Id released DOOM the Dark Ages in 2025 on the PS5. It looks like Starfield has a pending Playstation release this year. Elder Scrolls 6 does look like a PC/Microsoft XBOX exclusive. Is there a document that confirms your claims of xbox/pc only for those companies? They claimed the opposite about exclusives, but it would not be the first time M$ lied.

Some of these people have no internet or laptop and getting a smartphone is their critical devices for email, job hunting, etc. I don't think people should get things they can't afford, but to some this is a critical device that serves a lot of purpose and a dumb phone isn't capable of much for many people.

Apple was providing their own commentary, scores/graphics, and deciding which camera angle the viewer would see as if it was a regular broadcast. Which it is not. Instead of feeling like a floor level seat it is another TV broadcast forcing your perspective. This adds expense and reduces the being there live experience he wanted. To my understanding this is a specialized broadcast not a TV show being viewed through the headset.

the ACA made the insurance world somewhat regulatable in that it became mandatory. Credit cards and banking are not forced on us by law.

I am pretty sure a company cannot have their profit margin mandated in the United States. That is unconstitutional. Usury laws have precedent from 1545 with Henry the VIII's usury act which was 10%. Prior secular concerns kept people from charging this interest at the religious level.

Some banks issuing the credit make up to 50% of their revenue on this interest (43-56%). JP Morgan is afraid of losing this revenue stream, as are all banks. But the media manipulates people into thinking this predatory practice is a necessity helping those financially troubled masses. The glass-steagall act should never have been repealed. Not that it directly dealt with interest rates on credit cards. Banks need to be regulated. They caused the Arm A loan meltdown by the repeal, they caused the great depression and so much more.

Yes, People were fine when other politicians on both sides of the aisle proposed this.
