alt Hacker NewsWhy do you think AI won’t be a factor in how we’re controlled if our rights become stripped away and we’re increasingly surveilled? Or if violence is deployed by the state against its people with broader targeting? You seem to take for granted that nothing will change except maybe the flavor of rhetoric.
Oh I definitely think it will be a factor. I don’t mean to say that it won’t.
What I’m saying is that the general public is most obviously and personally impacted by their economic situation and job prospects.
Joe Citizen who lives by the rules might not even notice that new Flock camera on his street, but he will notice if he’s laid off from his job.
