The original research project this company looks based on was very cool and way early: https://sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/jammer/

we desperately need a separation of corporations and state the same way we have a separation of church and state.

we need a government that is antagonistic towards corporations that are abusing us.

it’s wild how much influence they have and how little pushback the government ever gives them when they clearly abuse us from every direction.

There's gotta be a record of you someplace

You gotta be on somebody's books

The lowdown a picture of your face

Your injured looks The sacred and profane

The pleasure and the pain

Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete

Obama was promoting The Age of Surveillance Capitalism over seven years ago now. Industry insiders have known all this since 1999. Yet almost every single person I know carries a cellphone and drives a car with telemetry, things that are entirely optional. Most humans use Meta products regularly; also optional. For all the feigned outrage, people want this, and will work hard every day to pay for the next iteration of the surveillance apparatus.

PS: Something in this vein that many people are unaware of is that the 6G standard for cell towers is planned to include ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication). I haven’t heard a single AFK person talk about this.

The EFF or some other watchdog should put out some public ads that depict corporations as a creepy person stalking someone:

It's a lot more disgusting and universally hated when you hear about a peeping tom, or a pervert, or a jealous ex hounding someone,

but when faceless corporations and governments do it to EVERYBODY 24/7, everyone's like, ehh.

I mean, right now, just think about me, clicking on your HN profile, googling your name, going through all your public photos.. Don't you find me repulsive just talking about that?

Honestly I can live with it because I know that my country will never turn into a theocracy or a dictatorship. That would require people to bow to a higher power than themselves and develop actual beliefs lol.

Everything you think will be recorded via neural decoding from your meta smart glasses and apple neural headsets in the near future.
