AI = Fascism

Wait how are we defining most? I would imagine most models out there aren't flagship models with billions backing them or with data centers. Most models seem to be specific domain small training models made with somewhat insignificant resources in comparison to flagship models.

20 years ago things weren’t so shit

In 2000 the whole data hording apparatus hadn't been fully implemented yet, and AI surveillance was something more so seen as science fiction, nothing to worry about until possibly 2100. Sure there was some data collection but it wasn't like billions of people were walking around with surveillance tech in their pocket 24/7. Things have changed and drastically. Methods to monitor, model, predict, and control human behavior are now a thing and quite robust. If only people were aware of what's happening there would be a mass migration to secure hardware, OS's, comms, and of course not a single cloud based always on assistant in sight. IOT devices are cool when they are secure but they often get the least attention, few if any security updates. If you can get rid of robot vacuumes, smart home assistants, smart TVs, smart thermostats, switch to secure FOSS OS's on your computer and phone.

You can point a laser at someone's window and accurately record their keystrokes from the sound vibrations. Things go deep in the surveillance and intelligence world. Nothing is truly and absolutely secure, just more difficult to crack.

They think they are making a point but its embarrassing!

I prefer countries that don't tip and just pay their employees a reasonable wage. Also when did the tip jump from 15% customary to 25% to 35% minimum? Anyways they're right, vote with your dollars to not be a customer of establishments abusing the tip system to pay their employees slave wages. Maybe last note, as far as I'm aware if tips don't make up the difference the employer is legally inclined to pay their staff at least minimum wage in most places.

They can but it's unusual. They have an honor system and expect people to quit. They'll go as far as sticking people in a room with nothing to do and not able to sleep until they give up, essentially adult time out.

Most Dangerous Jobs

Sidebar, averages sometimes aren't the best way to tell the story. Like crab fishing in the Caribbean? Not so dangerous. Crab fishing in Alaska? More dangerous. Cop in a small town that hasn't had a murder in over 50 years? Not so dangerous. Cop in an area with heavy gang activity and drug sales? More dangerous.
