An Old Utilitarian Governance Technique Revitalized for Data Centers

#1

Currently reading a book about philosophical radicalism during the Enlightenment period, found this concept (artificial identification of interest) utilized in Utilitarianism by our good friend Jeremy Bentham and his ilk to trick knaves like us to do what they deem the greatest good…Seems a perfect fit for why the investment of trillions of dollars in data centers to gather information about the populace.
The panopticon using data, instead of Jeremy’s beloved prison building design.

Ironically the above was AI generated…:rofl:

Here’s the book where the idea was found.

… along similar lines … look into the claim that the images obtained from Guthrie’s (disconnected and non paid subscription) NEST ring camera were obtained “from the back end”. Spoiler alert … did you really think that they were not spying on us? Put this together with the Ring Super Bowl Search Party find your dog ad … they are just about there with the AI Panopticon.

Excellent… /whisper: Have these gentlemen seek me out at the Prancing Pony…where I’ll be enjoying a long smoke with the owner, Butterbur. Seek me out in the corner of the room…Taller than some, fairer that most :slight_smile:

I’ve heard of this but didn’t watch the game. It’s getting a good amount of negative press:

This guy reminds a bit of ol’ Remus from the Woodpile Report… perhaps more boisterous and a bit less studied.

… the NEST appears even more insidiously evil. Records and stores whether you pay or not. According to techno folks … it appears once it is in its always in and on.

Little did we realize what life was like for the Jetson cartoon household. The downside was not included in the dialogue.
