I am SHOCKED that making Grok "unwoke" literally turned it into, in its own words, Mechahitler.

ICE’s surveillance app is a techno-authoritarian nightmare | Moustafa Bayoumi

Mobile Fortify lets agents obtain vast amounts of information on anyone by scanning their face

After taking someone’s picture, an ICE agent can now scan for that person’s face or fingerprints in a host of government databases that reportedly include more than 200 million images. The agent will immediately obtain vast amounts of information on that person, including name and date of birth, possible citizenship status, names of family members, markers like alien registration numbers and much more.

ICE is reportedly using the app on people it suspects of being in the country without authorization, but this presumption comes with its own host of problems. (ICE is also believed to be scanning random people of color on the streets to determine citizenship.) Representative Bennie G Thompson, the ranking member of the House homeland security committee, told 404Media that ICE considers “an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify [to be] a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship – including a birth certificate – if the app says the person is an alien”.

It gets worse. In a document obtained by 404Media, the government admits that “it is conceivable that a photo taken by an agent using the Mobile Fortify mobile application could be that of someone other than an alien, including US citizens or lawful permanent residents”. No one, citizen or non-citizen, is allowed to opt out, either. And, as the document states, “[e]very new photograph or fingerprint, regardless of match, is an encounter and stored and retained in ATS [Automated Targeting System] for 15 years”.

Are we being ruled by drug addicts?

The video is both disturbing and terrifying. The excessive power granted to individuals who act with impunity is the fault of the politicians we elected. Like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel's immense wealth gives him a feeling of invulnerability and control over everything, making him feel untouchable.

The internet could've been a totally futuristic transhumanist hyperrealist peek into a genderless, all inclusive, all loving, nourishing society where you can learn anything, be anything, share cultures, and provide for one another but instead we got corporate slop capitalizing on our attention, our insecurities, and our subconscious desire for that community.

My car might crap out at any moment (but it's an older model so it's been staying strong so far, it's just old) so I have been saving for a while. And for a while, I briefly fantasized about getting a new car, and an electric car even though this little town does not have charging stations, but no, I will be getting a used older car again, not just for the price, but I don't want a smart car. I want a car any mechanic can fix without a CS degree or infringing on some tech bro's IP and paying a huge fee. And also I want a car the police and ICE can't remotely disable by accessing my "smart" car's brain and turning it off.

I know you’ve heard this before but please, please be “cringe”. Be creative, write stuff, draw stuff. Do cosplay. Make music. Engage with the things you’re passionate about even if it feels embarrassing and imperfect. IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT TECHNOFASCISM

I used to think techno feudalism was in the near future

I was wrong

It's in the early stages

This is what the Trump reelection was all about

I knew it was bad

I had no idea
