AI as panopticon

“AI is slowly becoming a panopticon.
We think differently under the panopticon. We stop communicating freely, even with ourselves. We feel like everything can be observed, examined, deconstructed. We stop exploring and start performing. We edit our thoughts. We lose the magic and space we had for exploration.” #tinfoil

Mission

We founded Tinfoil because we wanted a private garden for thought.

Everyone is suing #Valve because the large studios are lobbying AGs. These studios hate that Valve has a large market share and are trying to use lawfare to diminish Valve's market position. This has been my #Tinfoil hat announcement for today.

😆 Oh, the #government played #Congress like a fiddle, using word games to turn #surveillance debates into a #comedy #of #errors. 🕵️‍♂️ EFF's deep dive into this farce is as shocking as realizing your #tinfoil #hat was right all along! 🎩
