Pokémon Go players thought they were catching Pikachus.
They were actually building the nervous system for robot civilization.
500M humans. 30B images. Zero consent forms.
The game was the harvest.

I haven't tried the same for Germany (or maybe no such channel exists), but this is exactly why there are now AI-generated Youtube channels with "memories of life in 1970s Britain" with AI generated pictures that are *scarily accurate* (maybe 10-15% is hallucinated but the rest is spot on), Meta has fed all the old photos that Gen X uploaded to Facebook to this AI training.
One one level it seems harmless, but the right wing activists are already using this to make false images of how 1970s Britain (especially outer London) was "whiter" (pure bullshit, it was multicultural even back then) as part of their anti-immigration agenda..
