@ai6yr

Of course they are.
You cannot spell Panopticon without the letters A and I.

@ai6yr I have been drinking energy drinks since they first hit the scene so I reckon I am an X-tremeist. I put the RAD in radical.
This connects to data center developers routing around local control. In Hood County TX, counties lack zoning authority to block development. When communities can't contest 1GW+ campuses through normal political channels, the conflict escalates. The social license to build at this scale is eroding faster than the power supply can grow.
@durabilitycurve But what will Hood County do when people move away from the noise and pollution? That giant slab of concrete isn’t going to pay local taxes.

@ai6yr Again, it looks the USA cares much more for it’s companies than it’s citizens.

This is the character I’ve always assigned to it. It’s shopfront for business with a state associated.

@gimulnautti @ai6yr This, my friends, is regime.
@ai6yr Flock is the tip of the iceberg. I know many cops and almost all are decent people, but the temptation to go full Staci or SAVAK is to great a temptation

@cvvhrn @ai6yr The USA has the Stasi, just privatized.

@ai6yr too soon. give it time, though.
@ai6yr Wanted for questioning:
@ai6yr Domestic Violent Extremists (DVEs) are likely interested in targeting migrants, LGBT+, POC, and critics of the President.

@ai6yr

This shows exactly who the police are really there to protect.

@ai6yr it's all linked to Palantir spying on citizens globally
@ai6yr
Hey Philly
#AI is a bullshit fountain
