  • AI can put together all that personal data and create very detailed profiles on everyone, automatically. From that data, an Ai can add a bunch of attributes that are very likely to be true as well, based on what the person is doing every day, working, education, gender, social life, mobile data location, bills etc etc.

    This is like having a person follow every user around 24 hours per day, combined with a psychologist to interpret and predict the future.

    It’s worth a lot of money to advertisers of course.

    Don’t worry about it. If you don’t post anything they disagree with (and most people don’t), you will not be annoyed by them.

    If you have only mainstream opinions, you will be fine. You don’t question mainstream science, you think everyone needs to vaccinate for the public good, and so on. Nothing strange for the majority.


  • Unhealthy because there is no feeling of hope? I’m OK with that actually. Life is still alright. But I don’t think we actually can change anything important.

    Yes, there are ebbs and flows. Sometimes bad people are in charge, sometimes good. And sure, sometimes some very charismatic person is also a good one, and manages to make things a bit better.

    But the overall trend is not towards humanity being free of debt slavery, or wars, or greed and power.
