I feel scared. Very scared. Internet-wide surveillance and censorship, enabled by the unimaginably vast computational power of artificial intelligence (AI), is here. This is not a futuristic dystopia. It’s happening now.
NSA has been using Big Data to spy on us since its founding in 1946. NSA built the web to spy on us. Spying is the sole solitary unique purpose of the web. NSA has been using highly advanced AI to analyze its spying since 1980. This is not secret. It’s perfectly open and perfectly well known.
If you think any of this is new or surprising, you’re a fucking idiot. If you think the purpose of the web is “freedom” or “open debate”, you’re a fucking idiot.
