Another scary thing is Palantir who’d be all for the push for verification with them positioning themselves to make money off of it, and wanting to be responsible for collecting data on everyone. They already turned out to be a partner of Discord through Persona.

They’ve already pushed for government contracts even in Europe. And with how things look like with the US government how much confidence is there in the US government.

I’m not sure government involvement will lead to the type of outcome people think it will.

It’s more I’m skeptical of government intentions these days. And not like the US government venture into the area is going to fill me with confidence.

When it comes to social media for example I’ve seen more comments and headlines of people saying stuff like it should be banned for younger people, which of course would mean the need for verification. Something companies like Palantir or links to it like Persona see money there is to make from it. And pushing for government contracts not just in the US but in the EU.

And think of the children has been a go to strategy to try to get people onboard with general push to collect more information.

Ideally straight up banning loot boxes and classifying it as Casinos would be ideal to kill it off. I’m just worried that it’s going to instead turn into a justification used to require ID collection, since what people see as a solution and the actual goal of governments don’t often align.

It isn’t always that simple. It could lead to age verification requirements which might be the goal as opposed to banning loot boxes. Then what has people upset about discord wanting face scans or IDs could end up becoming a legal requirement for online gaming accounts that want to play games rated T and higher.

And this age verification thing has been getting pushed throughout the world with attempts at chat control in the EU and what’s already happened in the UK.

No not she. The copilot prompt told her to say that when she asked copilot make me a script that will make people think I’m not pro AI despite my background. Wouldn’t be surprised if she is a glorified newscaster reading copilot generated teleprompter.

What does the future hold?

Well Microsoft started shoving in copilot into more and more of their software from browser to even their notepad. And gamebar on Windows has…you guessed it…copilot.

And then they go and hire an AI affiliated person who likely hasn’t written anything themselves relying on copilot to churn out scripts.

The future is copilot gaming.

Devin Booker who is a NBA player recorded footage from the Olympics with an old camcorder and it looked really cool like being transported back in time.

So I can see why people like the look of it.

I noticed articles and social media topics are going really aggressive with we need to ban social media because it’s bad for kids, and bunch of comments advocating for verification. Which of course would mean what discord is attempting to do with IDs and face scans.

Which is so bizzare seeing the backlash to discord by real people, but then non discord related topics all pro about verification.

Why wouldn’t I assume someone who is advocating on behalf of infringing upon the independence of another country wouldn’t also argue for the same happening to their own country? Unless you happen to be a hypocrite who only cares if its their country being threatened?

I guess you don’t care about US interference in Alberta either as long as its peaceful. Peaceful conquest seems to be what you are fine with and will go to many lengths to justify its acceptance. Never mind consent of what the general population actually wants.

Maybe they are part of Gretzky group that thinks US invasion of Canada would be a peaceful act?

What you are more likely to see is having to create and log into a Microsoft account on Windows or Apple account on MacOS to gain unrestricted access with IDs for verified accounts to be used on the OS.

With recent attempts at ID collection, subpoenas to reddit demanding user information of those critical of the US admin, and Palantir’s involvement your proposal is coming from a position assuming those groups aren’t the ones pushing for it.

Nope makes no difference.

Yeah, accidental voting happens to me when I’m using my phone. Kind of inevitable unless someone uses an app where voting is done through pulling left or right as opposed to tapping.

Red flag is that it is an AI person hired for a game division who can’t even be trusted if any of their statements were generated through copilot, and they are nothing but a physical placeholder to mouth off copilot commands.

And this hiring coming from the company that has decided shoving copilot into as many different Microsoft products like notepad is the way forward. So a game account is nothing but meaningless fluff when even boomers play games on their phones. Playing games doesn’t show any signs of qualifications that indicate consumers will be better off.

Just more moves towards trying to shove AI integration to draw in investors.

Celebrities they worship are still on there so another reason they refuse to leave.

Gunpla and reading are really nice ways to pass the time.

It depends on material too. Algorithm makes recommendations based on similar video, and something like Star Wars for instance has a lot of angry conservatives ranting about it so can skew towards youtube recommendations including them in Star Wars content.

On the other hand searching Expanse is less likely to see those conservative rant channels, since not as much content like that is made for it.

So even though Expanse and Star Wars are scifi, viewing and searching both of them will have different levels of right wing centered media you are likely to be recommended.

And depending on topic of interest the ideology of the most popular channels which youtube promotes also dictates what you’ll be recommended even if you don’t watch the channel. Like if you search PC stuff LTT will always dominate the first few pages of search results.

Yeah, I like OS installed on separate drives and selecting the one I want to boot off of in BIOS. Gets trickier on laptop though that doesn’t have multiple drives.

Few powerful people deciding everything and millions falling in line and the few outliers being affected even if they opt out due to decisions of millions of others who support the few powerful sums up the world.

It makes sense now why in old scifi movies everything looked all dusty despite being the future.

Youtube is Google. I don’t see a positive to handing over personal information to Google which is necessary to give them money, and just makes it easier for Google to have all information tied to one signed in account. Having no Google account is best.
