Thanks so much for including Big Sis in your psyop comedy trio, Chris! I hadn't seen the other two before, but they were entertaining to watch. Very nicely curated!
FF - We know it's a multi-billion dollar investment effort to integrate AI cameras with all data that's in ALL databases, everywhere. Even your FitBit and Alexa, your car's active listening, eye detection like in the link from above comment. Gym membership. Library. Social Media. Internet surfing. Grocery purchases. Phone calls between family and friends. Ring cameras. All databases, integrated. Worldwide Social Credit Industry. Public-private partnerships, government-corporate. Not conspiracy. Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway's BusinessWire says so:
"The COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated substantial interest in citizen monitoring solutions
--Infrastructure to support social credit systems represents a $16.1B global opportunity by 2026
--Cameras and other optical equipment for social credit systems will reach $723M globally by 2026
--Advanced computing will be used in conjunction with AI to provide nearly flawless identification and tracking
--Social credit systems represent the ability to identify (mostly people but also some "things") and track activities for purposes of grading behaviors and applying "social credit" scoring. A given grading/scoring methodology depends largely on social credit system objectives and metrics.
However, most systems will have socially acceptable behaviour at their core. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity as a combination of government, companies, and society as a whole must determine "good", "bad", and "marginal" behavior within the social credit market.
Beginning as a trend largely orthogonal to public safety and homeland security concerns, the market for social credit system infrastructure will ultimately become a mainstream component of both business and public policy."
FF - Have you heard of GigaPan AI Imaging? Interactive high-density gigapixel imaging technology. Consumer-facing, not military-industrial level sophistication. But still high-tech:
FF - Notice that date. Thirteen years ago. The earliest images on the website go back to 2011. This is 15-year-old imaging technology. In 2011 Apple released its iPhone 4S to much fanfare. Today's iPhone 17 ProMax is the latest technology. Difference in technological performance is exponential. Same has happened in digital imaging. And, remember, this is consumer-facing. Military/Intelligence/LEO-facing is even more advanced.
For kicks and grins I took that GigaPan image from Barcelona in 2013 and zoomed in on some balconies far off in the distance to see what could be seen. Here's a montage of what is viewable on consumer-facing digital imaging cameras using 15yo technology. I zoomed and screenshot to show where this particular balcony I found is on the image:
(I just scrolled down to very bottom left of it, look for the yellow taxi on the road, there's a small black compact car with its sunroof open behind a burgundy SUV with NY license plate that begins with "DNN" - notice the family inside the car laughing it up, and the street surveillance camera just over them. They probably would notice the overhead camera, not the camera taking their picture from across the East River.)
Pair those images (with fifteen years more advanced digital imaging technology) with AI facial recognition software. Here's the consumer versions of AI facial recognition software available. Doxxers use these tools. Military/Intelligence/LEO-grade versions are much more sophisticated, not available to consumers:
Combine the camera technology, the AI facial recognition technology with the Worldwide Social Credit System being developed to "make sure we behave" and it's all there, right now, available to the public-private government/corporate authorities/leaders. But it's missing one big, one very big component to being the dystopian threat to humanity that many of us are uncomfortable with. And that's the ability to capture and crunch ALL that data from ALL those databases with ALL the digital images (and audioprints) to be an ever-present dystopian surveillance threat the alarmists are sounding the alarm over. And that is: AI Data Centers.
AI Data Centers have been deemed so important to our existence to warrant the new construction of and recommissioning of nuclear power plants. Once deemed existential threats to humanity themselves. So important that Bill Gates has come out saying Climate Change fears are overblown, disproportionate to the threat. Think AI Data Centers are that important just to make sure that Amazon and Walmart can better predict their Just-in-Time inventory systems, make them more efficient? Or to let grandma have a digital chat friend after losing grandpa?
Or...AI Data Centers are the necessary component of making all of the data that exists in all of the databases around the nation/world, including digital images like Ring Cameras or Beach/Ski cameras showing conditions (and who is at the beach or skiing) into patterns available for real-time analysis and tracking. AI Data Centers are the necessary component of a Minority Report 24/7 dystopian surveillance state with "Pre-Crime" units authorized to 'police' actions and even thoughts just like in the movie. And this is who is developing the AI Data Center systems and technology. And protocols. And saying what "crimes" are. Not your values, are they?:
This coming for the world. Unless we as free, sovereign human beings refuse to give it our consent. En masse. The writing is on the wall. Our moment is fleeting. If we do not act today, pressure those in power to protect our privacy and our freedoms as being non-negotiable we will rue the future, the lost opportunity we have been called upon to take. It's not just about us. Are we the generation that loses human dignity, freedom? Remember, it's about them:
Did you click the Gigapixel samples? Drill down most magnified details? Technology over fifteen years old, vast improvements since. And this is just consumer-facing.
We just bought a new dishwasher, and ruled out every one that was smart. No, I don't need to give the CIA the ability to watch my dishes being washed, thank you very much.
A meaningless aside…am I the only one who noticed in the “Covid” video at 55 seconds in the ear of the useless eater’s ear what appears to be a black earbud but then it quickly disappears…things that make you go hmmm. 🤔

Technology will never set you free. Louis XIV was a symbol of absolutism. His absolute monarchy interfered less with the daily life of French citizens than our own government in the "free" nation of the USA. Why? Our government has the size and tools to do so.
1700 French government spent 10% of their GDP. Now it is 50%. US government spending is 36% of GDP.
The technology to control people has also become comparatively cheaper.
Hi Christopher! You , as usual, nailed this with brilliance. Made me (ruefully ) laugh. I did not get the C-vax. Thank goodness I live away from the urban areas in my Elder yrs. Great job!
Excellent selection Christopher.. have they rebooted Yes Minister ? I loved the old series and shared heaps of clips on X back in the day ( a year ago )
All very fun-pokey, and get the point across! Btw, the second one on Climate Change is from a British TV show made in the 1980s called “Yes, Minister.”
I think my parents watch that. They watch a ton of British TV (albeit mostly the mysteries). So was I right—did the writers/BBC make him the “villain” of the show—his “right-wing” views portrayed as absurd, for comedic effect?
I never watched that show so I can’t say! Politics was beyond me at the time, so I avoided it; I didn’t have any interest. Funny, though: I did Gov’t & Politics at A-level and somehow got a B!
One is far better off avoiding politics! I did partisan politics for years, and it is exhausting.
Now, I focus on philosophy, the future, and a quest for what is right. And in my heart, I have replaced day-to-day political reindeer games with apple trees and honeybees and snow-white turtle doves. And hope rather than despair.
> And indeed, that is the point. They are criminalizing your existence—the air you breathe, the food you eat, and the energy you use. And they are stealing billions of dollars from you in the process.
Trillions. With a T.
They are devils.
> Is Palantir just a new face for the same unblinking eye?
Yes.
I don't embrace it, but at this point, I'm not at all sure we're avoiding the panopticon under any circumstances. :-/
Love the smirk on his face when he says “it’s only for two weeks”.
Oh, THAT one was just perfection, undergirded by the British accent...
💯

Glad you enjoyed, and thank you for your work!
Don't think for a moment that Ford and Palantir will be independent.
Or any 'smart' technology, anywhere. Ring cameras, FitBits, street light cameras, refrigerators, you name it. Orwell only lacked imagination.

I was looking at rural land today. Really rural. Gets more attractive by the minute.

Rural safe?
They even want it for every square inch of the world, including inside the Amazon jungle with tree-penetrating radar imaging.
What can one do?
I already live in the sticks, Christopher, after nearly 40 yrs in big cities. The sticks is where I want to be.
That's the place to be!
I want no "smart " appliances in my home...get outta here...I remain rather primitive...

A couple of real gems here. Love a good laugh, so much more enjoyable than crying.
Please don’t cry.
Too bad the world can’t see the obvious like this. Looks like Ireland is getting it together though - good for them!!
Ireland getting their dear IRE up! Good!

Thanks I hate it!
Bang on, friend. Bang on.

Excellent selection Christopher.. have they rebooted Yes Minister ? I loved the old series and shared heaps of clips on X back in the day ( a year ago )
That's where back in the day is now I think... 🤔
“Excellent selection Christopher..”

“have they rebooted Yes Minister?”
—I do not know. I did not watch the original.
