We are living in the construction of a massive-wide #AI fueled #surveillance system where we will become panopticon subjects that will 'behave' in a certain way.
This forced behavior will define who we are because of the cascading effect of the self-regulation of panopticon subjects.
I am also certain that these systems are fickle and not immune to being 'gamed'.
Lots of promises of good behavior, safe spaces, and just mindless acceptance of rule.
But there is no creation of safe spaces by surveillance.
The products will be pushed, the profits will be made, and the promises will be demonstrated.
Is this some kind of totalitarianism that is totally controlling of humans? Surprisingly, probably not.
Profits and financial speculation are sustained by shortsightedness and pillaging of the public and common good.
It's all fickle and all-assuming and there will always be opposition to this.
The threat of automated panopticonism is real, and great powers will attempt to shape the world in its own image.
But humans are creative, and we 'hack' through life and always manipulate our environments through our existence.
Humans will always find a way to circumvent this system. The hackers ethic - we all have it in us to understand and manipulate something to our own desires.
Nothing is complete, and nothing is ever 100% secure and accurate.
There will always be noise.
Embrace this noise; it creates the paths outside of this panopticon.
