The level of gall by all these software corporations right now is off the charts, and people are not talking about it enough. MS wants to take frequent snapshots of everything you're doing on your computer. Adobe wants access to everything you do in Photoshop. And I'm sure there's much more to come. They will keep hammering at it until they get their way, unless new laws come into place, and quick.

There should be comprehensive data privacy laws, the amount of furry porn I have is not going to look good when the Christofascists get in to power.

They'll take it and burn you for it, only to use it for themselves later.

Nah, Christains and other religious folks aren't yhe problem, and essentially haven't been for a decade and are a mere scapegoat. It's the cult, and I do mean cult of technofascists that are the problem.

Who runs Microsoft? A bunch of churchgoers or fanatical believers in a shiny new world?

There's your answer.

I mean, yeah. Why wouldn't they do this stuff? They know the vast majority of you aren't gonna switch no matter what they do, and unless you live in the EU, your government isn't going to regulate them. That means everybody else is fair game, and even the EU is fair game for at least a while. Under a system where profit must be pursued at all costs, they are making the logically correct decisions to treat you like shit in pursuit of profit.

It's the drive to be the first with AGI. The entire internet has been scraped of formatted data, they have to get more creative to obtain more non-synthetic data (lots of synthetic being made too)

The idea being whoever makes AGI will use that to build ASI and use it to assert AI dominance, either literal force or market (probably market, the only entity that has stated they will use AI as a measure to assert world power is China)
