Digital ID verification for Twitter? Universal basic income for all due to AI adoption? Transport-as-a-service (TaaS) after we cannot afford to drive our own vehicles, or are banned from driving?
Thank you for this well ordered, comprehensive exposure of Musk, the leading priest of Actual Ignorance, Aka, Artificial Intelligence, that he wishes to sacrifice his meager meaning of life to.
He has been doing that since I have been tracking him over the years with sucking money from the tax payers instead of selling cars.
Tesla never having made a profit selling cars from Musk becoming CEO 2008 until 2021--what profits came were from carbon credits. He was a sham then and is a sham now.
Tesla finally made a profit without the help of emission credits
I have never trusted Elon Musk as far as I could kick him. Everyone is so desperate for a hero to do their heavy freedom-lifting for them that they practically canonized him for buying Twitter. That buy wasn't a principled act. It was a strategic one.
Do you know how hard Twitter still sucks? I posted a Thomas Jefferson quote--and nothing else--on Twitter a couple of years ago and got suspended for it. (To restore my "privileges" they want my phone number, which they can't have.) Twitter permanently suspended David Kingsley, who runs the Neural NeXus blog on Substack. He writes about biotech: things like IVF, AI, AlphaFold-3, and medical device and drug breakthroughs for humans and animals. There's nothing remotely political or even controversial about his content. I've never read his Twitter submissions, but in his Substack blog he takes extreme care to avoid politics. He presents both the upside and the problematic side of whatever he's covering. That fair-minded neutrality is one reason I subscribe. Why was he suspended from X? Who knows? He sure as hell doesn't, because no human at X has bothered to step in and tell him. The AI cited the TOS without saying what content allegedly violated it. He wrote a post about the experience here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-139941005?source=queue and I found reading it absolutely infuriating by proxy.
To get a taste of how miserable it will be when the parasite class's human-free world really takes off, try calling even a small local business these days. If you enjoy listening to the veterinary clinic in your 1,500-person town pretend it has different departments, and if you like being forced to press a button to pick between them even though there's only one secretary ever on duty there; or if you love it when the phone company's fake-chirpy computer-generated voice-recognition software greets you by name but then makes you identify yourself twenty-seven different ways before it connects you to a person, who also makes you ID yourself: If you enjoy that accountability-free, hands-off, keep-the-customer-at-the-maximum-possible-distance status quo, you'll love how your presumptive overlords will employ AI in the future. The human race is going to be sorry AF that it ever embraced AI to do anything but make pretty pictures on command.
That is a strange story about David Kingsley's Twitter suspension.
All the captchas and emailed verification codes lately ramping up from everything I use from bottled water delivery to online shopping platforms - not something I'd opted in for or enabled, and not something I can disable or opt out for. It seems we are being slowly groomed for biometrics and forced 2FA requiring a mobile phone number or email address to participate in the digital world - soon to be augmented over physical reality. It's all heading towards no phone = no participation in the public square on/offline. I don't want a Twitter account but it's been made harder to access twitter without an account as a news feed now. Once they mandate KYC / ID scan / face scan I doubt many will bat an eyelid. Convenience begets compliance. Privacy and sovereignty are only prioritised by a minority.
I think that as with "covid," when the tyranny becomes so clear that even the sheep start to notice it, things will change. Alternatives are already becoming more popular. I always thought the "think gobally, act locally" idea was a vapid hippie bromide, but here I am in retirement, raising chickens and cattle among other people who do the same, and we're all talking about self-sustenance. Our water and power come from wells and solar. We have gardens. We cooperate and help each other voluntarily and we all benefit. In short, we're living like humans are supposed to live: without victimizing each other.
There are accounts on Instagram (my only social media source) that advocate for the same, and I'm not talking about preppers stashing bulk goods in caves. To give just one example, there's fromthefarm.io, a supply chain app/website, where you can enter your zip code to find parallel economy, family-owned farm sources of meat and produce. In the US we're at a 1960 level of cattle inventory for a 2024 population, according to AJ Richards, who runs the site. People haven't noticed yet but they will, and when they do the momentum will start to shift because no one does anything until it affects them personally.
(Until I started planning my small cattle herd I didn't realize how invasive the government had gotten with its RFID tags on cattle. A safe meat supply is one thing; a surveilled supply that can be tracked, traced, and culled at the first hint of another bullshit virus is something else. You'd think the big national cattlemen's associations would oppose that, but they're totally on board. Complete sell-outs. R-Calf is the only cattlemen's group I know of that seems to understand or care about the implications.)

Get free, stay free.
Musk is a devious scoundrel and manipulator. - unprincipled. and without scruples.
