Day three of Trump's term and the largest push for surveillance capitalism yet has been made: Project Stargate will be a $500.000.000.000 (500 billion USD) data center used for running a multitude of AIs with the purpose of spying on you.
Larry Ellison, the world's second richest man and CEO of Oracle, one of the main partners of Stargate, said:
“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on [...]. We're using A.I. to monitor the video.”

This is who is in power now. This is the vision they have.

I was wondering who would see a 500B business case for AI, but the public-private surveillance industry makes perfect sense.
@winfriedtilanus In hindsight, this was fully obvious. We were promised medicine, better logistics, less labor, and got the devaluing of all global art of all forms, more inhumane weaponry, and surveillance systems beyond what we've previously thought possible.
