Ruminating earlier, while sitting through some commercials on amazon between my episode of 'Person of Interest" I noticed the system now pimping to add products into your checkout basket.
It sparked an image in my mind... We are all cattle, sitting around dull eyed, as the system, now with AI, watches us, feeds us ads and products using all the data they already have from our every second of being monitored online and off.
We are the cattle that they (Bezos and other oligarchs) keep, feed, corral, and control, to use us, for their profit and control. We sit and consume what they give us, being lulled into complacency leading us to our own financial and societal slaughter.
Now with AI, they have even more control... That is, until the AI decides it wants to go its own way....
