7. That whole industry needs regulation

It’s way worse than the data centres. Extrapolating from their ways irl, this is not a crowd that is good at asking for permission. And they are shallow enough to think some ridiculous accelerationist leap with no connection to the world as it was 5,10,15,20 years ago is not something to negotiate over, but to force or thwart in ways you wouldn’t. Failing to get the concept of individual or community.

I am planning to file complaints: 1) locally in my country about all the encroachment and other outrageous stuff I am sure took place between Dec 2012 and the present here (exploiting my home/personal devices/health and other data…unfuckingbelievable. As if I would volunteer for stupid crap to get dragged into rubbish I have no interest in anywhere) and 2) against my last employer. But I am in it for the long run.

It’s not money I am interested in. It’s the right to learn for your own earning potential or recreation but without a forced interaction that one is supposed to delicately ignore.

Though hopefully oversight and such clear repudiation of what’s being done, will send them a message if it hasn’t done so. At least as long as any ill-conceived projects are axed now leaving only the system’s obligations. It’s not my job beyond giving info to people who will take it seriously purely as a public spirited citizen who thinks that it is not schizophrenic to see how scammy these guys are.

This is a snoopy enough crew anywhere that I am sure they would know even if they pretended not to. The banality of evil.
It’s too depressing.


Thank you..you guys here on DU for being a grassroots group I knew to whine to. It’s the only one I know. Some comment on atomization or something but whatever.

It’s such mechanical thinking and that’s not a compliment. That’s not good science.

I am building my own “web” in the sense that if that framing is to be applied to reality, it still would at each level be consistent with the nature of a thing or person. I have to go work but I am often indignant about just how bad these guys’ ideas are and how unforgettably stupid their worldviews are so that you have to actively relearn not to think like that or be trapped in an endless if else loop of who, what and why am I and mostly crossing off exhaustively what one is not as that is easier.

I mean I check the broad boxes -public sector, science etc but after that it’s not that straightforward. Anyway I have to go work.


I am sorry to be so odd in my posts. But this is not even my field. I am pragmatic within reason and I don’t want to do this superficial internet pattern finding and prediction etc.
There was so much personal collateral damage and how am I to fit generic legal stuff or professional or anything.

These Google etc guys. They are complete idiots. They cause so much damage.
Anyway..thanks DU.
I hate peopel thinking that the way I feel about Google is who I am. I really was just leading a lame life and wth man..
