LOL. I like it. reads a bit like "First they came for the..."
As a "not broke yet" (by British standards) computer scientist, having
jumped all these hoops and many more, I'm just wondering what the next
ominous step is?
I fear this ends like:
You're broke in 2048 with a CS degree, PhD in DSP and a successful
research career in signals and systems - because you didn't throw all
human values to the wind and join a cabal of psychopathic technical
elites hell-bent of subverting the entirety of science and technology
to an infantile, omnipotent project of world-domination that
ultimately added no value, screwed the entire planet and human race.
(and for those also with PhDs in ML/DSP smugly working for the Empire,
and thinking "I'm safe", your turn comes when abject obedience is
insufficient to save you from the sinking ship)
