We are in an age where the technology of oppression gives the rich the feeling that they are above consequences. That people can be controlled in a way they will not be able to break free from. Malicious AI swarms are only one manifestation of technology which gives incredible leverage to a handful of people. Incredible amounts of information are collected, and an individual AI agent per person watching for disobedience is becoming more and more possible. Companies like Clearview already scour the internet for any public pictures and associated public opinions and offer a facial recognition database with political opinions to border patrol and police agencies. If you go to a protest, border patrol knows. Our government intelligence has outsourced functions to private companies like Palantir. Privatizing intelligence means intelligence capabilities in private hands, that might sound tautological, but if this does not make you fearful, then you did not fully understand. We have license plate tracking everywhere, cameras everywhere, mapped out "social graphs," and we carry around devices in our pockets that betray every facet of our personal lives. The vast majority of transactions are electronic, itemized, and tracked. When every location you visit is logged, interaction you have is logged, every associate you communicate with known, every transaction itemized and logged for query, and there is a database designed to join that data seamlessly to look for disobedience and the resources available to fully utilize that data, then how do you mount a resistance if those people assert their own power? We are becoming dangerously close to not being able to resist those who own or operate the technology of oppression and it is very much outpacing the technology of resistance.
