AI Surveillance and Social Progress - Schneier on Security
www.schneier.com
In the near future, AI-powered surveillance systems will be able to track everything we do in public, and much of what we do in private. And if we do something wrong—shoplift, litter, jaywalk, you name it—the system will notice, retain it, tie it to your official government record, communicate that fact to you, and provide real-time alerts to any relevant authorities… and maybe also to the general public. Think of these systems as automated speed cameras, but on steroids. Only they’ll enforce not just speed limits, but any other rule you can imagine. And you won’t receive a ticket weeks later by mail; you’ll be informed about and fined for your violation immediately...

    the US Department of Homeland Security is rapidly increasing its use of AI-based surveillance, including facial recognition and the monitoring of social media accounts, to keep tabs on immigrants, dissidents, journalists, legal observers and protesters

    This is such total bullshit. You don’t have to be ANY of these types of people to be in the tracked and monitored. These systems are built for cruelty. Being cruel to the most innocent among generates is the most powerful source of emotional pain.

    AI is an automated narcissism machine built and managed by narcissists of the highest order. Anti social disorder, narcissistic personality disorder and sometimes borderline personality disorder types depending on the severity. Cluster B personality disorders. All of these share traits with narcissistic personality disorder, while the narcissist may not be violent whereas anti socials (psychopaths) tend to be violent. They’re all proficent in weaponzing language (word trickery).

    IMHO The mythical vampire is a metaphor for the narcissist. Instead of blood, narcissists thrive on the emotions of their victims, mainly negative emotions. This is their lifeblood, it is their supply.

    Social media is the playground of the narcissist. – Moira, Schitts Creek

    Based on what I’ve read from self proclaimed narcissists online, they don’t have to be near the victim to feed on the victim’s emotions. Using words to inflict emotional pain is how they operate. Gas lighting, double speak, double think, selective memory, mixing truth with lies, compulsive lying, deflecting, and overall mirroring their truselves onto their victim. Apparently, whenever the narcissist inflicts suffering with their words, they experience pleasure. I’ve read it’s sometimes a physical pleasure but generally mental pleasure.

    To end this, you’d be hard pressed to find an online source for narcissistic abuse assistance. I’ve only ever discovered that someone who is a narcissistic abuse recovery “therapist” or “advocate” is a narcissist themselves. This is how they operate, in the shadows, in plain sight, always presenting themselves as a savior. Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
