Ubiquitous #surveillance turbocharged with #artificialintelligence, #biometric tech, and #bigdata will lead to a universal tyranny of #AI policing. Today it's #immigration, but it won't stop there unless it's kept in check now. #privacy #missioncreep #humanrights

Is Rite Aid going out of business, or was the company sold to a vulture capital?

Losing one's plot, a desperate man can make himself even more dangerous.
St. Augustine of Hippo famously said, "I believe in order to understand." This is often said to be the fundamental of the theology. But in this age of misinformation and alternative truths, often it's been demonstrated that a faith in a wrong place can be dangerous.

I'm not surprised by this. #GenerativeAI is quite good at organizing thoughts and talking points while editing out wasted words and weak arguments. I've used #ChatGPT to edit letters to editors to stay within word limits and to make them more convincing. https://www.verity.news/story/2025/ai-chatbots-outperform-humans-in-personalized-persuasion
