Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.
This article seems a bit biased too… it’s weird. This one claims “AI powered tool to detect impaired driving” but that also doesn’t appear in the bill, so why does the writer bring up the AI boogeyman?
Plus it points out the NHTSA will make the rule (true) but then it somehow extrapolates that to “therefore they’ll make companies give your constant data away to the feds!” which… what? What about the NHTSA implies that?
And then it ends with a rant about the surveillance state. Which like, I’m not a fan of either but it feels like it falls on the side of fearmongering the OTHER direction.
I’m already pissed off the out AI chat/voice monitoring in call of duty. The chat was part of the fun Growing up. This whole nanny state bs needs to stop. If they add crap like this to vehicles I’m going to do every single thing possible no matter the cost to eliminate it.
COD chat way out of left field, but I am all for something that gets drivers in Chicago to stop driving 80 in 35mph zones and killing kids. Too many idiots in cars.
He’s mad he can’t scream racial slurs or tell people to commit suicide in multiplayer anymore without risk of getting instantly banned?
I have no idea why he thinks that is “fun” - it’s annoying having a bunch of squeaky voiced children screaming obscenities non-stop into their microphones, let alone grown adults.
I suspect that you’re exactly the kind of person that system was built to protect everyone against, that you recognize this, and that your distaste for the system stems entirely from your newfound inability to make others miserable rather than any high-minded concerns about privacy and surveillance.
Ah i see you are the person who loves to live by rules and rules and rules. No matter how fucked it can get and new the rules are. Maybe they will turn you into a criminal overnight one day for doing nothing, then we will see how you like it. Keep bending the knees. FYI I dont drink, smoke or do any of that. I truly believe being an American means we should have freedoms. Not fucking babysitters. This is technology that should exist for convicted people, not free people. Keep your dystopian nanny state out of america

I mean, it’s not AI powered. Or at least no more an AI than an existing sensor system would be.
But I also never really got the fun of cod so I can’t speak to the monitoring you’re talking about

Oh that kind of monitoring. Yeah I definitely don’t get the fun of that, even when I was an edgy teen (lol) I didn’t.
