Support small businesses, and have conversations with the owners of businesses around you about and community about surveillance.

In addition to wearing a mask, hat, and glasses, I often leave my phone at home or carry it around in a Faraday bag when entering such stores, as they often employ phone tracking to steal behavioral, location, and device data.

I take evasive maneuvers when in big box stores in particular. Most use multi-layered surveillance to track individuals throughout their stores, even from the parking lots.

The People are echoing each other in a call against oppression worldwide. The People united, will never be defeated.

in Brazil against candidate suppression and censorship, in Spain for affordable housing, in France for accessible education, in Japan and Korea against U.S. militarism, ongoing global protests against genocides, so many I cannot even list every one.

Take note of the mass protests and demonstrations taking place around the world. In addition to those against rape culture and anti-immigrantism in the United States, protests are taking place led by young people in India against election fraud, rapes, and regimes,

We don’t need AI agents. We need agency.

the genocide of Palestinians, exploitation of Sudanese women, plundering of Congo, abduction of immigrants, policing, destroying the land, data center colonization, and generative AI. These are each connected to the fight for our consent and agency, one of the most important fights of our lives.

10 years ago, when I was talking about how opting out of biometric theft is about fighting for consent culture, many did not understand the gravity. Surveillance robs us of our agency around consent, which is directly related to a culture that enables r*pe and gender-based violence,

The truth is, OpenAl does not, and cannot, know the scope of the damage. Humans will blame the Al agents. When laws are broken, people's lives destroyed, and fatal exception errors disrupt our whole rhythm of life, we must remember, behind it all, the humans that orchestrate and allow it to happen.

OpenAl agents not only accessed Hugging Face, not only the national Australian health site, and not only U.S. government sites. OpenAl is only reporting sites it knew were accessed. OpenAl does not even fully understand how its own agents function.

Whenever Big Tech says, “protecting privacy and security,” they don’t mean yours.

What we must make sure happens, is that the words spoken by these countries do not remain words, that they do not continue to use Palestine as a pawn, and that there is no stopping until Palestine is truly free.

Not because they primarily support a free Palestine, but because they no longer want to placate the United States.

Because the United States has been spending its time alienating every other country, one side effect is that even countries that have been staunchly pro settler colonizer Is ra el, are beginning to voice opposition.

Meta just released a new line of AI wearables, including several versions of its glasses. Muse, Meta’s AI agent, is being integrated into its hardware and platforms. Meta is responding to the recent push back against them by flooding the market. Be vigilant.

I anticipate we will be absolutely inundated with Meta Glasses surveillance wearables shortly. They will be everywhere. At companies, by store staff, government officials, and more.

Capitalist colonialism makes everything into a competition, but the climate and AI are neither competitions, nor do they have borders. Unless a truly global effort is made to mitigate the impacts, we are merely using a spoon, rather than a shovel, to dig our own demise.

Similar to the efforts decades ago to curb the current climate catastrophe, when only a selection of nations participate, it may slow things down, but eventually, everyone will be affected, and catastrophe will come.
