This is bullshit. AI will be hunting down survivors? Thus more lethal than nuclear war? ChatGTP4 will be better at it?

Most of these concern seem to be about AGI which we are nowhere close to having and have no clear path to. Our "AI"s not only do not understand causality but don't have the ability to perform arithmetic. Nor do they run stuff that could kill humans. Except if you consider Tesla's FSD an AI system, but Musk assured us back in 2017 it would be safe..

For people to try and effectively respond to those issues they must be able to communicate privately with no fear of retribution.

It also requires private and secure communications to be a normal thing and not an indicator that the parties involved are criminals, terrorists or pedos.

Ai by the way is going to be just a little fart compared to the other issues you described as well as the lack of privacy.

Also a problem related to privacy is our growing dependence on private corps to be a 'normal' person ("why you don't have a Facebook/Google/Amazon/etc account ?")

So because spammers exist you created an eveng greater spammer?

What does "third opinion" mean? That its supposedly "neutral" or "unbiased"?

"Just sucks"? Eugenics just suck? Innocent children dying just sucks?

Hate begets hate, not calm and rational responses.

If this changes your opinion on Gaza-Israel; you are a fucking moron.

If Hamas' fighters being hateful and commiting war crimes changes your opinion on the conflict; you are a fucking moron.

If you think no hamas fighter is hateful and has committed atrocities; you are a naive moron.

If you are wondering why Israel is wrong and Palestinians in the right despite both sides' soldiers (and "soldiers") committing war crimes, it's because Israel created this situation by occupying Palestine and trying to ethnically cleanse it.

People in the West are way naive and sheltered from the realities of war, in part due to propaganda and how western war efforts have been portrayed as unrealistically "clean" and sanitized.

I think some fundamentalist Christians believe the earth is 4000 years old only.

Garbage in garbage out.

You presume much about what services I use. There is much to be said about the power private corps have over us, the complications of being unable or unwilling to use their services making you a de facto outsider.

I don't see how these wrongs make another right.

Some of the actions alleged are actual crimes. It is a bad idea to have them handle para-legally. Sure being excluded from visiting bars is a light punishment (for someone actually guilty, completely unfair for an innocent person) but nothing guarantees it will stay there and won't also be used leaked to prospective employers and other people. In fact the first time you get denied you could very well not be alone and have to convince people you are not a rapist or something.

It's exactly the sort of information you not want bartenders and bouncers conjuring and trading in.

Yes totally reasonable some corpos and business get to claim you are a criminal and impose de facto penalties on you.

Exploits don't care if you are actually the NSA or not. The NSA certainly knowns that yet they keep exploits secret at least from the public.

They have argued for key escrow for God's shake.

They are primarily an intelligence agency. If you are not likely to be targeted by the NSA you are also unlikely to be targeted by any of their adversaries. They don't give a shit if you get scammed, they are not the FBI, who also keep secret exploits and are anti-encryption.

Additionally using their "best" exploits on more simple targets still poses a risk to them being discovered and fixed. Therefore it's beneficial to them for everybody's security to be compromised. It also provides deniability.

Do you have any evidence those two people are still committing burglaries? The NSA is not an ex-intelligence agency.

It doesn't matter if they know about security (which they do). A burglar could know about locks and home security systems, would you take his advice?

Their positions on security of others is dismissed on grounds of trust not of competence.

Because settling occupied territories is against the Geneva convention and a way to ethnically cleanse an area.
