“Haha fuck all those idiots who use the means of travel that has been foisted on them”
I live somewhere where the infrastructure is completely built around the assumption of having a car. Everything is miles and miles apart, separated by nothing but highways and overpasses dotted with shrines to those who failed to cross them in time. I cannot overstate how much if you don’t have a car here, you are just stranded meat. Your options are to drive, uber or take the sometimes-running bus.
Now, are there opsec problems inherent to all these approaches? Yes, but you start from what you have and build up, you don’t start at imaginary perfection and build down. What’s your realistic alternative for all these people? Pull a paramotor out of their assholes? You don’t care about opsec, you’re just looking for an excuse to justify and rationalize the decisions of your overlords in a way that lets you feel snidely superior to the people who are actually out there taking risks and accomplishing things.

The problem is not the very idea of a method of control, the problem is who wields this one. This will abbsolutely be one more tool in the arsenal used to track and suppress people like anti-genocide protestors, pro-choice advocates, and -once Amazon or whoever inevitably buys access- labor union organizers.
Let’s be real, neither companies or government in the US (but I repeat myself) cares about human life, they just let over a million people die in a preventable and still ongoing pandemic to keep profits up. Nothing they have ever done has been motivated by concern for human life, this is a public control measure with a water-thin coat of fake civic responsibility painted on to justify it.

“No, you will sit there and painstakingly fill in every field and write a cover letter no human will ever read. AI is here to make it easier for companies like us, not peons like you, so don’t even think about using it to write your applications just because we use it to read them.”
