Edward Snowden On Artificial Intelligence & "When The Machines Take Over"

For decades people believed mass surveillance and big data collection 
was a “conspiracy theory.”

Thanks to whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, who worked for the 
National Security Agency (NSA), we know that every conversation we have 
and every move we make in the real and/or digital world is tracked and 
stored.

Snowden’s revelations revealed a mass surveillance system that not even 
George Orwell could have imagined.

Despite all of this activity being pervasive and illegal, the national 
security state has justified it, claiming it was for our own safety and 
protection. The masses have bought this idea.

Those who have exposed the illegal actions of powerful people, like 
Wikileaks’ Julian Assange 
<https://www.thepulse.one/p/13-years-ago-julian-assange-published?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Fassange&utm_medium=reader2>, 
are subjected to prosecution and torture. Yet still, when it comes to 
other global issues, like COVID or climate change, we believe the words 
from the same powerful people and institutions that have been exposed as 
unethical. Why? Why is sound and legit information and evidence always 
ridiculed and considered a conspiracy theory just like mass surveillance 
was?

In terms of dialogue around these major global issues, what we get is 
often not detailed and nuanced, but instead talking points from a mass 
information warfare system designed to shape the 
perception/consciousness of the masses.

Big media and politics play the biggest influencers of mass deception. 
Why?So solutions can be proposed by the same powerful interests 
prosecuting those who expose them.

For example, climate alarmists 
<https://www.thepulse.one/p/where-did-the-claim-that-97-of-scientists>may 
argue that we may need to block out the sun 
<https://www.thepulse.one/p/the-white-house-and-billionaires>to stop 
global warming one day. But the important questions to ask are, what is 
the real motive behind this ‘solution?’ Would this even help our 
environmental woes? At what cost are we to accept their solutions?

Today, it seems most of today’s solutions are designed to put more power 
and control into the hands of the surveillance state, which seems to 
salivate at the idea of total population control.

One of the latest tools for this agenda /*could*/be artificial intelligence.


        The Masses Awakening To This Dynamic?

The good news is the masses are becoming more aware of this deception, 
and are not so quick to accept the same old solutions carte blanche.

We live in an age where nuanced and meaningful discussions around these 
issues are happing en mass, just not by government and Big Media.
