"Imagine your own personal Jarvis accessible from any connected device whether it’s a pair of earbuds, smart glasses, smartphone, or notebook. These devices will be constantly feeding sensor data to an agent. "
Nice hook, but ‘my own personal jarvis’ is not on offer anywhere. It’s big tech’s version, so a comparison with Ultron would be a bit closer to the truth.
This is a great illustration of how it could have been cool, but privacy, ownership and control matter…

Your own Jarvis is starting to be increasingly possible if you’re into self hosting. Of course nobody is getting rich off that so they don’t advertise it. Oh and latency is still a bit of an issue. The “thinking” phase of an agent doesn’t generate output that’s directly useful to your question so it’s not shown by default what’s going on.
And now this whole ordeal has got me wanting to watch the Iron Man movies

They won’t be eating shit, they’ll be bailed out like 2008 and YOU will have to pay for it and therefore be eating shit

Didn’t Trump want to devalue the dollar to make exports easier? Here’s his chance. He could just tank the entire US economy like he tanked his casinos, making a select few filthy rich in the process. Then buy the dip and when the economy rebounds, him and his cronies will have another payday.

No, this one can’t be bailed out. The scale is so big, it’s going to bring down the global financial system. And then burn through to the economics layer.
The scale of their fuckup is so large and so so costly that there literally isn’t enough liquid cash floating in the economy to bail them out. We’re talking TRILLIONS of dollars that would have to be pulled from the world and shoved into the tech industry simply to plug the hole for a short time. A bailout simply isn’t in the cards if they want there to be a government moving forward.

I dunno how they feel about it… It could be a chance to establish “temporary” emergency powers.
Whether they want to seize power that way or not, the fundamental economic breakdown it would cause would immediately break off the loyalty of the people they’d need to enforce it. Most troops and cops aren’t doing it out of loyalty, they’re doing it to get paid. Moreover, their most ardent supporters would turn on them the second they stop being able to buy food.
One way or another, it’s simply not gonna happen.
The economic breakdown is the desired outcome. Destabilizing the global economy is an expressly stated goal of the technofeudalists. They intend to crash the dollar so they can balkanize the US into corporate owned states.

AI agents will be become invisible, inescapable, follow you across devices
But what if I don’t want them to?

Then you opt-out and you won’t need to look at any track anymore. They’ll still track you.

They’ll still track you.
There are (admittedly inconvenient) actions I can take to reduce how much I’m tracked, and also to intentionally pollute a portion of the tracking data that thwy do collect.
Or I could just give up and let the fuckers win…

So… instead of creating a product, proving it’s good, and getting sales that way, they’re using rapist tactics and arguments!? No red flags there!

Made my own version in GIMP, to get rid of ‘new text document’ and avoid watermarks:
(Not sure which font to use, so I picked a monospaced one for added ‘cyber’. Also, here’s a clean base image if anybody wants to do better.)

I’m sorry, how is it inescapable? If I follows me across devices, I just won’t use those devices. So how’s it going to follow me then?
- cmhe@lemmy.worldEnglish1 day
You don’t need to use devices. Other people are, so you will be part of it. Any device in your proximity will listen to you, any photos other people take of you will identify you, public cameras or facitities will surveil you, smart energy meters will know what you do in your home…
That is why the position of “I don’t care, because I don’t use that tech.” or “It is peoples choice.” Is so useless… We need strong regulation… Worldwide.

Autonomous vehicles too. I know because I wrote some of the patents ten years ago for Qualcomm and Ericsson on these exact topics. The world felt like a much different place back then.
