The current trending sentiment is the same as the old trending sentiment: American workers are lazy and worthless and they can be easily replaced.

The NPCs repeat this ad nauseum so that other NPCs will repeat it ad nauseum.

They repeat it with such moral sanctity that in the event their sector is next in line for penitential discipline, they won't need to be convinced that they deserve it. They will simply use the opportunity to self-flagellate as only a truly devoted adherrant to the religion can and proceed to deliver glorious epitaphs to every American job sector that has gone by the wayside.

DYSTOPIAN doesn't even begin to cover it. You'll want to sit down for this one.. hopefully it's not in your new black mirror vehicle. 👇

In new patents filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (Serial No. 20250104469), Ford is envisioning a future where your pickup turns into a rolling police station. And we don’t mean just a bunch of new safety features; the new patents envision your truck as a 24/7 surveillance outpost.

👁️ Biometric Checks: From the comfort of your own driveway, your eyes will be scanned, and that iris and fingerprint checked against a database of criminals - real-time results received within seconds.

🧠 Did you know? Your car can put you in an Emotional Lockout! If your vehicle senses that you are in a “panic” driving state or have the “big eyes” (unintentionally locking onto an object for too long), the vehicle will determine that you are not fit to drive. The vehicle will remain in a Park state and will not allow the shifter to transition into the Drive state.

👂 Ad Spying – using acoustic waves to read your lips and display monitored conversations to you in order to serve you targeted ads for maximum monetization.

🚔 Law Enforcement: The live feeds in the footages "by Ford" are not encrypted and thus can be used for Law Enforcement Integration. Ford's own patent language for this feature describes the live feeds as "potentially useful for police".

This isn't "coming soon" - it's already here.

• Smart Eye monitoring software is already in use in over 4 million vehicles worldwide.

• To comply with EU regulations such as the Future Truck 2025 concept, GSR, drowsiness system will be a mandatory feature on board.

• Ford currently offers live in-cabin Ford Pro Telematics feeds to its fleet manager customers.

The future is looking more like a world where you pay for your name and reputation , but everyone else profits off of your private information and influence.

Surveillance society: It’s not just the new spying tech that’s the problem - it’s that all older vehicles are being gradually driven off the road and taken out of commission through legislation and a parts shortage, leaving drivers with a hollow choice.

All is not lost. But we’re not just losing privacy. We’re losing the concept of an exit ramp.

How long do you plan to keep your "analog" car on the road?

The long run meaning of Trump is to delegitimize the system. He was never going to save us. But he has made the ruling class ridiculous. He used social media to show we are ruled by fools.

Whatever comes next - this was a necessary revelation.

@GianmarcoSoresi Well ideally, but why would public education be used to teach independent thought rather than blind obedience?

What kind of corporation wants those kinds of employees lol

@CaliMom559 @ImBreckWorsham Isn't it weird it's not required to reveal who is paying you for peddling their narratives when influencers who peddle physical goods are legally required?

Ashley St. Clair confirmed the WH runs group chats telling these accounts what to post. Within minutes of shots fired tonight, before there was any news of casualties and before the President said this exact talking point, this was the chat in real time.

Highly scripted narratives are a feature of a top-down government who do not trust its citizens to form their own.

It's a recurring pattern seen throughout history. But what is more interesting is how citizens process the emotions of being made aware of being manipulated by their government.

It's almost like a trauma response where each new betrayal feels like a fresh new wound, festering slowly before fully fomenting into a full-on raging infection.

But just as quickly as citizens are made aware of how their government manufactures their consent, they soon forget as newer narratives are scripted which leads them down a winding path of confusion. So much confusion is created by conflicting narratives that they end up giving up with what to believe, eventually returning to the original script, which is always *trust what your leaders say, they know best*.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT.

The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time.

A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B.

Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself.

GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won.

Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective.

It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect.

Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance.

99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time.

If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars.

Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

Can someone explain why it’s legal to do 3% increase on rent each year, when our pay is not going up 3% each year? Like I’m literally being priced out of my apartment where I live where am I supposed to go?

@chicfryrice So Epstein was just a puppet for a top-tier time traveling cabal?
It's an interesting theory overall, but give supervillians a free pass. Oh wait

Eventually we all become digital slaves, moving to the syncopated rhythm of addictive algorithms composed disingenuously by those at the top.

Eventually you’ll have to scan your face to do anything. Your privacy and freedom will be stripped away from you in the name of convenience and security.

Epstein Files show Epstein was EXTREMELY concerned about Virginia Giuffre, who was quite vocal in telling the world she was in no way suicidal, but found dead shortly later.

“Before I call Trump. With regard Virginia.. Are there any other alternatives?"
