Did we sleep through 1984 40 years ago?

Big brother will soon be watching you. The million dollar question is will Palantir in the US have access to information from the AI scanned/collated/connected, circa 80, databases for "software diagnostic" purposes? (Perhaps not if we want to maintain EU GDPR equivalence?)https://inews.co.uk/news/police-use-controversial-ai-tool-sex-lives-beliefs-3747154https://libertyinvestigates.org.uk/articles/uk-police-working-with-controversial-tech-giant-palantir-on-real-time-surveillance-network/

Wow, a rather fine double full twist, not usually seen outside the gymnastics arena.

What constitutes 'right wing', 'political' and 'violent' is probably far from straight forward.  Our PM probably labels name calling as being 'right wing political violence'.  We also have the nutty woke 'silence is violence' brigade. I fear many terms appear increasingly meaningless as the vocal minority look to play language gymnastics.

I have always believed in the saying "Good fences make good neighbours". These sorts of development and connection can give power to the criminally-minded as well as to their foes. As we have seen.While looking at things raised by your links, I wandered and found this:-"Musk also publicly disputed his own AI chatbot Grok, when it posted a fact check about politically motivated violence, noting that “Since 2016, data suggests right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly.” That response lines up with most publicly available data.But Musk didn’t agree. “Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it.” he posted."
