That was the secondary goal, keep people out and in.

If the ground is super fucked and you're car camping, an impact and some long ass lags also works a treat.

How about moving to a blue state? That's barely going to help but it's a better option than suicide.

Talk about self-hating. With a name like that, he'd shoot you dead if he could.

We are already living in a fascist state.

I really fucking hope I'm just being paranoid, but this is absolutely possible given the already existing research. AI isn't going to launch nukes, it's just going to facilitate horrors beyond our wildest comprehension.

Well, it very well can be used for exactly that.

If anything it's far more dangerous tech due to that. Let's say you live in 304; They know who lives in 303, 305, 203, 204, 205, 403, 404, 405, and the likelihood that your neighbors aren't as tech savvy and use ISP provided routers and modems means that they can use all of those sources to create a 3d image of you and your apartment with the proliferation of 2.4ghz and 5ghz to create a high resolution image that can track your lip movements and even your keystrokes on a computer. That basically just becomes a multi lens 3d camera recording at 5000 fps. The only way to avoid this is to faraday your entire apartment which ironically makes your signal much higher due to the deployment of countermeasures. The ol' "huh, interesting, what are they hiding?" approach.

Doesn't matter for me, my neighbors use all that shit. There's enough latent rf for them to triangulate literally everything happening nearby.

We might finally get some peace in the middle east.

Don't forget, no FEMA funding to rebuild either.
