My fear is that special AI systems will appear that will analyze every message I send and every action on my device.
What skills should I have? What Linux knowledge should I have? What should I know about routers and how the Internet works, VPN, and so on?
I’m still on Windows, and it’s starting to scare me. I just found out that the system records almost everything I do and sends the data to servers. And someone also told me that if I want an anonymous system, I have to figure it out myself, completely.
It’s a pretty complex topic but ever more valuable skill. I too believe AI will be used for mass surveillance that I don’t want to be a part of. Free, open source software is your best friend in general.
Windows and microsoft are particularly nasty in that they’ll record you where you interface with the computer (i.e. what the screen is showing and what you tell your own computer to do) and at some point will offer everything to the highest bidder. The offences of ISP and websites are pale in comparison.
