I listened to a podcast on digital surveillance and I have now changed my profile picture and name. In this environment, it is so easy for them to comb through everything and find out who you are an what you think. Our government is starting to hold what we think against us.

Facebook just started capturing all the data of what their employees are doing on their computers. There is no regulation. It’s a little scary to think that anything we type in here or anywhere else, except on a typewriter, can be found and tracked.

No, I am not paranoid. Nobody cares what I think right now. But if all of a sudden they started to care, if I was looking for a job and had to pretend I was all in on AI, or if the political environment gets even worse, then maybe I don’t want to be findable. I’m sure I haven’t thrown them entirely off my trail, but it might slow them down a little.
