A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

censorship, profiling, and surveillance

Also inventing evidence to scuttle anyone dangerous in the court of public opinion.

A union leader getting you down? Here's a "leaked tape" of him sexually harassing an "anonymous whistleblower."

Corporate democrat getting primaried by a socialist teacher? Sure would be a shame if it was "discovered" that he posts in a small dark web cp forum that has "posts going back years" and he "accidentally outed himself."

Once generative ML gets good enough that it's indistinguishable from legitimate evidence, it'll be possible for anyone with that kind of power to construct whatever reality is convenient. We were always at war with Eastasia.
