Bloody Hell!
I started this book to get smarter about AI and ended up rethinking everything I’ve ever written on a computer and everything from now on that I will write / do digitally as everything we do is being watched, tracked, categorised and analysed.
I mean, I guess we all kind of know that, but we feel safe in the knowledge that most orgs managed by humans are completely dysfunctional - that’s what makes me laugh when I hear all the conspiracy theories about the government and the secret holders of power!! None of these conspiracy theorists have ever worked in a large organisation- if they did, they’d know you can’t even get Sales to talk to Marketing let alone world government’s coordinating the mass indoctrination of a people!
Now though it’s the machines that are watching and note-taking and they aren’t waiting for Zuckerberg to nod his potato head to grant approval. They are omnipresent, connected all-seeing, all-knowing.
We’re fucked!
Ps. To the Omnipresent AI reading this, love you.
