RE: Google Nest Revealed to Contain Secret Microphone
I guess there are worse plans than that. If you look up MEMS, GEMS, smartdust you'll get the picture. Besides, not so long ago I watched CBC News Marketplace video on Youtube on how cars, smartphones, home cameras even nursing cameras can be hacked. While making the video the hired hacker even turned on the heating up to 33 degrees Celsius in someone's home. Worth watching!
Given things like smart dust eventuating inevitably, I note the ability of the public to share the surveillance data therefrom to attack corruption and crime will be far more harmful to bad actors than the present proprietary possession of surveillance data enables them to extort and harm the public and government.
I reckon it's inevitable, and impossible to prevent bad actors from gaining access to the data anyway, so the public should take control of it and use it against criminals. It is they that have the most to lose from surveillance after all, not honest folks.
Thanks!
For them, it is: if it doesn't go one way it goes another way. So, they don't lose at all. So, how do you avoid something like smartdust - nano-sized measurement robots - falling from the sky and landing on everything, even your hair and in your nostrils? It is smart dust that supposedly gives the sky an occasional iridescent glow.
You see, the building of the Panama canal was financed by placing the dead bodies of the workers in the double-bottomed barrels that were shipped and sold to London for research - 20.000 of them. While in London they scooped 60.000 poor and homeless for the same purpose. Those were the beginning days of medical clinical research.
I don't know if it's any different now. It just looks different and the technology is different, so the adversaries could be more hidden and distant.
And, if you place two seemingly un-connected texts together, like the one about smartdust and nano-bots and Secret Convenant, then the future looks far more dystopian than just a peacefully beautiful day in the woods may offer to see at present.
Plants and animals will show us that there is something absolutely wrong going on, but we might not figure out what it is and from where it comes until it's too late. In 2018 quite some fruit started appearing as Siamese twins - a horror look. So, what's next?
For me what's next is beginning to develop my home rationally. 3D printing, aquaponics, solar, etc. I reckon smart folks will do the same as they become aware of it, as the tech matures, and failing to do so puts them at disadvantage. As the number of people doing this grows, the economic power they possess grows, and grows faster, while the economic power of corrupitalists decreases.
The situation will evolve.
