#4Who the hell is signing a large contract with IBM and expecting them to deliver working tech?
> IBM signed a $69.8 million (£54.7 million) contract with the British government
Ah, just good old fashioned grift. Nothing to be concerned about. The money is being spent on executive bonuses and government official kickbacks, not developing facial recognition.

The general public won’t care until it impacts them personally.
Time to buy that country estate surrounded by trees so the surveillance state can’t see the finer details of your eyes with their AI cameras

Just tell folks on the right that ai is going to take their rights, freedoms and guns and let them run with it. I am not joking, the only way to "wake" people up is to leverage those that, oddly enough, have predicted many of the upcoming changes. The issues with their conspiracy theories are with the how, whom, and why. There's no cabal of folks injecting people with microcips to control them and covid wasn't it. It's just regular corporations and corrupt politicians selling them technological sweets in order to extort them for money. Easy. Let them run wild, and hopefully the left and the right find middle ground and change this trajectory.
