But "our interests" in observing the use of psychological trickery through memes and celebrity pawns to subtly nudge group actions and [the holy grail:] individual actions. Sports wins don't have the influence Meta's data pipeline has on individuals' lives! It's huge and insidious, 1984 is now literally becoming possible! It does negatively affect them. Now special interest politics can better out maneuver said people's interests and intentions even more effectively, now that personal and cohort profiles exist and updated in realtime!

No, we are cooked if we do not spread persuit of privacy like a religion! The individual cede to the group, and the group to the regal classes.



> 1984 is now literally becoming possible!

I assume you are refering to the automatic music writing machine the proles are fed with? LLMs seem to be capable of that now.

(1984 is a low tech society and have been possible since the 50s, except for that machine.)
