Raiden Warned About AI Censorship - MGS2 Codec Call (2023 Version)

All joking aside I firmly believe that this “crisis” is manufactured or at least heavily influenced by those that want to shut down the internet and free communications. Up until now they have been unsuccessful. Copyright infringement, hate speech, misinformation, disinformation, child exploitation, deep fakes, none have worked to garner support. Now we have an existential threat. Video, audio, text, nothin is off limits and soon it will be in real time (note: the GOV tries to stay 25 years ahead of the private sector). This meme video incapsulates this perfectly. [this video] Mark my words, in five years or less we will be begging the governments of earth to implement permanent global real time tracking for every man woman and child on earth. Privacy is dead. And WE killed it.

You're not thinking more than one step ahead. If you let a third party define who "has ID", "is human", etc. you give that third party control over you. You already gave control of your attention away to the sites who host the UGC, now you also give away control of your sense of reality. At any point they can tell a real human what they can and can't say, and if they go against their masters, their "real human" status is revoked, because you trust the platform and not the person. If we want to go full conspiritard, we could accuse those of wanting to control speech to be the financial backers of those flooding social media with AI slop: [this video] -- this fictional video thematically marries Metal Gear Solid 2's plot with current events: "perfect AI speech, audio and video synthesis will drown out reality [...] That is when we will present our solution: mandatory digital identity verification for all humans at all times"
