    Locking social norms at some predetermined stage is a great way to curb all progress. Like, slavery was a social norm at some point.

      I haven’t read the article. Are you being sarcastic? Or is it a more secure option?

        It’s probably the most secure,. commonly available, messaging platform right now. They keep a bare minimum of metadata on their servers. Basically enough to link you on the platform. After that, everything is e2e encrypted and they can’t tell authorities anything.

        Other platforms are a sliding scale from to/from/time data, all the way up to full messages.

      Alternately, you could be getting a personal AI buddy who can whisper a warning in your ear when you’re about to misread the room and do something that’ll cause you a lot of trouble.

      It appears there is. They are using it to determine an areas general feelings are towards a US military presence in an area (whether the local population feels they need help from the US or not) as a means of helping to determine best locations for setting up garrisons and bases or whatever during a conflict. Which makes sense as you don’t want to choose an area that really doesn’t want you there as they likely become an asset to the enemy and put your soldiers at risk.

    We should violate anything Pentagon considers to be a study. Especially when it wants to control Social Norms.
