Systems fail. Someone's always watching, until they're not.
Not a vague moan about "big tech". Here's what's actually wrong, one at a time.
A handful of corporations control the compute. They hoard the hardware so everyone has to rely on their servers, chasing a permanent monopoly on machine thought.
They price GPUs out of reach on purpose. Inflated hardware costs are a weapon, a calculated move to keep folk skint and stuck relying on someone else's servers.
Facial recognition vans, doorbell cameras feeding private databases, number plate readers on the ring road. Watched constantly with no say in it and no real way to opt out.
Every tap, scroll and search gets logged, packaged and sold on. Your habits become someone else's product before you've even noticed.
Massive data centres eating up land, water and the local grid, plonked next to towns that never got asked. Communities carry the cost while the profit goes elsewhere.
Perfectly good hardware bricked by a software update or a dropped support contract. Landfill fills up so the next model can sell.
AI systems that make decisions about people's lives while nobody outside the company gets to see how they actually work.
Rent-forever pricing on tools that used to be something you just owned. Cancel and you lose the lot, even the work you did yourself.
None of this gets fixed by shouting about it on someone else's platform. That's what the building page is for.
