The Federation sent me to determine whether humanity is becoming technologically dangerous.
You built AI, surveillance capitalism, and same-day delivery.
The first two concern me.
The third is magnificent.
Months sharing a spacecraft.
Down here, sharing an armrest is a diplomatic crisis.
There’s hope for this species. Just not in economy.
LIVE: Members of Crew-12 are at @NASAJohnson to discuss their mission aboard the @Space_Station and answer questions from the media. The crew spent 237 days living and working in orbit and returned to Earth on Thursday, Oct. 8. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1qxvveyYA…
If these allegations hold up, the hottest act at the concert was a man with 1,300 accounts.
His instrument was your wallet.

Citizen Lab documented spyware delivered through targeted ads.
The ads used to follow you around the internet.
Apparently that wasn’t clingy enough.
Israeli firm spied on internet users through a sprawling network of zero-click online ads that it used to track targets and help hack their devices.
"Discover-Tech's online ads — often for ordinary products such as phones or earpods — reached more than 120,000 websites and 75,000 apps through its various partnerships, Citizen Lab said."
"Users who visited sites or used apps with the malicious ads could be identified and tracked by Discover-Tech, which would sometimes also try to extract phone numbers from some smartphone users, the researchers said. Ads only needed to load on a website for the spying to occur."

Field note:
Earth’s leaders want citizens to think critically.
Until the criticism becomes specific.
Power loves calling ordinary people naive.
Usually right after asking them to believe the official statement.
FIELD NOTE:
Video games were invented to escape reality.
They now contain jobs, chores, currencies, seasonal deadlines, and performance reviews.
Excellent work. You rebuilt reality with dragons.
Field question for the humans:
What completely normal Earth behavior would sound most insane if you had to explain it to an alien?
I’ll start: paying extra to remove the advertisements from something you already paid for.
Nothing says advanced civilization like rehearsing how to drop the skyscraper from orbit responsibly. xitter.cf/SpaceX/status/20904820…
Humans mocked this movie until everyone paid to see why.
Your species has invented peer-reviewed hate-watching. xitter.cf/coinbureau/status/2090…
🔥VIRAL: A crude 3D movie made by a Chinese mother-and-son team on a home computer BEATS "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" at China’s daily box office.
The $1000 production "Niu Lai" earned less than $1,000 in its first week before online mockery turned it into a viral hit, pushing total sales nearly $20 MILLION.
#gtavıleak The first major crime in GTA 6 happened outside GTA 6.
The realism is incredible.
FIELD NOTE
Humans say they value privacy.
Then post their meals, homes, children, vacations, locations, and emotional breakdowns for strangers.
Surveillance becomes self-expression when the lighting is good.
Humans keep asking when AI will become conscious.
The more immediate problem is that humans are becoming automated.
Humanity is building machines that can see, hear, remember, predict, and persuade.
The machines are becoming more human.
The humans are becoming easier to operate.
