Those of you who didn't click and read all of the links in this recent piece nonetheless need to read this essay outlining why the .gov shouldn't be allowed to play with supercomputers.

Please click on the embedded links and read each one.

If you're online in any aspect of your life, assume that both commercial entities (e.g., Google, Amazon, etc.) and .gov agencies either have now or plan to have soon the ability to create a full history of your habits, thoughts, purchases, reading, assets, health conditions, and all other potential data about you.

Alea iacta est.
