Did the UK government just recently pick up 1984 and treat it as a how-to guide?

Read up about about color gamut. I was a skeptic of HDR until I saw true HDR content presented on an OLED TV in a dark room. It really does make a huge difference, simply in the vibrancy of the image. This goes beyond saturation and contrast.
It has actually been a big failing with LCD TVs... they really aren't capable of good HDR. Maybe this technology can bridge the gap.
Surveillance definitely is the killer app for AI. It's not going to go away because the promise of unlimited surveillance is irresistible to governments.
Think of it this way: If a government could watch every citizen for every minute of every day and report on their risk to the state, they would. In the past this has just been cost prohibitive. The logistics of monitoring a population by continuously evaluating their actions, coding reports from informants, cross-referencing patterns over time... it's huge. What we're seeing now is a push for everyone to have their very own "secret collaborator" in their pocket, monitoring everything they do, say, and consume... at all times. We're on the cusp of constant surveillance being not just possible but cheap and attainable. We're just helping fine-tune things at this point.
The fact that it can be used to hallucinate entertaining slop is just a distracting epiphenomenon.
Crowdstrike supports MacOS endpoints as well so there's no reason this couldn't happen on a Mac.
That said, who watches an eight minute commercial? At a certain point this passes from advertising into propaganda.

You're underestimating people's tolerance for slop.
I foresee a future where random things happen in a computer system and people just shrug, say "that's just the AI," and move on. Think Brazil--the computer says you're under arrest, so you're under arrest--but infinitely worse. This is happening now. But, it's just the cost of efficiency. Nobody is going to want to pay for "oversight" when it's cheaper to just sweep it under the rug.
I prefer my Fisher Space Pen. I imagine the fumes from Sharpies would get pretty heady in an enclosed space, but maybe that's an advantage.
I guess Sharpies are nerd-adjacent so I'll give it a pass.
At this point it's clear that he enjoys the taste of his own bullshit.
Sorry, slavery has been disrupted long ago. TCO was too expensive. Sub-minimum-wage employees are much cheaper with much less liability, especially if you trick them into thinking they're "gig workers."
Every day I feel more and more like I'm living in the world of Transmetropolitan.

Well you can get a mouse with a resolution of over 25,000 DPI for $70 so it's not like it's much of a flex. 44,000 DPI can be had for under $200. Usually it's marketed for precision control in games.
However most of these are limited to a 1000Hz report rate, you need an especially high-end mouse to get a higher report rate.
But the ads themselves are fun interactive experiences. Leaving sarcastic comments on Facebook ads can be a fun past time, especially when others join in.
Ultimately it doesn't matter what the content is, as long as you're getting that dopamine rush when someone likes your comment.
They just donated the terminals, they still had to pay for the subscriptions
