Wanna hear a tinfoil-hat level conspiracy theory?

Maybe the entire AI hype is just to grab $$$ to build out huge data systems for full world population level surveillance?

Once every bit of data about people is captured and updated real-time, command and control could provide some folks with a cool real-world SIMs game.

I mean, 'AI' systems are really there to shuffle through exobytes of data and do rapid pattern recognition and matching.

After working tech support for the VIP / VP floor, I decided that the less you read, the more money you made.

VP customer: "It won't let me log on."

[Admin scrambles IT support, flashing red lights down the hallway]

PFY: "It says your password has expired. You need to create a new one."

VP [cogitating]: "I have to create a new password?"

PFY: "Yes"

VP: "Sheila, I need you to get me a new password, STAT!"

Submission + - Secret Service Raids Malicious SIM Server Setup (apnews.com)

Gilmoure writes: The US Secret Service is in the process of taking down a massive network of SIM Server systems, designed to function "like banks of mock cellphones, able to generate mass calls and texts, overwhelm local networks and mask encrypted communications criminals. When agents entered the sites, they found rows of servers and shelves stacked with SIM cards. More than 100,000 were already active, investigators said, but there were also large numbers waiting to be deployed, evidence that operators were preparing to double or even triple the network’s capacity, McCool said. He described it as a well-funded, highly organized enterprise, one that cost millions of dollars in hardware and SIM cards alone."
