Technocracy Ascending-Part 5: The Common Good Utopia?

by Jesse Smith In Technocracy Ascending Part 4, Dark Enlightenment, the Neoreaction(NRx) movement, and accelerationism were exposed as the ideological forces behind the technocrats in the Trump administration. This installment investigates how both Eastern and Western technocrats are creating high-tech utopian societies that supposedly advance the common good of all.

by Anthony Kimery | Biometric Update America’s surveillance architecture has grown from an opaque counterterrorism framework into a complex and far-reaching system with deep implications for civil liberties. The federal government’s expanding use of facial recognition, AI, and data aggregation tools has prompted urgent concerns among civil rights advocates, legal scholars, technologists, and lawmakers. And their message is clear: without stronger oversight, warrant requirements and transparency, the very technologies deployed in the name of safety may become the greatest threat to Americans’ freedoms. Last year, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights detailed in a 194-page report how federal agencies are […]

AI-Powered Surveillance Takes Off in Texas

by Francesca D’annunzio | Texas Observer via Truthdig Over the past several years, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has quietly built out an expansive surveillance apparatus — one that’s increasingly powered by artificial intelligence. Many of these technology acquisitions have been made under the auspices of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, an $11 billion program that has supercharged the state’s decades-long border militarization.
