10. Taken to its logical end, just track everyone always.

You'll always know who the criminal is, for every crime, however minor. Cookies, embedded AI agents, cameras, GPS, it could be done. Easily.

At some point, personal privacy and security are more of a concern to me than security of the group. Sorry, gang, but that's how I roll.

Wonder when or if we'll get a chance to draw the line? Wonder if we would actually part with our conveniences if it meant not being tracked, monetized and shilled to constantly? I think we're use to it.

Not a big leap to figure out who spends all the money they get paid, and quit hiring savers, to keep the employees on the hook. How about a pay cut, then a loan pitched by a wholly owned subsidiary of your employer to help you through the tough times... then another 10% pay cut? You might have quit over the whole 20%, so you're welcome. And, you can keep your job if you keep paying the loan.

AI is fascinating.
