As the future becomes Agentic, and you need to pay your AI agents off credit cards + face ID stuff possibly, how will this affect us? (lemmy.world)

Wonder on what you guys think about this, if the future of work requires us to use AI/AI agents, and this is tied to a personal account (tied to our ID) how will that change work and our lives? Every tiny mistake, any curiosity, any eureka moment or inefficiency, all of those will be recorded, tied to your identity, forever and ever to the end of time. It freaks me out...

Yes but one thing is one guy sitting down and pressing a button "lets check for this word tag here nationwide", or maybe "this person was flagged as suspicious, let's read his stuff" and another completely different is "lets scan absolutely everything for patterns using AI 24/7"

You kinda used to need to be targeted either by a keyword of some kind or more of a manual review, I don't think before AI they could try and figure you out in an automatic way like they can now. I think it will be more pervasive now

Its called commercial surveillance and its been happening for a while. And state surveillance and that was also happening for a while and it's been both on a mass scale also for a while. Companies are serving people ads that they know push people to buy. They are using psychology based on their profile and based on general psychological exploits that work for whatever reason (like evolutionary traits that used to be advantageous for survival once...)
