Also don’t forget to remove the plastic film(s) they put on the CPU/Cooler and everywhere else!

How would that even work? I assume that there would need to be a built in backdoor somewhere, since it’s clientside rather than the oldschool data pull from centralized servers.

I probably wouldn’t use them in any form for what they want to do with them, not a fan of plugging in that hard, but I could wear them for extended periods of time no problem. Can play video games with the big bulky Valve Index for hours on end without a break, I doubt this AR set is much heavier or hotter. Any sort of exercise would probably make it way too steamy to be reliable though.

Would be cool to get some sort of advanced vision system to augment my poor vision though. Start looking like I’m from Star Trek with that sweet visor.

AI has the potential to be the most powerful propaganda machine the world has ever known. The ability to seamlessly jump into conversations and actively steer them towards the owner’s target position en masse is terrifying. Add to that the ability for the AI to swarm dissenters with dozens or even hundreds of sock puppet accounts, creating manufactured consensus is undoubtedly already being done by people on a smaller scale, and definitely being tested by state and corporate actors to use for a variety of targets and subjects.
