AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year

So with all the news on hardware shortages...someone is building skynet..and we just don't know about it.

Less skynet and more a surveillance state thats gonna put England and even CCP to shame. They need the hard drives because they're storing everything about us. Every time we drive by a camera, gps paths of our cell phones constant travel, every bank transaction including small purchases, every social media comment, page we view from WiFi or cellphone, all our connections to everyone else, tags for various groups. Not even just the people we know we know, they'll know who's usually next to us in traffic on commutes and when, who makes our sandwich from the deli we go to every other Tuesday, what cops would be most likely to respond to a call to our house at a certain time... Like, "skynet" is useful because everyone knows the term. The real danger is what humans will do with access to that much information on everyone, and what a normal human would do to/for a stranger to protect all their darkest secrets. Imagine if tech was 20 years ahead right now with trump in office, do you think someone like him would hesitate to start wide scale blackmail? You think they're above telling a couple thousand people in highly targeted districts that they had to vote a certain a way or else? It's not the AI we need to be scared of, it's the data.
