Posting on The Internet

Do you post shit online?

I used to post shit online back in the day, on the early social media; I think they are all dead by now, or at least I hope so; I looked some up the other day, they are not all dead!

I don't post shit online anymore, you know, like every single detail of my life. I stopped doing that years ago because I noticed something.

I started seeing supercomputer after supercomputer go on line. IBM, Google, Apple, all the big corporations, and all the wealthy governments of the world; they all own or lease supercomputers. And I was thrilled by this, I was telling everybody:

Guys, look! Look at all these supercomputers going on line! They are going to help humanity solve the big problems of the world. And they have, they help create climate models, disease spreading models, and all kinds of very complicated modeling tasks that would take humans equipped with regular computers, like the one you have in your pocket, years to do; a supercomputer does the same work in seconds. Seconds! It takes longer for humans to program the machine, than it takes it to do the work.

Then, after a while, I started seeing data centers go on line, one after another; this time, at breakneck speed.

Hey! I'm not that stupid, I can put two and two together, you know! And if I can figure it out, then they can, too.

Everything you put online is stored and processed. If you have ever sent a dickpick over the internet, or stored it on the internet, then there is a corporation/government somewhere out there, that knows exactly how long your johnson is.
