I don’t know about music…I listen to it, but my favorite background is unperturbed wildlife sound with as little anthropogenic nuisance noise (including music) as possible.
Where I live in India, my family has been filing complaints against local temples and other places that blare music for 50 years now.
We don’t like invasive noise pollution. And fight loudspeakers on our street all the time.
So any Ai voice assistants or other such rot illegally and without permission left on as inevitable will now as inevitably result in a backlash.
I was not the best person to induce into these parasitic tech things pushed on people as inevitable. 5% of people actively like that shit and those are people I avoid. Another large percent reacts with : 😳.
I am in the group that will take it to court and make it criminally liable if possible - theft of space, time..New legal precedents. I don’t bother with money. Criminal liability will send a message.
You make a good point. Where is the line? My answer is that after all this, I am for pushing back as much as possible.
I was thinking about my ancestors yesterday..we are from a rare matriarchal community. And my family generally keeps to itself and avoids other people, though not in the Margaret Thatcher sense. It is not atomization so much as finding the minimal amount of social cooperation sans much socializing.
But for all that my family had some modern (i.e. typically associated with Westernization) and non tribal instincts long before they were common, nothing I heard indicated a meekly colonizable or colonized people.
They generally stay out of the papers etc. But the few stories I heard about brushes with would be colonists indicated that it didn’t go that well for the would be colonists. These days it is less about race and nationality sometimes than industry. Lots of oblivious people like I used to be, unaware of the rapacious non-consensual decision-making, mining etc with the constant normalization of the same as if corruption is routine and only irrational people pushback.
That is bullshit.
Now we are all more civilized and so it would be via the courts and criminal liability for the kind of theft highplainsdem talks about. But yeah, I wish these creeps working in ai and data mining and trying these space grabs would get that this won’t end well for them and they need to stay off my street and this part of the grid without destroying normal access to normal infrastructure.
Anyway I will be filing complainte retroactively. That is the sole deterrent.
