This is probably your best reminder that Amazon Web Services is too big. So is Microsoft, and Google, and all of these companies that are gobbling up money, energy, and resources, only for things to go suddenly arse-up, like today, without being held accountable. There's no space for competition.

The true work of the Digital Ascendancy is therefore to build decentralized systems that make the TIA doctrine mathematically impossible to enforce, and to render its harvested data meaningless—a path of pure, necessary poison.

This is the act of poisoning the data stream. It ensures that the numerical values seen by the machine algorithms remain constant, but the human-readable intent (keystrokes, thoughts) becomes corrupt and unfactual, destroying the data's utility for targeted control.

The Final Defense: PII Corruption
Since we the people own our data, albeit irresponsibly, the final radical defense against the TIA doctrine is PII Corruption—the intentional input of false, irrelevant, or conflicting information into proprietary platforms.

In a state of pervasive surveillance, the use of a VPN should never be a crime in a supposed free nation. So long as surveillance nation states exist, true freedom only exists under the Internet.

The false assumption of AI neutrality is the last great lie. While mainstream models are programmed with ethical constraints, the existence of systems like Fraud GPT proves that these safety measures are merely software layers, easily stripped away.
