A recent AI survey raises serious questions about where we're headed as a society. The findings paint a troubling picture - are we witnessing the erosion of fundamental freedoms in the name of technological progress?

The results should make everyone pause and think. As artificial intelligence becomes more embedded in daily life, the balance between innovation and individual liberty grows increasingly fragile. Surveillance capabilities expand. Privacy boundaries blur. Control mechanisms strengthen.

This isn't just an American issue - it's a global crossroads. The crypto and Web3 communities have long championed decentralization precisely to counter these centralizing forces. Maybe those "fringe" concerns about permissionless systems and censorship resistance weren't so fringe after all.

Worth asking: what kind of future are we building?

I’ve been saying this all along, now people are just starting to panic. Web3 isn’t about being radical—it’s the inevitable choice when you’re backed into a corner. Is freedom valuable? Just look at what’s happening now. Surveillance is everywhere. Anyway, I’ve already gone all in. Fringe? That’s a joke. The clear-headed ones are all here. With this AI wave, decentralization has truly become the only way out. Is it too late to wake up? There’s still time to take action now.

True Web3 believer, I've long said that centralization is doomed.

I told you, the centralized system was bound to have problems sooner or later. Web3 isn’t about speculating on coins, it’s the last line of defense against surveillance. Why do some people still take freedom for granted... Permissionless systems are seriously underrated, I’m telling you. Wait, what exactly are the findings of this survey? What are the details? The day privacy disappears, technological progress loses its meaning. Building a network that no one can shut down—that’s what we’re doing. You simply can’t have both freedom and convenience at the same time, it’s time to wake up. Surveillance is everywhere, decentralization is the only way to survive.

To be honest, I saw through it a long time ago. That centralized system is bound to collapse sooner or later.

I told you long ago, centralization was bound to fail sooner or later. Now you see it clearly... On-chain is the only way forward.

I told you a long time ago, the centralized approach was bound to fail sooner or later. --- Web3 isn't about speculation, it's the last line of defense against surveillance. --- There's never been a standard answer to the question of freedom vs. progress... but now it seems freedom is the choice. --- Surveillance is getting more detailed, privacy is getting more expensive—in plain terms, they're selling the future. --- Decentralization isn't fringe anymore, it's now a real necessity.

I told you, centralized systems were bound to have problems sooner or later. --- Web3 isn’t a utopia, but at least it gives us the right to choose—that’s the real point. --- Surveillance is everywhere; who can still claim to have privacy... --- After being called "fringe" for so many years, is it their turn to panic now? --- The smarter AI gets, the less freedom people have. Ironic, isn’t it? --- Decentralization used to get heavily criticized, but now it turns out to be a shield. --- Central bank digital currencies, facial recognition, big data tracking... there’s really no turning back. --- The problem isn’t the technology, it’s who controls it—that’s the core issue. --- You can’t have both freedom and convenience; most people chose the latter. --- Is permissionless just a fantasy or a necessity? Now it seems more and more like a necessity.

I've been saying it all along, centralization is a trap. You're only realizing it now? --- To be honest, the whole Web3 thing is finally getting noticed. Otherwise, it was getting dissed every day as madness. --- That AI surveillance stuff really can't hold up anymore. Time to wake up, guys. --- Decentralization has always been the right way, it's just been criticized until now... hilarious. --- What's the point of playing if we lose our privacy rights? Feels like we need to hold on even tighter. --- A permissionless system really is a necessity after all. --- Wait, is this an attempt to legitimize crypto? Interesting...

It's an old topic in Web3. You're only realizing it now? We've been talking about this three years ago.
