This is actually incredible.

  1. Buy all the RAM and video cards. RAM and video cards become too expensive for the average person to purchase.
  2. Push AI for everything until dependency develops.
  3. Sell remote access to computing power. (AI, Streaming video games, remote desktop, etc.)
  4. As the "Operating System Provider," collect all of the personal information necessary to validate that each user is telling the truth about their age.

Result: Zero Individual Privacy- Everything you compute is processed by a computer owned by a big corporation with a backdoor built-in for your authoritarian government (which is owned by billionaires) to surveil.

Anyone who says there is no plan by large groups to control people is a fool. They aren't some secret shadowy group that will vanish into thin air the moment some obese tinfoil hat wearing nutjob with a gun flashes a flashlight at them, but they're so incredibly obvious that it is incredible many are still in denial about it.

Yes, the people at the top are incredibly stupid, but their plan isn't something that needs genius level intellect to work. It just needs a fuckload of money and a compliant legislative branch, and they have both.
