If it's not bad enough that Facebook is using your own self-diagnosing to determine new 'hot-zones' for COVID-19; now you have Harvard, MIT, and an Israel start-up company developing AI that will determine - WITHOUT A BLOOD TEST, if you have Covid-19 simply by listening to your voice. What if you have a cold? What if you have the flu? What if you've been drinking and slurring your words? WTF! Are you really going to let this happen?

Quote of the day:

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a (robot) boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

― George Orwell, 1984
