Only if they think you are a terrorist, a spy or proliferating nuclear weapons. That last one will get all hot and bothered.

Otherwise there isn't enough budget for them to care.

Maybe I'm 95% safe from this AI only..

Antivirus is no more needed with windows defender. They are simply resource hoggers

Off topic, Windows Defender is still a resource hogger but then most folks would not notice it.

If you use key combinations with Shift key, that is difficult for the ai.

The AI can eat shit bro, my government can leak all my data with 100% accuracy at will.

 

[jammy420]

I am wondering who in the world is so much interested in me and my data?

This works only for mechanical or hybrid keyboards, not for spongy membranes keyboards

My good old ultra vise words.. the day you came online is the day all your personal, secret, pvt, confidential info. etc. got sold out beyond this planet and after aadhar it actually never gave any aadhar to the common man but only to the hackers..
The best you can do now is just keep chanting some good mantra, have a gurus hand on your head, donate everything and take sanyas!

So the best you can do is also get scammed again?

Again? Those who all got scammed should have already learnt their lessons but if they are ignorant then its obvious be ready to get scammed on and on until your bank bal gets exhausted as only money matters for scammers nothing else..

And we all are living on the dge every moment and blame it all to the smartphones as email days are gone or are scarce but our phones.
We are just a click and otp away from getting scammed and hacked.

Is this some whatsapp group message?
I mean you are clearly over thinking about these things.

Further, giving what you earned all the way, to some babas, going to sanyas etc. - I don't think it would redeem anyone. But this is like getting scammed again.
