      They better riot fast. Normalized camera peeking will change the tone there very quickly.

      People will be stuffing their phones into couches or running water and shit, and some AI will be able to detect patterns of surveillance evasion and they won’t even have to do anything official about it just send the surveillance avoider a message in the form of a camera turning to follow them or something like “hey, we noticed you’re being sus”.

      And then there will be huge incentive slope toward not avoiding surveillance. So people will have to fall back on hiding their thoughts.

      And the mental strain will be enormous. And that will sap their fight.

        Yeah I feel like all this surveillance normalisation needs to go the other way around, we should be the ones observing our systems and it’s outcomes not for a large AI to be observing us as individuals

          Yes! And government employees should be under total surveillance. In return for their temporary expansion of power, they should submit to a temporary reduction in privacy.

          And that surveillance shouldn’t just go into an archive to be retrieved by subpoena. It should be made available in real time to literally anyone at any time.

          That’s government transparency in my book.
