    AI makes this all go exponential.

    We've had for a few years now almost universal video surveillance of all public spaces, but pre-AI it's just not realistic to monitor or search it all. Well, it is now. Video just being one example of the surveillance data firehouse that will become legible to the state -- or anyone else that can centralize their access to it all.

    I think this will end up being actually the most impactful element of AI on society, and it's not going to be great.
