AI will lead to a tyrannical police state
> What will happen once the rug invariably gets pulled? Those data centers will start serving another purpose.
> All around the world, governments are assembling massive networks of cameras, “license plate readers” that are suspiciously equipped with microphones sensitive enough to listen in on your conversations, and other unimaginable surveillance devices.
> All that computing power built up under the guise of bringing about the “AI future” will start being used to spy on you, follow your every movement, listen to all your calls, and more.
Isn't there a case to be made that this is/already has been the case and is not uniquely an AI thing? The governements of the world weren't waiting for ChatGPT to go viral before deciding to spy on their citizens so why we blame AI for this?
Are you saying large language models can better for surveillance? The article says all the data center power will be used to spy on you but that makes 0 sense, why would you need that much power to do what you have already done for so long so well? What is the LLM adding here that makes us scale this to previously impossible levels?
This is the truth! We are living in a surveillance state that would make Stalin green with envy.
We are also seeing daily examples of this surveillance state being used against political opponents, powerful bloggers and journalists among the alternative media, and regular citizens who said the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Since human beings are easily corrupted by power, this system will be weaponized more and more, and democracy will be hacked away at as well, until we are living in an authoritarian society with a democratic fig leaf, as we can see among the dirka-dirka-stans of the world.

Because AI can do this at a scale previously impossible.
