In the last ten years technology has increased substantially. In the last five years AI has advanced significantly.
That is worth really letting sink in.
I try my best to avoid every kind of online discussion on these topics that I reasonably can avoid. Some might even see it as paranoia. But I assume that every single thing I post online (or say on the phone, send in text, or write in emails) is traceable back to me directly, that it is being captured and stored by multiple agencies and countries and that it is all fed into AIs that are at least as capable as GPT-4.
Imagine a Gov-GPT where you can ask it: "Tell me everything I need to know about John Smith" and the AI can related his job history, credit score, recent emails at home and work, his phone calls, his purchases, his political opinions, his spiritual beliefs, his likely weaknesses ... all smartly formatted in a succinct essay that we know and love from ChatGPT.
My question is, if we aren't there already, how long until we are?
Just an example, if you're into the Google ecosystem (which kids are, right from the school days) - it knows almost everything about you, more than your ex-friends and spouse - and combined with Bard or AI, very well... you can now imagine.
