I don't think I see enough discussion about what this means for privacy. There was some protection in the fact that it was prohibitively expensive to get someone to listen to every single one of our phonecalls/read all our emails/etc. Worrying that this will no longer be the case.
Why do you think there was a mass surveillance of American domestic communications since forever ago, as leaked by Snowden? This technology has been available since then and can effectively summarize millions of pieces of communication.
No, it hasn't lol.
We need new political arrangements to distribute the gains of AI or things are going to get very bad very quickly.
Interesting to see what the impact will be on crowdsourcing annotation companies like Scale AI, especially after reading this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrickcai/2023/04/11/how-alexa...

Yeah but have you seen the leaked slides? It's clear that they have only the ability to analyse 10% or less of the data they are storing . GPT-like systems will close that gap, and then comes all of the problems of automated law enforcement - Extrapolation from incomplete data, false positives from coindicences, interpretation errors, all that annoying stuff

What is going to happen are private robotic armies making sure private owners remain private owners.
And then, we will go back to times where people were not citizens by default and had fewer rights.

Man, I can't wait for the AI to start hallucinating crimes.
I mean, if we get to the point AI is pointing the finger at someone i hope that a human will double check it at least.

That's already how it worked on platforms like mturk and uhrs, lots of the work was transcribing audio dumps from microphones built into computers/phones/smart home devices. UHRS especially had a lot of that (it's owned by MS) as well as search engine grading type work. They also certainly do not pay well, I'd imagine that in practice there isn't much cost difference to paying a bunch of bored people to do it vs the compute cost for running an AI model to do it, but the AI model will be vastly more accurate and will work 24/7.
