Internet Archive folks just did a podcast episode about this: Mass Surveillance and the Loss of Fun. Basically everyone is on stage putting on an act all the time.

It's already changing lives. I did some stupid shit in my teens, I would hate if it was recorded. Teens now have that knowledge that anything can be recorded and shared easily with the world.

I don't think they'll do any of the dumb stuff I did at parties.

It affects my associations in that I don't use some of the applications and platforms they, the larger society, use to interact with each other and also that I am reluctant to even contact people at all if they have spyware or LLMs in their phones, cars, computers, etc.

As for if it will affect the way in which people already under heavy surveillance interact with each other, I expect psyops to be extremely effective currently but clearly not absolute as demonstrated by fascists and China losing the US election.

What is a content algorithm if not surveilling and studying civilians to push chosen content in front of them and control how they act, what they buy, where they travel, etc.

Just look at China. Subdued is the word.

It could be a great equalizer if everyone was just as under the microscope as everybody else. The power-tripping types will never allow that, however.

Think carefully before you answer. They are watching.

look at the UK, CHINA. thats why flock, AXON, motorola is hastily trying to deploy AI cameras, so by then it will be next to impossible to take them all down.

There is an increasing demand for tech-free spaces.
I envision that we will collectively develop increasingly stringent etiquette regarding when it is appropriate to use (or even carry) communications tech. E.g. venues with a phone locker at the entrance. Also simply shunning public use.
